ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This prevents the vehicle being
driven by anyone not in possession
of the vehicle’s coded ignition key.
Operating principle
The vehicle is automatically protected
a few seconds after the ignition is
switched off.
If the vehicle does not recognise the
coded ignition key, tell-tale light will 1
flash continuously and the engine
cannot be started.
Any unauthorised work
carried out on the engine
immobiliser (computers,
wiring, etc.) could be dan-
gerous. Work must be carried out
by qualified personnel.
System operation
When the ignition is switched on, tell-
tale lights up continuously for approx-1
imately three seconds and then goes
out. The vehicle has recognised the
code. You can then start the engine.
Vehicle protection
A few seconds after the ignition has
been switched off, tell-tale light will 1
flash constantly.
The vehicle will only be protected after
the ignition has been switched off.
Operating faults
After the ignition has been switched
on, if warning light continues to flash 1
or remains continuously lit, there is a
system operating fault.
In all cases, essential it is to contact
an approved dealer as only they are
qualified to repair the engine immobi-
liser.
If the coded ignition key is faulty,
use the second key (supplied with
the vehicle).

SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
Incorrectly adjusted or
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
The seatbelt is for the use of one
person only, whether adult or child.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, adjust your driving
position and then have each occu-
pant adjust their seat belt to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
(depending on the vehicle)
– Sit well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket etc.).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head-
rest. For the maximum safety, your
head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap should be as close as 1
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.
Lap belt must be worn flat over the 2
thighs and against the pelvis. The seat
belt must be worn as close to the body
as possible. i.e.: avoid wearing heavy
clothing or keeping bulky objects under
the belts, etc.

SEAT BELTS (2/4)
To fasten
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle locks into 4
catch 6 (check that it is locked by pulling
on buckle ). If it jams, allow it to return 4
before attempting to unwind it again. If
your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.
Adjusting the front seat belt
height

SEAT BELTS (4/4)
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.
– No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings)
fitted originally. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats) contact an approved Dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around
them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as
they show any signs of wear.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-
cured.
1.16
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/3)
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (air bags, electronic con-
trol units, wiring) and the system
components must not be reused
on any other vehicle, even if iden-
tical.
– To avoid premature triggering
of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Network per-
sonnel are authorisedto work on
the methods of restraint in addi-
tion to the front seat belt.
– The electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
airbag gas generators.
Pretensioner
With the ignition switched on, if the
vehicle is subject to a significant fron-
tal impact the system may, depending
on the severity of the impact, trigger a
piston which instantly retracts the seat
belt.
The pretensioner holds the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
Load limiter
Above a certain level of impact force,
this mechanism is used to limit the force
of the belt against the body so that it is
at an acceptable level.
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
– seat belt pretensioners;
– chest-level load limiters;
– air bags for the driver and front pas-
senger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt pretensioner to hold the
occupant in the seat, and the force
limiter;
– the front air bag.
1.17
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Driver’s and passenger air
bags
These may be fitted to the front seats
on the driver and passenger side (loca-
tion ).A
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor-
ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a special warning light å;
– remote sensors.
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
An air bag may inflate immediately,
causing some minor, superficial
grazing to the skin or other discom-
fort.
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
If a severe impact occurs, the frontal
air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushion-
ing the impact of the driver’s head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers are
not impeded in any way when they get
out of the vehicle.

1.18
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/3)
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
– You must not remove the steering wheel (such work must only be performed by trained personnel from our Network).
– When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting
your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to inflate properly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard in the proximity of the air bag
housing.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In
general, all parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head etc.).
– You should reactivate the passenger air bag as soon as you remove the child seat to ensure the protection of the front pas-
senger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS
THE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE SEAT BELT, I.E. AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is deployed and also to pre-
vent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag deploys.
1.19
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Side air bags
These air bags may be fitted to the front
seats and are deployed at the sides of
the seats (door side) to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
Warnings concerning the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved dealer to find
out if such covers are available from our Network. The use of any covers
other than those designed for your vehicle (including those designed for an-
other vehicle) may affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protec-
tion.
– Do not place any accessories, objects, or even pets, between the seatback,
the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with objects such
as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating cor-
rectly or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from our Network.
1.20
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the
airbags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system.
It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are
not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the
event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries
occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always
possible with airbags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside of the
vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification may be carried out on any part of the whatsoever
driver or passenger air bag system (air bag, electronic unit, wiring, etc.), except
by qualified personnel from our Network.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental trig-
gering of the system which could cause injury, only qualified personnel from
our Network may work on the air bag system.
– As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has
been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand
over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the
gas generator(s).
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any
way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused
by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

