Please ensure that you comply with the
legislation of your country.
It is important to remember that failure
to respect regulations in force could
lead to legal action being taken against
the vehicle owner.
Operating principleThe use of additives reduces exhaust
emissions by transforming the pollut-
ants into water vapour and nitrogen.
FillingCapacity of the fuel tank: 20 litres ap-
proximately.
Open the front left door to open the
cover A. Unscrew the cap 1.
ADDITIVE TANK (1/4)

Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical to
the original cap. Contact an appro-
ved Dealer. Do not wash the filler
area with a high pressure washer.
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function
To fill up with additive, the engine
must be stopped (and not on
standby): stop the engine (Please
See “Starting, stopping the engine”
in Section 2).
No work whatsoever is
permitted on any part of
the system. To prevent
damage, only qualified per-
sonnel from our network may work
on the system.
Topping upAfter filling the additive
tank, check that the cap and
cover are closed, start the
engine and WAIT 10 seconds with
the vehicle stationary, engine
running before setting off again.
If this operation is not carried out,
the filling of the tank will not be
taken into account automatically
until after several dozens of minutes
of driving. The message “--- TOP UP
ADBLUE” and/or the warning lights
will continue to appear until the fill-
ing has been taken into account by the system.
If the warning “XXXX
KM FAILURE TOP UP
ADBLUE” appears, fill the
additive tank and refer to
the filling instructions.
Risk of immobilisation of the
vehicle.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/4)
Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

3.12
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (1/2)
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in town)
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the
environment
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed. If the vehicle has been
parked in the sun, open the doors for a
few moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.
MaintenanceRefer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Advice on use
In some situations (air conditioning off,
air recirculation activated, ventilation
speed at zero or low etc.), you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again.
Use the air conditioning system reg-
ularly, even in cold weather, running
it at least once a month for approxi-
mately 5 minutes.
Vehicles equipped with
modeECO
Once activated, ECO mode may
reduce air conditioning perform-
ance. Please refer to the informa-
tion on “Driving advice, Eco-driving”
in Section 2.
