Always wear your seat belt when trav-elling in your vehicle. You must alsocomply with the legislation of the par-ticular country you are in.

Make sure that the rear seats arelocked in position properly so thatthe rear seat belts will operate effi-ciently. Refer to information on “Rearseats: functions” and “Adjusting therear seats” in section 3.

Seat belts which are incor-rectly adjusted or twistedmay cause injuries in theevent of an accident.

Use one seat belt perperson, whether child or adult.

Even pregnant women should weara seat belt. In this case, ensure that

the lap belt is not exerting too muchpressure on the abdomen, but donot allow any slack.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-ing position, then ask all occupantsto adjust their seat belt to ensure op-timum protection.

Adjusting your driving

position – Sit well back in your seat (havingfirst removed your coat or jacket).This is essential to ensure your backis positioned correctly;

– adjust the distance between theseat and the pedals. Your seatshould be as far back as possiblewhile still allowing you to depressthe clutch pedal fully. The seatback

should be adjusted so that your armsare slightly bent when you hold thesteering wheel;

– adjust the position of the steeringwheel;

– adjust the position of your head-rest. For the maximum safety, yourhead must be as close as possible tothe headrest;

– adjust the height of the seat. This

adjustment allows you to select theseat position which offers you thebest possible view.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against theseatback.

Shoulder strap 1 should be as close aspossible to the base of the neck but noton it.

Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over thethighs and against the pelvis.

The belt should be worn so that it is

as close as possible to your body, ie.:avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

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 looselymay 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 aroundthem.

– 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 asthey show any signs of wear.

– When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be usedproperly.

– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)



1.24

1 2

Depending on the vehicle, they arecomposed of: – seat belt inertia reel pretension-

ers;

– lap belt pretensioners;

– chest-level load limiter;

– air bags for driver and front pas-senger.

These systems are designed to actindependently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact,the system can trigger:

– seat belt locking;

– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner(which engages to correct seat beltslack);

– the low volume front air bag;

– the lap belt pretensioners to hold theoccupant in his seat;

– the large volume front air bag.

Pretensioners

The pretensioners hold the seat beltagainst the body, holding the occupantmore securely against the seat, thus in-creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.

In the event of a severe frontal impactand if the ignition is switched on, thesystem may engage the following de-pending on the force of the impact:

– the seat belt inertia reel preten-sioner 1 which instantly retracts theseat belt;

– the lap pretensioner 2 on the frontseats.

– Have the entire restraintsystem checked followingan accident.

– No operation whatso-ever is permitted on any part ofthe system (pretensioners, air

bags, computers, wiring) and thesystem components must notbe reused on any other vehicle,even if identical.

– To avoid incorrect triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified personnelfrom an approved Dealer maywork on the pretensioner and airbag system.

– The electric trigger system mayonly be tested by a speciallytrained technician using specialequipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,contact an approved Dealer fordisposal of the pretensioner andair bag gas generators.




1.25

Load limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, thismechanism is used to limit the force ofthe belt against the body so that it is atan acceptable level.

Air bags for driver and frontpassenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side.

The presence of this equipment is indi-cated by the word “air bag” on the steer-ing wheel and the dashboard (air bag

zone A) and a label on the lower part ofthe windscreen or on the sun visor.

Each air bag system consists of:

– an air bag and gas generator fittedon the steering wheel for the driverand in the dashboard for the frontpassenger;

– an electronic unit for system monitor-ing which controls the gas generatorelectrical trigger system;

– remote sensors;

– a single warning lightå on theinstrument panel.

The air bag system usespyrotechnic principles. Thisexplains why, when the airbag inflates, it will gener-

ate heat, produce smoke (this doesnot mean that a fire is about to start)

and make a noise upon detonation.In a situation where an air bag isrequired, it will inflate immediatelyand this may cause some minor, su-perficial grazing to the skin or otherproblems.

A




1.26

Operation

This system is only operational whenthe ignition is switched on.

In a severe frontal impact, the air bagsinflate rapidly, cushioning the impactof the driver’s head and chest againstthe steering wheel and of the front pas-senger against the dashboard. The airbags then deflate immediately so thatthe passengers are not in any way hin-

dered from leaving the vehicle.

Special feature of the front air

bag After a violent impact, it has two deploy-ment volumes and integrates a ventila-tion system:

– low volume air bag, this is the firststage of operation;

– large volume air bag, the air bagseams rip so that a larger volume ofgas is released into the bag (for themost severe impacts).