Operating faults
Indicator light , , lights up when 1å
the ignition is switched on and goes out
after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or if it lights up when the
engine is running, it indicates a fault in
the system. In this case, fitting a child
seat in the front passenger seat is
PROHIBITED.
Contact an approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

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 fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing 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 and
ISOFIX fittings checked.
Never leave a child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is
always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid
wearing bulky clothing which could
cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or
arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey, espe-
cially if asleep.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the childproof
locks (refer to the informa-
tion on “Locking/unlocking
the doors” in Section 1).
1.22
CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)
Using a child seat
The level of protection offered by the
child seat depends on its ability to re-
strain your child and on its installation.
Incorrect installation compromises the
protection it offers the child in the event
of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check
that it complies with the regulations for
the country you are in and that it can
be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-
proved dealer to find out which seats
are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the
manual and respect its instructions. If
you experience any difficulties during
installation, contact the manufacturer
of the equipment. Keep the instructions
with the seat.
Set a good example by always fas-
tening your seat belt and teaching
your child:
– to strap themselves in correctly;
– to always get in and out of the car
at the kerb, away from busy traf-
fic.
Do not use a second-hand child
seat or one without an instruction
manual.
Check that there are no objects in
the vicinity of the child seat which
could impede its operation.
Never leave a child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is
always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid
wearing bulky clothing which could
cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or
arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey, espe-
cially if asleep.
1.23
Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can
travel using a booster seat, which will
enable the seat belt to be adapted
to suit his/her size and shape. The
booster seat cushion must be fitted with
guides to position the seat belt on the
child’s thighs rather than the stomach.
It is recommended that you use a seat-
back fitted with a belt strap guide which
can be adjusted in terms of height to
position the seat belt in the centre of
the shoulder. It should never rest on the
neck or over the arm. Choose a bucket
type seat for better side protection.
Forward-facing child seats
The child’s head and abdomen need to
be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-
ing child seat which is firmly attached to
the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact
to the head. Transport your child in a
forward-facing seat with a safety har-
ness or guard depending on the child’s
size. Choose a bucket type seat for
better side protection.
Rear-facing child seats
A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier
than that of an adult and its neck is very
fragile. Transport the child in this po-
sition for as long as possible (until the
age of 2 at the very least). It supports
the head and neck. Choose a bucket
type seat for better side protection and
replace it as soon as the child’s head
extends past the seat shell.
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat
1.24
CHILD SAFETY: mounting a child seat (1/2)
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated
by the child seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window.
Attachment with the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-
proved in accordance with regulation
ECE-R44 in one of the three following
cases:
– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward-
facing seat;
– ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat;
– specific.
For the latter two, check that your child
seat can be installed by consulting the
list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system is composed of
2 rings for each rear side seat.
Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur-
chased for another vehicle,
check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of ve-
hicles which can be fitted with the
seat from the equipment manufac-
turer.
No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
(seat belts, ISOFIX, seats
and their mountings) originally fitted.
The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.
Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base
of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.
1.25
The third ring of each side seat is used
to attach the upper strap on some child
seats.
Pass the belt between the seatback
and the luggage compartment cover.
The rings ISOFIX are located be-1
tween the seatback and the seat base
and are clearly visible.
To ensure your child seat can be easily
fitted and locked on rings , use access 1
guides on the child seat.2
The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child
seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat
belt or other objects to these anchorage points.
Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage
points checked and replace your child seat.
CHILD SAFETY: mounting a child seat (2/2)
It is essential to use the lug-
gage compartment anchor-
age points or to attach 3 4
the upper belt of the child
seat.
It is forbidden to use other mounting
points to attach this strap.
Attach the hook on the belt to one of the
rings (4x2 version) or (4x4 version).3 4
Pull the belt so that the back of the child
seat comes into contact with the vehicle
seatback.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/6)
In the front seat
The laws concerning children travel-
ling in the front passenger seat differ in
every country. Consult the legislation in
force and follow the indications on the
diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if
authorised):
– deactivate the front passenger air
bag;
– lower the seat belt as far as possible;
– move the seat as far back as possi-
ble;
– gently tilt the seatback away from
vertical (approximately 25°).
Do not change these settings after the
child seat is installed.
RISK OF DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY: before
fitting a child seat in this
seat, check that the air bag
has been deactivated (refer to the in-
formation on “Deactivating the front
passenger air bag” in Section 1).
Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagram on the follow-
ing page shows you how to attach a
child seat.
The types of child seats indicated may
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing
the child seat in the vehicle
it is not at risk of coming loose from
its base.
If you have to remove the headrest,
check that it is correctly stored so
that it does not come loose under
harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the
vehicle even if it is not in use so that
it does not come loose under harsh
braking or impact.
1.27
Rear centre seat
A child seat may only be fitted in this
seat if it is equipped with an inertia-reel
belt. For any additional information,
contact an approved dealer.
CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (2/6)
For the safety of the child in the for-
ward-facing seat, do not move the seat
in front back past the middle of the
runner, do not tilt the seatback too far
(maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as
much as possible.
Check that the forward-facing child seat
is resting against the back of the vehi-
cle seat and that the headrest of the ve-
hicle is not obstructing its use.
In the rear side seat
A carrycot can be installed across the
vehicle and will take up at least two
seats. Position the child with his or her
feet nearest the door.
Before installing a child seat in the
ISOFIX anchoring points on a rear side
seat, check that the seat belt buckles
are not placed between the two ISOFIX
anchorage points in this seat. If neces-
sary, move the buckle for the seat con-
cerned towards the centre of the vehi-
cle.
Move the front seat as far forward as
possible to install a rear-facing child
seat, then move back the seat in front
as far as it will go, although without al-
lowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.
Make sure that the child
seat or the child’s feet do
not prevent the front seat
from locking correctly.
Please refer to the information on
the “Front seat” in Section 1.

