Before driving at night,
check that the electrical
equipment is operating cor-
rectly and adjust the head-
light beams (if your vehicle is not
carrying its normal load). As a gen-
eral precaution, check that the lights
are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow
or objects being transported).If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder with tail-
gate open, the rear lights
may be obscured. You
should make other road users aware
of your vehicle by using a warning
triangle or other equipment speci-
fied by the road traffic regulations of
the country you are driving in.

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.

St ARtING/StoPPING thE ENGINE
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key inside and
never leave a child (or pet)
unsupervised, even for a
short time.
There is a risk that they could start
the engine or operate electrical
equipment (electric windows etc.)
and trap part of their body (neck,
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has stopped completely.
Switching off the engine disables
the assistance equipment: brakes,
steering, etc., and passive safety
equipment such as air bags and
pretensioners.

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.

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.

stopped, depending on the
gradient and/or the vehicle
load, it may be necessary to
apply the handbrake by at least two
further notches and engage a gear
(1
st or reverse).
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb
or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved
dealer.
