CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/ h) is the same
as falling a distance of
10 metres. Transporting a
child without a restraint is the equiv-
alent of allowing him or her to play
on a fourth-floor balcony without
railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved
in a road accident, replace the
child seat and have the seat belts
checked.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the childproof
locks (please refer to the in-
formation on “Locking/un-
locking the doors” in Section 1).
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on 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 by locking the
doors.
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.

is locked. In this case, the next time
the engine is started the lights will be
switched back on according to the
position of the ring 3.

driver’s door is opened and the lights
have been left switched on after the ig-

FUEL TANK (1/2)
Filling the tank
Open the driver’s door in order to open
flap 1.
Depending on the vehicle, unlock cap 2
using the key.
Remove cap 2 and attach it to flap 1.
Useful capacity of fuel tank: approxi-
mately 105 litres or 80 litres (depend-
ing on the vehicle).
Filling with fuel
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.

After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.
Fuel filler cap: this is of a
special type.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical
to the original cap. Contact an ap-
proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not add additive to the
fuel – otherwise you risk damaging
the engine.
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

vices such as air bags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.

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.
Never start your vehicle
while freewheeling on a
gradient. Risk of non-acti-
vation of power-assisted
steering.
There is a risk of accidents.
Depending on the vehicle, if a gear is
engaged, the message “Depress clutch