The values showing average fuel con-
sumption, range and average speed
will become more stable and reliable
the further you travel after pressing the
reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing the
reset key you will notice that the range
increases as you travel. This range
takes into account the average fuel con-
sumption since the last time the reset
button was pressed. Therefore, the fuel
consumption may decrease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating,
– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (engine cold when
reset button pressed),
– when driving from a built-up area
onto the open road.
Therefore, if the average fuel con-
sumption decreases, the range
will increase.
The information display DEPENDS ON THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT AND COUNTRY.
– You may also notice that the aver-
age fuel consumption increases
when the vehicle is stationary and
the engine idling.

FUEL TANK (2/3)
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 very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine.
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.).
Fuel grade
Always use a high-grade fuel that
complies with the legislation in force
in each country. It must conform to the
specifications given on label inside C
the fuel filler flap.
Refer to the “Engine specifications”
table in Section 6.
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must conform
to the specifications given on the label
inside fuel filler flap .C
Diesel versions
It is essential to use diesel fuel that con-
forms to the specifications given on the
label inside fuel flap .C
Filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle to open valve and A
insert it before turning it on to fill fully
the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The valve and its A
surround must remain clean.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
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 additive to the fuel other-
wise you risk damaging the engine.
1.62
Persistent smell of fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon
as traffic conditions allow and
switch off the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
No modifications what-
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (computers, wiring,
fuel circuit, injector, protection
covers, etc.) as this may be danger-
ous (such work must be undertaken
by qualified Network personnel).
Priming bulb
(diesel version)
After a breakdown caused by com-
pletely running out of fuel, the system
must be reprimed before the engine is
restarted:
Note: the bulb is always located on the
right-hand side of the engine compart-
ment.
Work bulb until the fuel runs into 2
pipe .1
If the engine does not start after several
attempts, contact an approved dealer.
The engine may be hot
when working in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine
cooling fan may come on at
any moment.
Risk of injury.

