FUEL TANK (1/5)
Petrol and diesel versions
Capacity of the fuel tank: 50 litres ap-
proximately.
The cap A can be unlocked with the ig-
nition key.
For details on filling the fuel tank, refer
to the information on “Filling with fuel”.
There is a cap holder 1 on the fuel filler
flap for holding the cap when the tank is
being filled.Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific to the vehicle type. If
you have to replace it, make
sure the new cap is of the
same type. Contact an approved
dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Fuel grade
Use a high-grade fuel that complies
with the legislation in force in each
country. It must conform to the specifi-
cations given on label B inside the fuel
filler flap.
Refer to the “Engine specifications”
table in Section 6.
Vehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
Always use unleaded petrol or fuel
containing a maximum of 85 percent
ethanol (E85).
In very cold conditions it may be difficult
or even impossible to start the engine.
To avoid this problem, use unleaded
petrol.
Note: you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
When the fuel is changed the engine
must adjust, which may cause minor in-
conveniences for a few minutes (longer
starting times, cutting out, etc.).
1
A
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add any additives to the fuel,
you risk damaging the engine.
Do not wash the filler
area with a high-pressure
washer.

RUNNING IN, IGNITION SWITCH
Petrol version
For the first 600 miles (1,000 km), do
not exceed 78 mph (130 km/h) in the
highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.
You may only expect top performance
from your vehicle after approximately
1,800 miles (3,000 km).
Oil change frequency: please refer to
your vehicle’s maintenance document.
Diesel version
For the first 1,000 miles (1,500 km),
do not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in
the highest gear, or 2,500 rpm. After
completing this mileage you may drive
faster, although you may only expect
top performance after approximately
3,600 miles (6,000 km).
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 your vehi-
cle.
Stop and steering lock

When the ignition is switched off, any
accessories (radio, etc.) will continue to
function.
Ignition on position M
The ignition is switched on:
– petrol version: the engine may be
started.
– diesel version: the engine is pre-
heating.
Start position D

Special note
Depending on the vehicle, accessories
(e.g. radio) stop working either when
the engine is switched off or when the
doors are locked, or when the driver’s
door is opened.
LPG versions
The engine is always started using
petrol:
– activate the starter without accelera-
ting;
– release the key as soon as the engine starts.
The system will automatically deter-
mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.
When operating on LPG, the fuel gauge
may indicate a drop in the petrol level
and the on-board computer will not
operate.
Every 3,000 miles driven using LPG,
drivers are recommended to drive for
around 3 to 6 miles in petrol mode.
To enable the system to operate
smoothly and to prevent any wear to
the vehicle’s electric petrol pump, the
petrol tank should always be around
1/4 full.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key
back to “Stop” position St.
Starting the engine
In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
When starting the engine, if the outdoor
temperature is very low (below -10°C):
hold down the clutch pedal until the
engine starts.
Petrol injection
– Activate the starter without depres-
sing the accelerator.
– Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
ÉDiesel injection
Turn the ignition key to ignition
“On” position M, and hold this position
until the preheating warning light goes
out.
Move the key to “Start” position D wi-
thout accelerating. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts.
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key or remote
control inside and never
leave a child (or a pet) un-
supervised, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely . Once the engine has
stopped, the brake servo, power as-
sisted steering and passive safety
equipment such as air bags will no
longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key
is removed.

Handbrake
To release
Pull lever 1 up slightly, press button 2
and then lower the lever to the floor.
The red warning light on the instrument
panel will come on if you are driving
with an incorrectly released handbrake.
HANDBRAKE/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
To apply
Pull lever 1 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.
Depending on the gradient
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary when station-
ary to apply the brake by
at least a further two notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear).
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

Power-assisted steering
With the engine running, do not leave
the steering wheel at full lock while sta-
tionary as this may damage the power-
assisted steering pump.
With the engine switched off, or if there
is a system fault, it is still possible to
turn the steering wheel. The force re-
quired will be greater.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/3)
ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any
way improve the vehicle’s physical per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. It is still essential to
follow the rules of good driving practice
(such as driving at a safe distance from
the vehicle in front, etc.). Operating faults:
– If the
x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while driv-
ing, braking is still operational ;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on when driving, this indicates a
fault with the braking system.
In this case, ABS, ESC and emergency
braking assist are also deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– of the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– of the electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control and
traction control ASR;
– emergency brake assist with, de- pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation;
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.
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.
However, 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 vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the
key inside and never leave a child
(or a pet) unsupervised, even for a
short while. They may pose a risk
to themselves or to others by start-
ing the engine, activating equipment
such as the electric windows or by
locking the doors. If a body part
gets trapped, reverse the direction
of travel of the window as soon as
possible by pressing the relevant
