Petrol and diesel versions
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.
Diesel version
Use diesel engine fuel only. Make sure
that no water accidentally enters the
fuel tank during filling. The fuel filler
cap and neck must be clean and dust-
free. The diesel fuel must be of a high
grade.System for cutting off the
fuel supply in the event of a
severe impact
Refer to the information on the “Fuel
cut-off system in the event of a severe
impact” in Section 5.
Filling with fuel
Petrol versions
Use unleaded petrol only.
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
valve which only allows the nozzle
for unleaded petrol to be used (at the
pump).
–
Insert the nozzle as far as it will go
and so as to open the valve.
–
Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling opera-
tion.
FUEL TANK (2/2)
No modifications what -
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (electronic unit,
wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protec-
tive covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by
qualified Network personnel).
Persistent smell of
fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
–
stop the vehicle as soon as traf -
fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;
–
switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers
to leave the vehicle and to keep
away from traffic;
–
contact an approved Dealer.

Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system
will detect any operating faults in the
vehicle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThe instrument panel warning
light shows any system faults:
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after 3 sec-
onds.
–
if it lights up continuously, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
–
if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
ADvIcE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
Driving
– 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. –
Brake as little as possible by suitably
anticipating an obstacle or bend and
then simply releasing the accelerator
pedal.
–
Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in -
termediate gears. Always use the
highest gear possible without labour-
ing the engine.
–
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.
–
Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through floods
if the depth of water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.

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.

Anti-lock braking system
ANtI-locK BRAKING SyStEM: ABS
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
–
ABS (anti-lock braking system);
– emergency brake assist with, de -
pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation;
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. th
ey do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
ABS (Anti-lock Braking
System)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle’s physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.
operating faults:
– If the
x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while driv-
ing, braking is still operational ;
–
If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on when driving, this indicates a
fault with the braking system.
In such cases, the ABS and emergency
brake assist are also deactivated and,
depending on the vehicle, the mes-
sages “check ABS” and “check brak-
ing system” appear on the instrument
panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.

Emergency brake assist
This is an additional system to ABS
which helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
o
perating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In this case, the brak-
ing assistance immediately develops
maximum power and may trigger ABS
regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is not released.

general information
If the level is at minimum: “ok” will not
appear on the display; dashes and “oil”
will flash (message 2) and, depending
on the vehicle,
ø lights up on the
instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
The

When the ignition has been switched
on for approximately 30 seconds:
If the level is above the minimum
level , the display shows display mes-
sage
1.
For more information, press the trip
mileage recorder reset button.
The squares which appear on the dis-
play indicate the level. These symbols
disappear as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by dashes.
engIne OIL LeveL: general information (1/2)
The display only warns the
driver if the oil level is at the
minimum level. It does not
inform the driver that the oil
level has exceeded the maximum
level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes. However, contact an
approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres
is being consumed every 600 miles
(1,000 km) after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the
vehicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
t h
e dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only alerts
the driver when the oil level is at its min-
imum.