the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehicle with the key or remote control inside and never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child may endanger himself or others by starting the engine, activating equipment 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 assisted steering and passive safety equipment such as air bags will no longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key is removed.
2.4
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using oil or fuel additives which are
not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of
fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle.
If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by reg-
ularly taking your vehicle to your ap-
proved dealer at the intervals speci-
fied in your Maintenance Service
Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter, keep trying to start the do not
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.
2.5
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the Ä Ò and warning lights
come on, consult an approved dealer
as soon as possible.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “Fuel tank” in Section 1 before
restarting the engine.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully
charged;
– always keep the diesel tank rela-
tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.
2.6
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle conforms to current antipol-
lution regulations. The manufacturer
is actively striving to reduce pollutant
exhaust gas emissions and to save
energy. But the fuel consumption of
your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main-
tained and used correctly.
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect
antipollution regulations may lead to
legal action being taken against the
vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu-
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
standards. Have your vehicle adjusted
and checked by an authorised dealer,
in accordance with the instructions
given in your maintenance schedule:
they will have all the equipment nec-
essary for ensuring that your vehicle is
maintained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
Air filter, diesel filter: a choked ele-
ment hinders performance. It must be
replaced.
Exhaust gas monitoring system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
2.7
Driving
– Drive carefully for the first few miles
until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears. Always use the
highest gear possible without labour-
ing the engine.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position .D
Your vehicle has a greater
ground clearance than an
ordinary passenger vehicle.
This gives it a higher centre
of gravity, making it more suscepti-
ble to rolling during sudden or ag-
gressive manoeuvres, or when cor-
nering at high speeds.
Take extra care when the vehicle is
loaded (in particular when the load
is on the roof).
Ensure that all passengers are
wearing their seat belts.
A label affixed to the sun visor re-
minds you of this.
Vehicles with 4x4 (4WD) trans-
mission
On flat, level ground, with the vehi-
cle unladen, you are recommended
to start in second gear.
Driving problems
On the driver’s side, only
use mats specially adapted
for the vehicle and attached
to prefitted devices. Check regularly
to make sure they are secure. Do
not overlay several mats.
Risk of pedals jamming.
2.8
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
– 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.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– 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.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. (safety However
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%.
– Avoid using the vehicle for door-to-
door journeys (short journeys, with
long stops in-between) because in
these conditions, the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be
the result of:
– insufficient pressure,
– using non-recommended tyres.
2.9
ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)
while in use, and therefore to consume
less fuel (e.g. 140 g/km, equivalent to
5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a cata-
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre-
vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too.
– Worn parts replaced in the course
of routine vehicle maintenance (bat-
tery, oil filter, air filter, batteries, etc.)
and oil containers (empty or filled
with used oil) must be disposed of
through specialist organisations.
– At the end of the vehicle’s service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis-
lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the
Dacia eco² group signature.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
an industrial site which uses a progress
policy to reduce environmental impacts
on rivers and natural areas (reduc-
tion of water and energy consumption,
visual and noise pollution, atmospheric
emissions and waste water, sorting and
reusing waste).
2.10
GEAR LEVER, HANDBRAKE
To select reverse gear
(vehicle stationary)
Follow the grid shown on knob .1
The reversing light will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected (igni-
tion on).
An impact to the underside of the vehicle (eg. striking a post, raised kerb
or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (eg. defor-
mation of an axle).
To prevent any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved dealer.
Handbrake
To release
Pull lever up slightly, press button 2 3
and then lower the lever to the floor.
To apply
Pull lever 2 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.
When the vehicle is
stopped, depending on the
gradient and/or the vehicle
load, it may be necessary to
apply the handbrake by at least two
further notches and engage a gear
(1st or reverse).
When driving, make sure
the handbrake is com-
pletely released.
Risk of overheating.

