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.

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.

Advice on antipollution, fuel economy and driving
ADvIcE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
Engine adjustments
– Ignition: this does not require ad-
justment.
–
Spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, efficiency and performance,
the specifications laid down by our
Design Department must be strictly
applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed,
use the make, type and gap specified
for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an
approved Dealer for this.
–

Idle speed: this does not require ad-
justment.
–

Air filter, diesel filter: a choked el-
ement hinders performance. It must
be replaced.
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect
antipollution regulations may lead to
legal action being taken against the
vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu-
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
standards.
Have your vehicle checked and ad-
justed by an approved Dealer in ac-
cordance with the instructions in your
Maintenance Service Booklet. Your
Dealer has all the equipment necessary
for ensuring that your vehicle is main-
tained to its original standard.
Your vehicle has been designed to
actively strive to reduce the pollutant
exhaust gas emissions and to save
energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle conforms to current antipollu-
tion regulations. But the fuel consump-
tion of your vehicle and the level of pol-
lutant exhaust gas emissions are also
your responsibility. Make sure that your
vehicle is maintained and used cor-
rectly.

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.

Environment
ENvIRoNMENt
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.

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.
