Repriming the fuel circuit
After a breakdown caused by com-
pletely running out of fuel, the system
must be reprimed before the engine is
restarted:
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury .
The peripheral components (alter-
nator, starter, engine mountings,
etc.) should be protected against
splashes of fuel.
Vehicles with a manual priming bulb
– If fitted to the vehicle, turn the bleed
screw located on the diesel filter;
– activate the priming bulb 1 until it
hardens and fuel runs in the pipes.

FUEL TANK (3/3)
Vehicles without a manual priming
bulb
– Put the ignition key in “On” posi- tion M (please see the information
on the “Ignition switch” in Section
2) and wait for a few minutes before
starting, to enable the fuel circuit to
be primed;
– turn the key to position D . If the
engine does not start, repeat the pro-
cedure.

2.2
Ignition on position M
The ignition is switched on:
– petrol version: you can start the ve-
hicle;
– diesel version: the engine is pre-
heating.
Start position D
If the engine fails to start at the first
attempt, the key must be turned back
before the starter can be activated
again. Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Note: on diesel versions, several sec-
onds may pass between turning the
key and the engine starting to allow for
engine preheating.
Ignition switch
Stop and steering lock
position St
To lock: remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until the steering column
locks.
To unlock: turn the key and the steering
wheel slightly.
Accessories position A

Running in
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 930 miles (1,500 km) do
not exceed 56 mph (90 km/h) in the
highest gear. After completing this mile-
age you may drive faster, however, it
is only after approximately 3600 miles
(6,000 km) 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.

2.3
ÉDiesel versions
– Turn the ignition key to the
“Ignition on” position M, and hold
this position until the engine pre-
heating light goes off;
– turn the key to starter position D
without depressing the accel-
erator pedal;
– release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Special note: if starting the engine
when the outdoor temperature is very
low (below - 10 ° C): hold down the
clutch pedal until the engine starts.
Starting the engine
Petrol versions
– Activate the starter without ac-
celerating;
– release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key to
the “Stop” position St.
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has
stopped completely. Once
the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc., and the passive safety de-
vices such as the airbags and pre-
tensioners will no longer operate.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

vehicles with an automatic gearbox),
insert the key in the ignition-starter
switch.
Reposition the lever to neutral (position

Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off:
the
gearbox is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the front wheels
off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going
forward, with the gear lever in the
Neutral position, and for a distance
not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
TOWING: breakdown (1/2)

stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