4x2 (2WD) and 4x4 (4WD)
mode selector
Depending on the road conditions,
turning selector enables the following 1
modes to be selected:
– 2WD ;
– AUTO ;
– 4WD Lock.
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (1/4)
“AUTO" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector 1 to
the “ ” position. AUTO
Operating principle
“AUTO” mode automatically distributes
the engine torque between the front and
rear axles according to the road condi-
tions and the vehicle speed. This po-
sition optimises roadholding. Use this
mode on any type of road (dry, snow-
covered, slippery, etc.) or when towing
(trailer or caravan). This mode is not in-
dicated on the instrument panel.
“2WD" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector to 1
the “2WD" position. The ‘ indica-
tor light will light up on the instrument
panel.
Operating principle
The “2WD” mode uses the front wheels
only. Use this mode on dry roads with
good grip.
Remember that driving a vehicle off-
road is very different to driving it on
the road.
To make the most of your vehicle
in an off-road situation, we recom-
mend that you are trained to drive a
4x4 (4WD) vehicle.
The safety of both you and your
passengers is your responsibility,
and depends on your skill and the
care you take when driving off-road.
1
2.12
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (2/4)
This problem may be resolved by
changing the tyres. Always use four
identical tyres (same brand, profile,
etc.) and with similar wear.
In the event of excessive wheelspin,
the mechanical components may be
overheating.
If this happens:
– at first, the warning light ’
flashes. “4WD Lock” mode is still
active, however we recommend that
you stop as soon as possible to allow
the system to cool down (until the
warning light stops flashing);
– if the wheels still spin, the system au-
tomatically switches to “2WD” mode
to protect the mechanical compo-
nents.
The ‘ warning light flashes. The
mode cannot be changed while the
light is flashing.
After one minute, the system switches
to “2WD” or “AUTO” mode depending
on the position of the selector.
Note: if the vehicle speed exceeds
36 mph (60 km/h) in 4WD Lock mode,
the system automatically switches back
to AUTO mode. The ’ indicator
light goes out.
Special features of the
4-wheel drive transmission
The vehicle may make more noise when
the “AUTO" or "4WD Lock" modes are
activated. This is normal. If the system
detects a difference in the dimensions
of the front and rear wheels (eg. un-
derinflation, severe wear on an axle),
the system automatically switches to
"2WD" mode.
The ‘ and warning lights on Ò
the instrument panel come on. Drive as
soon as possible at a moderate speed
to an approved dealer.
To deactivate this mode, turn selector 1
to the “AUTO” position. The
‘ indi-
cator light on the instrument panel goes
out.
“4WD Lock" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector to 1
the “4WD Lock” position. The selector
the returns to the “AUTO” position. The
’ indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
Operating principle
“4WD Lock” mode distributes the
engine torque between the front and
rear axles in order to optimise the per-
formance capacity of the vehicle in off-
road situations. This mode should only
be used in extreme driving conditions
(mud, steep slopes, sand).
To deactivate this mode, turn selector 1
to the “4WD Lock” position again. The
indicator light on the instrument panel
goes out. When the engine is switched
off, the system stays in “4WD Lock”
mode for one minute.
2.13
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off-
road
(vehicles equipped with ESP)
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESP function by
pressing the “ESP” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel brak-
ing remains active. This function ap-
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-
ping, allowing the engine torque to be
transferred to the wheels with the most
grip. This is particularly useful when
crossing a bridge.
All the ESP functions will be reactivated
when the vehicle speed reaches ap-
proximately 30 mph (50 km/h), (36 mph
(60 km/h) in “4WD Lock” mode), or
when the engine is restarted, or when
the “ESP” button is pressed again.
Operating faults
If the system detects an operating
fault, it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode, and the and warn-‘ Ò
ing lights come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a moder-
ate speed to an approved dealer.
For certain operating faults, the system
may not be able to switch to “2WD" or
"4WD Lock" mode. "AUTO" mode re-
mains active.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
In this case, we recommend that you
stop as soon as possible to allow the
system to cool down (until the warning
light stops flashing).
Cooling may take up to five minutes.
If the system detects excessive wheel-
spin on the front wheels, it adapts the
engine to run in a way that reduces
wheelspin.
Anti-lock braking in “ ” mode LOCK
(vehicles equipped with )ABS
When “4WD Lock" mode is active, the
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this
case, the wheels may lock intermit-
tently to achieve better grip, thus reduc-
ing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is lim-
ited during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
– there may be some noise. This is
normal, and does not indicate an op-
erating fault.
2.14
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (4/4)
All-wheel drive system
– Irrespective of the mode selected, do not start the engine if one or more wheels are not in contact with the ground
(eg. when the vehicle is on a jack or roller bench).
– Do not turn the mode selector when cornering, reversing or if the wheels are spinning excessively. Only select the
“2WD”, “AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a straight line.
– Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
– “4WD Lock” mode is reserved solely for use off-road. The use of this mode in any other conditions may adversely affect the
vehicle’s manoeuvrability and damage its mechanical components.
– Always ensure tyres with identical specifications are fitted to all four wheels (brand, size, structure, wear etc.). Fitting tyres
of different sizes to the front and rear wheels and/or left and right wheels may have serious consequences for the tyres,
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.
2.15
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 vehicle can
be steered to avoid an obstacle whilst
braking. In addition, this system can
increase stopping distances, particu-
larly 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 perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. 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.).
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– the emergency brake assist;
– the ESP (electronic stability pro-
gram) with understeer control and
traction control ASR.
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).
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.
Special feature of 4-wheel drive ve-
hicles
In 4WD Lock mode, the system may
lock the wheels briefly to optimise the
braking distance on very wet ground
(snow, mud, sand, etc.).
2.16
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (2/4)
Emergency brake assist with
electronic brake distribution
(depending on the vehicle)
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Operating faults
– If the x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while you
are driving, the brakes will still
work normally without ABS;
– If the x D and warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on while you are driving, there is a
fault in the braking system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
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.
2.17
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (3/4)
Electronic stability program
ESP with understeer control
and traction control ASR
Electronic Stability Program ESP
(depending on the vehicle)
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders-
teering (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control ASR
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Deactivating the function
Deactivating the ASR traction control
function also deactivates the ESP func-
tion (refer to the following page).
1
Special feature of 4-wheel
drive and 2-wheel drive
vehicles (depending on the
vehicle)
Disabling the ESP function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch .1
The ù warning light on the instru-
ment panel comes on to warn you of
this.
If you deactivate this function, the ASR
traction control function will also be de-
activated.
As the ’ESP and ASR provide en-
hanced safety, it is not advisable to
drive with the function switched off.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch again.1
2.18
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (4/4)
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, warning lights Ò ù and
light up on the instrument panel. In this
case, the ESP and ASR are deacti-
vated.
Please consult an authorised dealer if
these warning lights remain displayed
on the instrument panel after the igni-
tion is switched off and on again.
Note: the function is automatically re-
activated when the ignition is switched
on, or when the speed exceeds 30 mph
(50 km/h) in AUTO and 2WD modes,
and approximately 36 mph (60 km/h) in
4WD Lock mode.
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
ù flashes on the instrument panel.

