the additive reser voir low level is indicated by:
Topping up
This additive must be topped up without
delay by a member of the dealer network or a
qualified workshop. -

Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine. .
Otherwise, have them checked by the dealer
network or a qualified workshop.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the

12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards. If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F

r
elease the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior lever,
F

r
aise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
F

l
ift the plastic cover for access to the (+)
terminal.
Starting using another battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump leads
or a battery booster.
Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.

214
Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
On vehicles fitted with Diesel engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
For all versions other than BlueHDi, refer to the
corresponding engine compartment view.For more information on Diesel misfuel
prevention , refer to the corresponding
section.
If the engine does not start first time, do
not keep trying but start the procedure
again from the beginning.
BlueHDi engines
F Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of Diesel.
F

S
witch on the ignition (without starting the
engine).
F

W
ait around 6 seconds and switch off the
ignition.
F

R
epeat the operation 10 times.
F

O
perate the starter to run the engine.
Other HDi engines
(Except BlueHDi version)
F
F
ill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
Diesel.
F

O
pen the bonnet.
F

I
f necessary, unclip the cover to access the
priming pump.
F

O
perate the priming pump repeatedly until
resistance is felt (there may be resistance at
the first press).
F

O
perate the starter to start the engine (if the
engine does not start at the first attempt,
wait around 15 seconds before trying
again).
F

I
f the engine does not start after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again
then start the engine.
F

Identification markings
Various visible markings for the identification of
your vehicle.
A. Vehicle identification number (V.I.N.),
under the bonnet.
The number is engraved on the body structure.
B. Vehicle identification number (V.I.N.), on
the dashboard.
The number is on a label, visible through the
windscreen. C. Manufacturer's label.
This tamperproof label is affixed to the driver's
door aperture.
It bears the following information:
-

t
he name of the manufacturer,
-

t
he European Whole Vehicle Type Approval
number,
-

t
he vehicle identification number (V.I.N.),
-

t
he gross vehicle weight (GV W)
-

t
he maximum authorised vehicle + trailer
weight (the Gross Train Weight or GTW),
-

t
he maximum weight on the front axle,
-

t
he maximum weight on the rear axle.
D. Tyres/paint code label.
This label is affixed to the driver's door
aperture.
It bears the following information on the tyres:
-

t
he tyre pressures, unladen and laden,
-

t
he tyre specification, made up of the
dimensions and type as well as the load and
speed indices,
-

t
he spare tyre pressure.
It also indicates the paint colour code. The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than 10
minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than around 30 mph (50 km/h), the
tyres will be warm; in this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa)
should be added to the pressures given on the
label. Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
