Special features of diesel versions
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such as
grass or leaves can come into con-
tact with the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– make sure that the battery is always
fully charged;
–
always keep the diesel tank rela -
tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment incorporating a mechanical
regulator which prevents overrevving
of the engine irrespective of the gear
in use.
Running out of fuel
You may start the engine normally after
refilling the fuel tank even if you have
completely run out of fuel , provided
that the battery is well-charged.
However, if the engine fails to start after
a few seconds and several attempts,
contact an approved Dealer.

Make your contribution towards pro-
tecting the environment too.
–
Worn parts replaced in the course of
routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations.
–
At the end of the vehicle’s service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
–
In all cases, comply with local legis -
lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable, in line with European
requirements that will come into force
in 2015.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have been
carefully designed to allow these com-
ponents to be easily removed and re-
processed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured in
a factory which complies with the strict-
est environmental standards.
Furthermore, a system has been imple-
mented for checking all of the vehicle
components.
Emissions
Your vehicle is equipped with a parti-
cle filter system including
a catalytic
converter, an oxygen sensor and an
active carbon filter (the latter prevents
vapour from the petrol tank being re-
leased into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.

Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car-
rying out operations in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
t o avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour-
tesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnect-
ing the battery.
–
When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
–
Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short cir-
cuit between the terminals.
–
Always wait at least twenty seconds
after the engine has been switched
off before disconnecting a battery.
–
Make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
As the battery is specific
to
the vehicle (presence of
a ventilation pipe to expel
corrosive and explosive
gases), make sure that it is replaced
with a battery that enables this pipe
to be connected. Consult an ap-
proved Dealer.

plying the current.
C
onnect the negative (–) lead B to (–)
t
erminal 3 of the battery supplying the
current
and then to (–) terminal 4 of the
discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact between
leads
A and B and that the positive (+)
l
ead A is not touching any metal parts
on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it
is running, disconnect leads A and B
in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)
connecting a battery charger
the battery charger must be com-
p
atible with a battery with nominal
voltage
of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then discon-
nect both battery leads s
tarting with
the
negative terminal .
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow
the instruc-
t
ions given by the manufacturer of
the
battery charger you are using.
starting the vehicle using the
battery
from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-
other vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you al-
ready have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
t
he two batteries must have an iden -
tical
nominal voltage of 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply-
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed.
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
batteries. Contact your ap-
proved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may
cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well-venti-
lated area. Risk of serious injury.