gear engaged in manual mode.
Operation
With the gear lever in position or , P N
switch on the ignition.
With your foot on the brake pedal, move
the lever out of position .P
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re-
leased.
You must apply the brake before
pressing the unlocking button to 2
move out of position P.
Driving in automatic mode
Move lever to position .1 D
In the majority of traffic conditions, you
will not have to touch the gear selector
lever again: the gear will be changed
automatically at the right time and at
the most suitable engine speed be-
cause the automatic system takes into
account the vehicle load and road con-
tour and adjusts itself to the particular
driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi-
tion , keeping the accelerator pedal D
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
With selector lever in position , 1 D
move the lever to the left.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– to move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special circumstances
– if you are driving Snow position:
on ground where there is a risk of
skidding (snow, mud, etc.), press

come on.
Once these special driving con-
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 5
again. Warning light goes out. 6
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.: to
protect the engine) the “automated
system” may change the gear automat-
ically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
– If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain-
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– , start the engine In cold weather
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion or and engaging it in or P N D R
to prevent the engine stalling.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel-
spin when accelerating.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position while keeping your P
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
Operating faults
If a vehicle with an automatic gear-
box breaks down, please refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P when you are pressing the
brake pedal, the lever can be released
manually. To do this, unclip the base of
the lever, and press recess and the 7
unlocking button simultaneously.2
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING (3/4)
Switching passenger
compartment isolation mode/
air recirculation mode on
Push control to the left.D
Under these conditions, air is taken
from the passenger compartment and
is recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle.
Air recirculation is used to:
– isolate the passenger compartment
from the external atmosphere (eg.:
driving in polluted areas, etc.);
– bring the passenger compartment to
the desired temperature more effec-
tively.
To return to the external air position,
push control to the right.D
Prolonged use of this position
can lead to condensation forming
on the side windows and wind-
screen and problems due to the
use of non-renewed air in the
passenger compartment.
It is therefore advisable to return to
normal operation (external air) by
moving control to the right once D
you are out of the polluted area.

ning for 12 minutes (the indicator
light goes out);
– by pressing button again (the E
warning light goes out).
CEF
Before using the rear wiper, check that no object is obstructing the travel of the
blade.
In frosty weather, make sure that the wiper blades are not stuck by ice (to avoid
the risk of the motor overheating).
Keep an eye on the condition of the blades. Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to lose efficiency (approximately once a year).
Regularly clean your rear screen.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air condition-
ing with no automatic mode, switch
off the system when it is not re-
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the envi-
ronment
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.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist-
ing or air conditioning per-
formance.
This may be caused by the pas-
senger compartment filter car-
tridge becoming clogged.
– .No cold air is being produced
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Presence of water under the ve-
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.

4.4
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is sometimes necessary to top up
the level between oil changes.
However, contact an approved dealer if
more than 0.5 litres is being consumed
every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the
running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time before-
hand to obtain an accurate reading.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
Reading the oil level
– remove the dipstick and wipe with a
clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will
go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick , screw the cap in as C
far as it will go);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark or exceed A
maximum mark .B
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that the
cap-type dipstick is completely screwed
in.
Under no circumstances
must maximum fill level
A be exceeded: risk of
damage to the engine and
catalytic converter.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Exceeding the maximum engine
oil level
The oil level should only be read with
the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved dealer.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (1/2)
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
– Unscrew cap ;1
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-
pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on dipstick is 2
between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending
on the engine);
– wait approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
Do not exceed the level and MAX
do not forget to refit dipstick and 2
cap .1
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.

are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
If there is an abnormal or repeated
drop in the fluid level, please consult
an authorised dealer.
Resetting the alert after an oil
change
(depending on the vehicle)
If you change the oil yourself, you will

To do this, after switching on the igni-
tion, for ten seconds you must:
– Depress the accelerator pedal fully,
– with your foot on the accelerator, de-
press the brake pedal three times in
succession.
Reinitialisation is complete when the
# indicator light goes out. If this is
not the case, repeat the operation.
Special case: if you change the oil
before the oil change interval exceeded
warning is displayed, it will also be nec-
essary to reset the display. In this case,
the # warning light comes on for
approximately 5 seconds to confirm the
reset.

