Petrol version
For the first 600 miles (1,000 km) do
not exceed 54 mph (90 km/h) in the
highest gear.
After 600 miles (1,000 km) , you can
use your vehicle normally. However,
it is only after running 1,800 miles
(3,000 km) that you can expect full per-
formance.
Service intervals: refer to the
Maintenance Document for the vehicle.
Diesel version
For the first 900 miles (1,500 km), do
not exceed 54 mph (90 km/h). After
completing this mileage you may
drive faster, however, it is only after
3600 miles (6,000 km) have been cov-
ered that you may reasonably expect
full performance.
During the running in period, do not ac-
celerate hard while the engine is still
cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Service intervals: refer to the
Maintenance Document for the vehicle.
RUNNING IN/IGNITION SWITCH
In the “Accessories” or “On” posi-
tion, a system may automatically
switch off your vehicle’s accessories
depending on the battery charge, to
prevent it from discharging com-
pletely.

Battery 1 does not require any mainte-
nance. You should not open it or add
any fluid.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
BATTERY (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status.
When the ignition is off, some consum-
ers may also be switched off (dipped
beam headlights, radio, ventilation,
etc.). On the instrument panel, the
“BATTERY MODE : ECONOMY” mes-
sage appears when they are switched
off. When the level is extremely low,
the messages “BATTERY LOW” and
“START ENGINE” are displayed.
The charge status of the battery can
decrease, especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops, etc.;
– with the vehicle stopped and the engine off.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.

den;
– 3 eye protection required;
– 4 keep away from children;

Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances
when driving on gravelled surfaces to
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas
where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechani-
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper”
in Section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional lights
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and refit
the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used.
Vehicles with a matte paint
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing);
– rub hard;
– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car
wash;
– wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle
sponge.
