preheating warning light goes out.
Move the key to “Start” position D with-
out accelerating. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key
back to “Stop” position St.
Starting the engine
In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not
activated. Refer to the information on
the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
Starting/stopping the engine
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehicle with the key or remote control inside and never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child may endanger himself or others by starting the engine, activating equipment such
as the window winders for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely. Once the engine has stopped, the brake servo,
power assisted steering and passive safety equipment such as air bags wi\
ll no longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key is removed.

Handbrake/Power-assisted steering
HANDBRAKE, POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
To apply
Pull lever
1 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.
Depending on the gradient
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary when station-
ary to apply the brake by
at least a further two notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear).
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

Power-assisted steering
With the engine running, do not leave
the steering wheel at full lock while sta-
tionary as this may damage the power-
assisted steering pump.
With the engine switched off, or if there
is a system fault, it is still possible to
turn the steering wheel. The force re-
quired will be greater.

For maintenance operations on the
power-assisted steering, contact an ap-
proved dealer.
Consult an approved dealer at once
if you notice an abnormal or re-
peated drop in any of the fluid levels.

The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
If you feel any variation in the ef-
fectiveness of the power-assisted
steering, consult an approved
dealer.

Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“ E m e r g e n c y s p a r e w h e e l ” a n d
“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
Fitting new tyres
TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
–

poor roadholding;
–


r

isk of blowouts or throwing a
tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the
load and speed of use; adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
–

it

may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
–

It

may change the way it handles
when cornering;
–

I

t may cause the steering to be
heavy;
–

i

t may affect the use of snow
chains.
Important: a missing or
loose valve cap may com-
promise the tyre seal and
cause a loss of pressure.
Always use valve caps which are
identical to the originals.
