Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) should match
the information given on the label B lo-
cated inside the fuel filler flap.
Vehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
Always use unleaded petrol or fuel
containing a maximum of 85 percent
ethanol (E85).
In very cold conditions it may be difficult
or even impossible to start the engine.
To avoid this problem, use unleaded
petrol.
Note: you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
When the fuel is changed the engine
must adjust, which may cause minor in-
conveniences for a few minutes (longer
starting times, cutting out, etc.).
FUEL TANK (2/5)
Filling up with petrol or dieselWith the ignition off, insert the nozzle to
open the valve and insert it fully before
turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of
splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling operation.
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.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The valve and its sur-
round must remain clean.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent
fuel odour 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 stay clear
of the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.

Filling stations without self-service
If service station staff fill your vehicle
with LPG, give them a filling adapter 2,
as supplied in a pouch in the glove box.
FUEL TANK (3/5)
IMPORTANT:
The adapter 2 depends on the coun-
try in which the vehicle is sold.
Before travelling to another country,
please consult an authorised dealer.
LPG versions
Useful capacity of fuel tank: approx.
32 litres.
Filling up with LPG
Engage the handbrake, stop the engine,
switch off the ignition and switch off the
lights.
Always respect the safety instructions
given at filling stations.
When filling the tank, add the desired
quantity of LPG.
When the pump stops delivering LPG,
or when the pump flow reduces sig-
nificantly, the maximum LPG level has
been reached.
At this point, do not attempt to carry on
filling.
If you exceed the LPG tank
capacity when filling com-
pletely, please go to an ac-
credited garage or your
authorised dealer to check the auto-
matic filler device.

FUEL TANK (4/5)
Filling stations with self-service
We recommend that you wear gloves
when handling the LPG pistol.
Open your vehicle’s tank cover and un-
screw the cap 3 from the end piece of
the LPG filler 4.
Carefully follow the information explain-
ing how to refill using the LPG distribu-
tor. When the pump finishes or if it has dif-
ficulties operating, this means that the
maximum tank fill level (80%) has been
reached.
The filling will stop as soon as you re-
lease the button. Release the stop
lever (a small amount of gas may be re-
leased), lift the pistol and place it on the
distributor.
Replace the cap 3
to avoid any water
or foreign bodies from entering the
system.

Special note
Depending on the vehicle, accessories
(e.g. radio) stop working either when
the engine is switched off or when the
doors are locked.
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Starting the engine
In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
Feature when starting the engine, if the
outdoor temperature is very low (below
- 10 ° C): hold down the clutch pedal
until the engine starts.
Petrol injection
– Activate the starter without de-
pressing the accelerator.
– Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
ÉDiesel injection
Turn the ignition key to ignition
“On” position M, and hold this position
until the preheating warning light goes
out.
Move the key to “Start” position D with-
out accelerating. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts. LPG versions
The engine is always started using
petrol:
– activate the starter without accelerat-
ing;
– release the key as soon as the engine starts.
The system will automatically deter-
mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.
When operating on LPG, the fuel gauge
may indicate a drop in the petrol level
and the on-board computer will not op-
erate.
Every 3,000 miles driven using LPG,
drivers are recommended to drive for
around 3 to 6 miles in petrol mode.
To enable the system to operate
smoothly and to prevent any wear to
the vehicle’s electric petrol pump, the
petrol tank should always be around
1/4 full.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key
back to “Stop” position St.
Never leave your vehicle
with the key or remote con-
trol inside and never leave
a child (or a pet) unsuper-
vised, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely . Once the engine has
stopped, the brake servo, power as-
sisted steering and passive safety
equipment such as air bags will no
longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key
is removed.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (3/3)
If driving under severe
conditions
If driving under severe conditions
(heavily laden vehicle, high outside
temperature, starting on a steep slope,
etc), you are recommended to switch to
petrol mode.
In the event of an accident
The main precautions to be taken are
the same as with petrol vehicles:
– apply the handbrake;
– stop the engine (a safety device that stops LPG from entering the engine
is automatically triggered);
– switch off the ignition;
– observe local regulations.
LPG has a very specific
smell so you will be able to
detect any leaks easily. If
you smell gas in your vehi-
cle or immediately surrounding your
vehicle:
– switch to petrol mode immedi- ately and make sure there are no
flames or sources of fire near the
vehicle;

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life which will come
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac-
turer is actively striving to reduce pol-
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to
save energy. But the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main-
tained and used correctly.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that fai-
lure to respect antipollution regulations
could lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel
supply system and exhaust compo-
nents with parts other than those origi-
nally recommended by the manufactu-
rer may alter your vehicle so that it no
longer complies with antipollution regu-
lations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Spark plugs:
for optimum condi-
tions of use, output 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
authorised dealer for this.
– Air filter: a choked element will reduce efficiency. It must be re-
placed.
– Ignition and idle speed: no adjust-
ment is needed.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an approved Dealer as soon as pos-
sible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
