When the pump cuts out automatically 
at the end of the filling procedure, a 
maximum of two further filling attempts 
may be made to maintain an expansion 
volume.
Fuel grade
It is  essential  to use diesel. Make 
sure that no water accidentally enters 
the fuel tank during filling. The shut-off 
system and its surrounding area must 
be dust-free. The diesel fuel must be of 
a high grade.

Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
–  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.
–  Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
  You should always use the highest  gear possible.
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/4)
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only 
use mats suitable for the 
vehicle, attached with the 
pre-fitted components, and check 
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one 
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the 
pedals
–  Avoid sudden acceleration.
–  Brake as little as possible. If you an- ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release 
the accelerator pedal.
–  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 water is 
above the lower edge of 
the wheel rims.

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
Your vehicle complies with criteria for 
recycling and recovering vehicles at the 
end of their service life, which entered 
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 failure to 
respect antipollution regulations could 
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 
regulations.
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
–  Air filter, diesel filter: a choked el-
ement will reduce efficiency. It must 
be replaced.
– Idle speed: this does not require ad- justment.
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 possi-
ble;
–  if it flashes, reduce the engine speed  until the light stops flashing. Contact 
your approved dealer as soon as 
possible.
Refer to the information on 
«Additive tank» in Section 1.

Operating faults
When the system detects an operating 
fault the message “CHECK ESC” and 
warning light 
© and  appear 
on the instrument panel. In this case, 
the ESC and traction control system 
are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Electronic stability program 
(ESC) with understeer control 
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control 
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip 
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects 
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle 
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to 
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and 
corrects the trajectory if necessary by 
controlling the braking of certain wheels 
and/or engine power. In the event that 
the system is engaged, indicator light 
 flashes on the instrument panel.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/8)
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the 
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of 
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or 
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system 
measures and compares the speed of 
the drive wheels at all times and slows 
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is 
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip 
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine 
speed to the grip available under the 
wheels, independently of the pressure 
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of 
critical driving conditions, 
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving 
conditions.
The functions do not take the place 
of the driver. They do not increase 
the vehicle’s limits and should 
not encourage you to drive more 
quickly.   Therefore, they can under 
no circumstances replace the vigi-
lance or responsibility of the driver 
when manoeuvring the vehicle (the 
driver must always be ready for 
sudden incidents which may occur 
when driving).

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/8)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS 
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case, 
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS  regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as 
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may 
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “CHECK ABS” 
appears on the instrument panel along 
with the 
© warning light.
Consult an approved dealer.
Driver assistance with a 
trailer
This system helps to maintain control 
over the vehicle while using a trailer. 
It detects shaking caused by towing a 
trailer under certain driving conditions.
Operating conditions
–  The towbar must be approved by an  authorised dealer;
–  the harness must be approved by an  authorised dealer;
–  the towbar must be connected to the  vehicle.
Operating principle
The function stabilises the vehicle by:
– asymmetric braking of the front  wheels to reduce shaking caused by 
the trailer;
–  braking of all four wheels and limita- tion on engine torque to reduce the 
vehicle speed until the shaking has 
stopped.
Warning light 
 flashes on the in-
strument panel to inform the driver.
Active emergency braking
Using the sensor  1, the system calcu-
lates the distance separating the vehi-
cle from the one in front and alerts the 
driver if there is a risk of a front-end col-
lision. The driver can then brake the ve-
hicle to limit the damage arising from a 
collision.
Note: Make sure that the sensor 1  is 
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