BATTERY
Battery does not require any mainte-1
nance.
As the battery is specific to
your vehicle, ensure that
you replace it with a battery
to which a degassing pipe
can be connected.
Consult an approved dealer.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water and consult a
doctor, if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
Label A
Observe the indications on the battery:
– Naked flames and smoking forbid-2
den;
– Wear eye protection;3
– Keep away from children;4
– Explosive substances;5
– Refer to the handbook;6
– Corrosive substances.7
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
start at any moment.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE, ENGINE COMPARTMENT (2/3)
You should
– Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
– Always follow the recommenda-
tions supplied with the high-pressure
cleaning equipment (jet distance and
pressure).
– Before going through a roller type
car wash, return the windscreen
wiper stalk to park position (refer
to the information on “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1), check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights and door mirrors
and be sure to hold the wiper blades
and radio aerial in place with adhe-
sive tape. Remove the radio aerial
mast if your vehicle is fitted with this
equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing.
– After driving off-road (eg. on muddy,
dusty or sandy terrain) quickly clean
the radiator of the from the outside
vehicle through the openings in the
bumper, to prevent it from becoming
blocked or clogged (risk of engine
overheating).
– Wash your vehicle frequently with
the , using shampoo ap-engine off
proved by our Technical Department
(never use abrasive products) and
rinse thoroughly using a warm or
cold water jet (never hot):
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– the layer of dust or mud and any
insects;
– bird droppings, which contain
chemicals that rapidly discolour
paintwork and may even cause
the paint to peel off;
Wash the vehicle to immediately
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol-
ishing;
– salt deposited in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after
driving in areas where the roads
are chemically treated;
– mud in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which form
damp patches.
– Clean mud and sand from the
wheels, in particular the inside of the
wheels and the brakes, as this can:
– reduce the braking efficiency and
damage the components of the
braking system;
– cause vibrations in the bodywork
and steering column.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.

BODyWORK MAINTENANCE, ENGINE COMPARTMENT (3/3)
– After cleaning your vehicle, check
the brakes while driving at low speed
to ensure that the braking efficiency
has not been reduced by the water.
If it has, depress the brake pedal
gently while driving to dry the brakes.
– Check the drain holes at the bottom
of the doors to make sure they are
not blocked.
– Inspect the wheels regularly to check
for any traces of impacts or corro-
sion. These can damage the tyre or
cause it to lose pressure.
– Keep well away from the vehicle in
front when driving on gravelled sur-
faces to prevent paint damage.
– Repair, or have repaired quickly,
patches where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading.
– Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
anticorrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
– Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products approved
by the Technical Department to
protect them after they have been
cleaned.

Glass instrument panel
(e.g.: instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display).
Use a soft or cotton cloth. If this does
not clean them properly, use a soft cloth
(or cotton wool) slightly moistened with
soapy water and then wipe clean with
another damp soft or cotton cloth.
Finally, dry off with a soft dry carefully
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean. Use products
selected by our Technical Department
or warm, soapy water and a sponge
and wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will have a
longer service life. It is therefore ad-
visable to maintain the vehicle interior
regularly.
Stains should always be dealt with
quickly. Whatever type of stain is on
the trim, use (if possible, soapy water
warm water) containing:
Do not use detergents (washing up
liquid, powdered products, alcohol-
based products, etc.).
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
Fabrics (seats, door trim,
etc.)
Dust fabrics .regularly
Liquid stains
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or thick stains
Remove any excess solid or thick ma-
terial and carefully using immediately
a spatula (from the edge inwards to
avoid spreading the stain).
Clean using the procedure for a liquid
stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
For advice on interior maintenance
and/or on unsatisfactory results,
contact an approved dealer.
4.17
Removing/refitting factory
fitted removable equipment
in the vehicle
If you need to remove equipment to
clean the passenger compartment (e.g.
mats), always make you refit it properly
and on the correct side (driver’s side
mats must be fitted on the driver’s side,
etc.), using retaining components sup-
plied with the equipment (e.g. the driv-
er’s side mat must always be secured
using prefitted retaining devices).
In all cases, with the vehicle stationary,
ensure that nothing can hinder driving
(obstacle underneath the pedals, heel
trapped by the mat, etc.).
What you should not do
You are strongly advised not to place
items such as air fresheners, perfume
etc. near the air vents as these could
damage the dashboard fittings.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)
You are strongly recom-
mended not to use high-
pressure or spray cleaning
equipment inside the pas-
senger compartment: this equip-
ment could impair the correct func-
tioning of the electrical or electronic
components in the vehicle, or have
other detrimental effects.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (1/3)
The kit repairs tyres with
tread damaged by ob-A
jects smaller than mm. It 4
cannot repair all types of
puncture, such as cuts of more than
4 mm, or cuts in tyre sidewall etc.B
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in
good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body
causing the puncture if it is still in
the tyre.
Do not attempt to use the
inflation kit if the tyre has
been damaged as a result
of driving with a puncture.
You should therefore carefully check
the condition of the tyre sidewalls
before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or
punctured tyres can be dangerous
and may make the tyre impossible
to repair.
This repair is temporary
A tyre which has been punctured
should always be inspected (and re-
paired, where possible) as soon as
possible by a specialist.
When replacing a tyre repaired with
this kit, you must consult a special-
ist. When driving, vibration may be
felt due to the presence of the repair
product injected into the tyre.
The kit is only approved for
inflating the tyres of the ve-
hicle originally equipped
with the kit.
It must never be used to inflate
the tyres of another vehicle, or any
other inflatable object (rubber ring,
rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when han-
dling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-
lets do leak out, rinse them off with
plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil-
dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle
in the countryside. Return it to your
approved dealer or to a recycling or-
ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service
life which is indicated on its label.
Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to re-
place the inflation tube and repair
product bottle.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located on the
left side of the luggage compartment on
4x2 versions or in the in the emergency
spare wheel tray under the luggage
compartment carpet on 4x4 versions.
– press switch to inflate the tyre to 5
the recommended pressure (check
the label affixed to the edge of the
driver’s door);
– after a maximum of minutes, stop 5
inflating and read the pressure (on
the pressure gauge );4
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), pres-
sure gauge will briefly indicate a 4
pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure
will drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase
it, continue inflating with the kit, to
reduce it, turn button located on 7
the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the vehi-
cle but contact an approved dealer.
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
Open the kit, remove caps and (it is 1 3
essential not to remove the cap from
the bottle) then screw bottle to its 2
base .3
With the engine running and the
handbrake applied,
– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel
concerned and screw the inflation
adapter onto valve;6
– connect adapter 8 to accessories
socket on the dashboard of the ve-9
hicle;

TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/3)
Once the tyre is inflated correctly:
– stop using the kit;
– close the integrated cap on the bottle
again;
– disconnect adapter ;8
– affix driving recommendation
label to the dashboard where it 10
can easily be seen by the driver;
– store the kit;
– after the first inflation procedure the
tyre will still be leaking; it is vital to
drive in order to plug the hole;
– start immediately and drive at be-
tween 12 and 36 mph (20 and
60 km/h) to distribute the product
evenly throughout the tyre, stopping
after a distance of 2 miles (3 kilome-
tres) to check the pressure;
– if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it; otherwise, please contact an
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be
repaired.
Note: after using the inflation kit, you
should visit an approved dealer to re-
place the inflation hose and the bottle
of repair product.
Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Important: a missing or
loose valve cap may com-
promise the tyre seal and
cause a loss of pressure.
Always use valve caps which are
identical to the originals and fully
tightened.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
tyre pressure kit will need to be re-
placed.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.

Park the vehicle away from
traffic on firm, flat, non-slip-
pery ground (if necessary, place a
solid support under the jack base).
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse gear).
Ask the passengers to leave the ve-
hicle and to keep away from traffic.
If you have a puncture, re-
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.
Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim,
refer to the information on “Wheel trims
- Wheels” in this Section. Undo the
wheel bolts using wheelbrace . Fit it 4
so that you press downwards rather
than pulling upwards.
Mark hole , which is the nearest to 1
the wheel in question. The jack must
be fitted in this location. Offer up jack 3
horizontally and position jack head 2
under the sill.
Start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts
off the ground.
Remove the bolts.
Take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on
the central hub and turn it to align the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.

TYRES (1/3)
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road traffic regulations.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your approved
dealer.
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have wear warning strips 1
which are indicators moulded into
the tread at several points.
When the tyre tread has been worn
to the level of the warning strips, they
become visible then2: it is neces-
sary to replace your tyres because the
tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep
at most, resulting in poor road hold-
ing on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys
by motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on poorly
surfaced minor roads will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry. If such
incidents occur, have the condition
of these parts checked by an ap-
proved dealer.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and
“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding;
– risk of blowouts or throwing a
tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the
load and speed of use; adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– it may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
– It may change the way it handles
when cornering;
– It may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– it may affect the use of snow
chains.
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make
the tyres less airtight and may lead to pressure loss. Always use valve
caps of the same type as the originals and tighten them fully.
Fitting new tyres
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are , assume an in-cold
crease of to bar.0.2 0.3
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.
Your vehicle is equipped with large

BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour-
tesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnect-
ing the battery;
– when charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery;
– to avoid creating a short circuit be-
tween the terminals, do not place
metal objects on the battery;
– always wait at least one minute after
the engine has been switched off
before disconnecting a battery;
– make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water and consult a
doctor, if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car-
rying out operations in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of serious injury.
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
batteries. Contact your ap-
proved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may
cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well-venti-
lated area.
Risk of serious injury.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com-
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer of
the battery charger you are using.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected to
the + after ignition feed.
5.29
BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/2)
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-
other vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you al-
ready have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply-
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed.
Connect the positive (+) lead to (+) A
terminal of the discharged battery, 1
then to (+) terminal of the battery sup-2
plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead to (–) B
terminal of the battery supplying the 3
current and then to (–) terminal of the 4
discharged battery.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it is running, disconnect leads and A B
in the reverse order (---)4321
Check that there is no con-
tact between leads and A B
and that the positive lead A
is not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the
vehicle.
