CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same
as falling a distance of
10 metres. Transporting a
child without a restraint is the equi-
valent of allowing him or her to play
on a fourthfloor balcony without rail-
ings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX fittings checked.
Never leave a child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is
always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid
wearing bulky clothing which could
cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or
arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey, espe-
cially if asleep.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the childproof
locks (refer to the informa-
tion on “Locking/unlocking
the doors” in Section 1).

FUEL TANK (3/6)
Filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle to open the valve and
insert it fully before turning it on to fill
the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout 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 and its sur-
round must remain clean.
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle when traffic conditions allow it and switch off
the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;
– contact an authorised dealer.
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).
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 (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/5)
Your vehicle has a greater
ground clearance than an
ordinary passenger vehicle.
This gives it a higher centre
of gravity, making it more suscep-
tible to rolling during sudden or ag-
gressive manoeuvres, or when cor-
nering at high speeds.
Take extra care when the vehicle is
loaded (in particular when the load
is on the roof).
Ensure that all passengers are wea-
ring their seat belts.
A label A affixed to the sun visor re-
minds you of this.
A
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

2.19
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.

LONGITUDINAL ROOF BARS
For information on the range of
equipment adapted to your ve-
hicle, we advise you to consult
an approved Dealer. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for in-
formation on how to fit and operate
the equipment.
Please keep these instructions with
the rest of the vehicle documenta-
tion.
Maximum permissible load on
roof rack: refer to the information
on “Weights” in Section 6.
1
If fitted on the vehicle, you can trans-
port luggage or additional equipment
(bike racks, ski racks, etc):
– on a roof rack;
– on transverse roof bars which must in turn be attached to roof bars fitted
lengthways 1;
– directly onto the longitudinal roof bars.
It is forbidden to fit longitudinal roof
bars on vehicles which are not origi-
nally equipped with them.
2
If fitted to the vehicle, you can use the
mounting holes 2 of the longitudinal
bars to:
– use luggage restraint systems (straps, cords, etc.);
– attach additional items without using the transverse roof bars.

OPERATING FAULTS (4/5)
Radiator: If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never b\
e topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial drain\
ing of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct p\
roportions. Reminder: only products approved
by the Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
On the road POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Whistling Roof aerial poorly positioned. Position the aerial.
The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature indicator light comes
on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
contact an approved dealer.
Coolant leaks. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
check the coolant reservoir: it should con-
tain fluid. If there is no coolant, consult an
approved dealer as soon as possible.
The oil change warning light remains
lit after an oil change. Warning not reset after oil change.
Reset the warning after changing the oil;
refer to the information in the paragraph on
the “On-board computer” in Section 1.
