tional while the engine is stopped.
STOP AND START function (1/3)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the

Fuel gauge warning light A
The warning lights A (4 green lights and
1 red light) indicate the level in the LPG
tank.
The red warning light indicates the fuel
tank.
The amount of LPG indicated is an in-
dicative value.
The red warning light indicates that
the tank is almost empty and that the
engine is operating using the fuel tank
(approximately 11 to 13 litres).
SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (1/3)
LPG vehicles
These vehicles operate using petrol or
LPG.
They have two separate tanks.
What is LPG?
LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum
Gas.
It can be readily identified by its charac-
teristic smell.
An LPG installation on
a vehicle may lead to
changes to the vehicle’s
features, compared to
petrol versions. This may relate to
the number of seats, mass (usable
capacity) and towing capacity.
Contact an authorised dealer.
LPG/petrol fuel mode selection
control C
This enables the driver to switch from
one fuel to another.
Green warning light D
A lit warning light indicates that LPG
mode is active.
Rapid flashing of the warning light D
indicates that the system is waiting for
the necessary conditions to switch to
LPG mode.
Yellow warning light B
A lit warning light indicates that petrol
mode is active.
If the yellow warning light is
on while the green warning
light flashes slowly and a
beep is heard, please take
your vehicle to an authorised dealer
for inspection.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (2/3)
Changing fuel while driving
To switch from petrol to LPG
Press control C. The vehicle will switch
to LPG the next time the accelerator
pedal is pressed.
The LPG fuel level A is activated. The
yellow warning light B goes out and the
green warning light D flashes quickly to
confirm that LPG has been selected,
then stops flashing when LPG mode is
active.
Pressing control C stops the beep from
sounding and only the yellow warning
light B stays on.
To switch from LPG to petrol.
Release the accelerator pedal and
press the control C.
Petrol mode is indicated by the yellow
warning light B.Automatic switch to petrol
The system automatically switches to
petrol mode if there is no more LPG
remaining in the tank. You will be in-
formed by:
– the green D and yellow B warning
lights coming on;
– a beep sounds.
Pressing control C stops the beep from
sounding and only the yellow warning
light B stays on.
Depending on the vehicle, under certain
conditions of use, the system may opt to
temporarily switch back to petrol mode
(the green warning light D flashes wi-
thout any beep sounding, for example,
during strong acceleration). Once the
suitable conditions are present once
again, it will automatically switch back
to LPG mode. After several unsuccess-
ful attempts, the system may decide to
remain in petrol mode for the current
driving session. A further attempt may
be made after the engine has been at a
complete stop for 1 minute.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (3/3)
If driving under severe
conditions
If driving under severe conditions (hea-
vily laden vehicle, high outside tempe-
rature, starting on a steep slope, etc),
you are recommended to switch to
petrol mode.
At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it
is recommended to use ECO mode to
maximise the use of LPG. Please refer
to the information on “Driving advice,
Eco-driving” in Section 2.
In the event of an accident
The main precautions to be taken are
the same as with petrol vehicles:
– apply the handbrake;
– stop the engine (a safety device that
stops LPG from entering the engine
is automatically triggered);
– switch off the ignition;
– observe local regulations.
LPG has a very specific
smell so you will be able to
detect any leaks easily. If
you smell gas in your vehi-
cle or immediately surrounding your
vehicle:
– switch to petrol mode immedia-
tely and make sure there are no
flames or sources of fire near the
vehicle;
– go to an authorised dealer.
Do not touch, hit or dis-
mantle any part of the LPG
system components.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault which may affect
the correct operation of the engine, the
system automatically switches from
LPG to petrol mode.
This is confirmed by:
– the appearance of the yellow war-
ning light B;
– slow flashing of the green warning
light D;
– a beep sounds.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/5)
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
Vehicles with 4x4 (4WD) trans-
mission
On flat, level ground, with the vehi-
cle unladen, you are recommended
to start in second gear.
Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– Drive carefully for the first few miles
until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
You should always use the highest
gear possible.
Driving problems
On the driver’s side, only
use mats specially adapted
for the vehicle and attached
to prefitted devices. Check regularly
to make sure they are secure. Do
not overlay several mats.
Risk of pedals jamming.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (5/5)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door
calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature. Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
