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.

Wheel trim 3(exposed wheel bolts)
To remove it without removing the
wheel, press it at the points indicated
by the arrows.
Turn it so that the retaining brackets
holding it in place behind the wheel
bolts are released.
To refit the hubcap, proceed in reverse
order.

Remove it using hubcap tool 2 (located
under the tool kit), by pushing the hook
into the opening located near the valve
(to reach the metal retaining wire lo-
cated behind the wheel trim).
To refit it, align it with the valve. Push the

tyrEs (2/3)
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 P
si).
n
ever deflate a hot tyre.
special features: depending on the ve-
hicle, there is an adapter which must be
positioned on the valve before adding
air.
Fitting new tyres
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on “Puncture”
and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
t yre pressuresRespect the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). Check
them at least once a month and before
a long journey (refer to the label on the
edge of the driver’s door).
incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
–
poor road holding;
– risk of bursting or tread separa -
tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures”).
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
–
may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
–
it may change the way it handles
when cornering;
–
it may cause the steering to be
heavy;
–
It may affect the use of snow
chains.
