AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING
Operating principle
After the vehicle is started, the system 
automatically locks the doors when 
you are driving at approximately 6 mph  
(10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
–  by pressing door unlocking button  1.
–  by opening a front door (vehicle sta- tionary).
Note: if a door is opened or closed, 
it will automatically lock again when 
the vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph 
(10 km/h).
Activating/deactivating the 
function
To activate: with the vehicle stopped 
and the engine running, press switch  1 
until a beep sounds.
To deactivate: with the vehicle at a 
standstill and with the engine running, 
press switch 1 until two beeps sound.
You can also activate/deactivate this 
function, refer to the information on the 
“Vehicle settings customisation menu” 
in Section 1, function “Auto door locking 
while driving”:
= function activated
< function deactivated.
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no 
automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in button  1 does not light up 
when trying to lock the doors and tail-
gate, etc.), first check that the doors 
and tailgate are properly closed. If they 
are properly closed and the fault is still 
present, contact an approved Dealer.
Also make sure that locking has not 
been inadvertently deactivated.
If it has, switch the ignition off and on 
again and reactivate it.

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the 
doors locked when you are 
driving, remember that it 
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the 
passenger compartment in the 
event of an emergency.

FUEL TANK (2/3)
Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to 
open valve  A and insert it fully before 
turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of 
splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position through-
out the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically 
at the end of the filling procedure, a 
maximum of two further filling attempts 
may be made, as there must be suffi-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for 
expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel 
tank during filling. The valve  A and its 
surround must remain clean.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the 
antipollution system and may lead to a 
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled 
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler 
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a 
foolproof system which only allows 
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be 
used (at the pump).
Persistent smell of 
fuel
If you notice a persistent 
smell of fuel you should:
–  stop the vehicle as soon as traf- fic conditions allow and switch off 
the ignition;
–  switch on the hazard warning  lights and ask your passengers 
to leave the vehicle and to keep 
away from traffic;
–  contact an approved Dealer.
Vehicle fitted with the  Stop and 
Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must 
be stopped (and not on standby): 
stop the engine by pressing the 
engine stop button 1  (please refer 
to the information on “Starting and 
Stopping the engine” in Section 2).
