SPEcIAl fEA tURES of PEtRol 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.
The following operating conditions
should be avoided:
–
driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
–
using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives
which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
–
faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
disconnected spark plugs resulting
in the engine misfiring or cutting out
when driving;
–
loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.

ADvIcE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all electri-
cal components which are not really
needed. h
owever (safety first), keep
your lights on when the visibility is
poor (“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%. –
In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning , it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in city conditions) when it is
used. For vehicles fitted with manual
air conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption and therefore helping
to protect 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.
–
Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
–
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 an ap -
proved wind deflector and adjust it
carefully; –
Avoid using the vehicle for door -
to-door calls (short journeys with
long waits in between) because the
engine never reaches its normal op-
erating temperature.
t yres
– Inadequate pressures may increase
fuel consumption.
–
The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.

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.

Air COnDitiOninG: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating. For vehi-
cles fitted with manual air condition-
ing, switch off the system when it is
not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
Drive with the air vents open and
the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in-
spection frequency.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
note
Presence of water under the ve-
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the ve-
hicle. This is caused by condensa-
tion.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
–
r eduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning perform-
ance. This may be caused by the
passenger compartment filter
cartridge becoming clogged.
–
no cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
t h
ere is a risk of damage or of
fire.

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.
In the event of an impact,
even slight, against the ra-
diator grille or bonnet, have
the bonnet catch checked
by an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Make sure the bonnet is
properly locked.
