Operation
If an obstacle is present, the closing mecha-
nism will st op and the windo
w will r
oll back a
few centimetres.
If an obstacle prevents closing for the next 10
seconds, the closing mechanism will once
again stop and the window will roll back an-
other few centimetres.
If in the next 10 seconds you attempt to close
the window after it has rolled back the sec-
ond time, only the closing mechanism will be
stopped even if the obstacle is still present.
The roll-back function is still connected.
The roll-back function will only be disconnec-
ted if you once again attempt to close the
window in the following 10 seconds. In this
case, the window will close at full force.
If you wait for a further 10 seconds, the roll-
back function will be once again connected. Lights and visibility

Operation
CAUTION
Follow the instructions given in the manual. Roof load
The maximum permissible roof load (includ-
ing the support system) of
75 k
g and the total
authorised weight of the vehicle must not be
exceeded.
It will not be possible to carry the full maxi-
mum load if the roof carrier you are using is
rated for a load which is less than this figure.
In this case, you can only load the roof carrier
to the maximum load permitted in your instal-
lation manual. Air conditioning
Heating and air conditioning Gener al not
es The power of the heating depends on the
temper
at
ure of the coolant. Therefore, maxi-
mum power is only obtained when the engine
has reached operating temperature.
The temperature and humidity of the air in-
side the vehicle decrease when the cooling
system is turned on. This therefore increases
the comfort of all vehicle occupants when
outside temperatures and humidity are high. It
also helps prevent the windows from misting
over during cold periods of the year.
The air recirculation system can be switched
on temporarily to increase the cooling effect.
Keep the air intake slots in front of the wind-
screen clear of ice, snow or leaves to ensure
unimpaired heating and cooling.
When the air conditioning is on, condensa-
tion can drip from the evaporator in the air
cooling system and form a pool underneath
the vehicle. This is normal and does not indi-
cate a leak! WARNING

Driving
pollutant emissions are also especially high
during this initial w arm-up phase
. It is ther
e-
fore best to drive off immediately after start-
ing the engine. Avoid running the engine at
high speed.
Periodic maintenance
Periodic maintenance work guarantees that,
before beginning a journey, you will not con-
sume more than the required amount of fuel.
A well-serviced engine gives you the benefit
of improved fuel efficiency as well as maxi-
mum reliability and an enhanced resale val-
ue.
A badly serviced engine can consume up to
10% more fuel than necessary.
Avoid short journeys
To reduce the consumption and emission of
polluting exhaust gases, the engine and the
exhaust gas filtration systems should reach
the optimum operating temperature.
With the engine cold, fuel consumption is pro-
portionally higher. The engine does not warm
up and fuel consumption does not normalise
until having driven approximately four kilome-
tres (2.5 miles). This is why we recommend
avoiding short trips whenever possible.
Maintain the correct tyre pressures
Bear in mind that keeping the tyres at an ade-
quate pressure saves fuel. If the tyre pressure is just one bar (14.5 psi/100 kPa) too low, fuel
consumption can increase by as much as 5%.
Due to the gr
eater rolling resistance, under-
inflation also increases tyre wear wear and
impairs handling.
The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all year round as
they increase fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Avoid unnecessary weight
Given that every kilo of extra weight will in-
crease the fuel consumption, it is advisable to
always check the luggage compartment to
make sure that no unnecessary loads are be-
ing transported.
A roof rack is often left in place for the sake of
convenience, even when it is no longer nee-
ded. At a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) and
120 km/h (75 mph) your vehicle will use about
12% more fuel as a result of the extra wind re-
sistance caused by the roof rack even when it
is not in use.
Save electricity
The engine activates the alternator, which
produces electricity. With the need for elec-
tricity, fuel consumption also increases. Be-
cause of this, always turn off electrical devi-
ces when you do not need them. Examples of
devices that use a lot of electricity are: the fan at high speeds, the rear window heating
and the seat heaters*. Note