All f th i b l i th t th i b i t b t t d i h it i i fl t d d l t t



1.27

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 preventthe risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

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.

– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified 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 “Adjustingyour driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly 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 on or near the air bag.

– 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. Ingeneral, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).

– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensurethe protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESSTHE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(refer to Section 1 “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag”)

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS

Depending on the vehicle and the posi Force limiter



1.28

Depending on the vehicle and the posi-tion of the seats, these may comprise:

– seat belt pretensioners built intothe inertia reels;

– force limiter.

These systems are designed to act

independently or together when thevehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.

There are two possibilities, dependingon the force of the impact:

– protection is provided by the seatbelt only;

– the pretensioner is triggered to rec-tify seat belt slack.

Rear seat belt pretensioners

This system is only operational whenthe ignition is switched on.

If the vehicle is subjected to a severefrontal impact, a device retracts theseat belt, pulling the seat belt tightagainst the body and thus improving itseffectiveness.

Force limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, thismechanism is used to limit the force ofthe belt against the body so that it is atan acceptable level.

– Have the entire restraintsystem checked followingan accident.

– No operat ion whatso-ever is permitted on any part ofthe system (pretensioners, air

bags, computers, wiring) and thesystem components must notbe reused on any other vehicle,even if identical.

– To avoid incorrect triggering ofthe system which may causeinjury, only qualified personnelfrom an approved Dealer maywork on the pretensioner and airbag system.

– The electric trigger system mayonly be tested by a speciallytrained technician using specialequipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,contact an approved Dealer fordisposal of the pretensioner andair bag gas generators.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side air bags



1.29

Warning concerning the side air bag

– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers spe-cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to findout if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those

designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) mayaffect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.

– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, thedoor and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as

clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctlyor cause injury when the air bag is deployed.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internalfittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

Side air bags

These air bags are fitted to the frontseats and are activated at the sides ofthe seats (door side) to protect the oc-cupants in the event of a severe sideimpact.

Curtain air bags

These are air bags fitted along the sidesof the vehicle in the ceiling which triggeralong the front and rear side windowsto protect the passengers in case of asevere side impact.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any Operating faults



1.30

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both theair bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system.It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are notworn, 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 occurringwhen the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possiblewith air bags.

If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Shocks to the underbody of thevehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the airbag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), exceptby qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental trig-gering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnelmay work on the air bag system.

– As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle hasbeen involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.

– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and handover 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 anyway when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries causedby items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

Operating faults

å This warning light comes onwhen the engine is started and thengoes out after approximately three sec-onds.

If it does not come on when the ignitionis switched on or if it stays on, there is afault in the system.

Contact your approved Dealer as soonas possible.

Your protection will be reduced until thisfault is rectified.

CHILD SAFETY: general information

Carrying children Using a child seat



1.31

Carrying children

Children, and adults, must be correctlyseated 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 theirmuscles and bones have not yet fin-ished growing. The seat belt alonewould not provide suitable protection.Use an approved child seat and ensureyou use it correctly.

A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of

10 metres. Transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent ofallowing 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 aseat belt.If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat andhave the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

Using a child seatThe level of protection offered by thechild seat depends on its ability to re-strain your child and on its installation.Incorrect installation compromises theprotection it offers the child in the eventof harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, checkthat it complies with the regulations forthe country you are in and that it canbe fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-proved dealer to find out which seatsare recommended for your vehicle.

Before fitting a child seat, read themanual and respect its instructions. Ifyou experience any difficulties during

installation, contact the manufacturerof the equipment. Keep the instructionswith the seat.

Never leave a child unat-

tended in the vehicle.Check that your child isalways strapped in and that

the belt or safety harness used iscorrectly set and adjusted. Avoidwearing bulky clothing which couldcause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head orarms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correctposition for the entire journey, espe-cially if asleep.

To prevent the doors beingopened, use the “Childsafety” device (refer to theinformation on “Opening

and closing the doors” inSection 1).

Set a good example by always fas-tening your seat belt and teachingyour 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 childseat or one without an instructionmanual.

Check that there are no objects inthe vicinity of the child seat whichcould impede its operation.

CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat



1.32

Rear-facing child seats

A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavierthan that of an adult and its neck is veryfragile. Transport the child in this posi-tion as long as possible (until the age of2 at the very least). It supports both thehead and the neck.Choose a bucket type seat for best sideprotection and change it as soon as thechild’s head is higher than the shell.

Forward-facing child seats

The child’s head and abdomen needto be protected as a priority. A forward-facing child seat which is firmly at-tached to the vehicle will reduce the riskof impact to the head. Ensure your childtravels in a forward-facing seat with aharness or buckle for as long as theirsize permits.Choose a bucket type seat for optimumside protection.w

Booster cushions

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child cantravel using a booster seat, which willenable the seat belt to adapted to suithis size and shape. The booster seatcushion must be fitted with guides to po-sition the seat belt on the child’s thighsrather than the stomach. It is recom-mended that you use a seatback whichcan be adjusted in terms of height toposition the seat belt in the centre of the

shoulder. It must never rest on the neckor on the arm.Choose a bucket type seat for optimumside protection.

Attachment via the seat beltThe seat belt must be adjusted toensure that it is effective in the event ofharsh braking or an impact.Ensure that the strap paths indicatedby the child seat manufacturer are re-spected.

Always check that the seat belt is cor-rectly fastened by pulling it up, thenpulling it out fully whilst pressing on thechild seat.

Check that the seat is correctly held bymoving it from side to side and backto front: the seat should remain firmlyfixed.

Check that the child seat has not beeninstalled at an angle and that it is notresting against a window.

No modifications may bemade to the componentparts of the restraint system(ISOFIX seat belts, seats

and their mountings) originallyfitted.

The seat belt must neverbe twisted or the tensionrelieved. Never pass theshoulder strap under the

arm or behind the back.Check that the seat belt has notbeen damaged by sharp edges.If the seat belt does not operate nor-

mally, it will not protect the child.Consult an approved dealer. Do notuse this seat until the seat belt hasbeen repaired.

Do not use the child seatif it may unfasten the seatbelt restraining it: the baseof the seat must not rest on

the buckle and/or catch of the seatbelt.

Variable power assisted steering

The variable power-assisted steeringsystem is equipped with an electroniccontrol system which alters the level ofassistance to suit the vehicle speed.

Steering is made easier during parkingmanoeuvres (for added comfort) whilstthe force needed to steer increasesprogressively as the speed rises (forenhanced safety at high speeds).

Then, push the lever back fully, beyondthe point of resistance to lock the steer-ing wheel.

Make sure that the steering wheel iscorrectly locked.

For safety reasons, onlyadjust the steering wheelwhen the vehicle is station-ary.

Never leave the steering wheel atfull lock while stationary.

Never switch off the igni-tion when travelling down-hill, and avoid doing so innormal driving (assistance

is not provided).

With the engine switched off, or ifthere is a system fault, it is still pos-sible to turn the steering wheel. Theforce required will be greater.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that failure torespect antipollution regulations couldlead to legal action being taken againstthe vehicle owner. In addition, replacingengine, fuel supply system and exhaust

components with parts other than thoseoriginally recommended by the manu-facturer may alter your vehicle so thatit no longer complies with antipollutionregulations.

Engine adjustments – ignition: this does not require adjustment.

– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-omy, efficiency and performancethe specifications laid down by ourDesign Department must be strictlyapplied.

If the spark plugs have to be changed,

use the make, type and gap specifiedfor your vehicle’s engine. Contact anapproved dealer for this.

– idle: this does not require adjust-ment.

– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele-ment reduces performance. It mustbe replaced.


– Brake as little as possible. If you an-ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-vance, you may then simply releasethe accelerator pedal.

– Avoid sudden acceleration. – Do not overrev the engine in the in-

termediate gears.Always use the highest gear possi-

– if it flashes, reduce the engine speeduntil the light stops flashing. Contactyour approved dealer as soon aspossible.

Driving

– Drive carefully for the first few milesuntil the engine reaches its normal

operating temperature, rather thanlet it warm up while the vehicle is sta-tionary.

– Speed is expensive.

– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drivewith a light right foot.


– In vehicles fitted with air condi-tioning, it is normal to observe anincrease in fuel consumption (espe-cially in urban conditions) when it isused. For vehicles fitted with manualair conditioning, switch off the systemwhen it is not required.

Advice on use

– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the

electrical components which arenot really needed. However (safetyfirst), keep your lights on when thevisibility is bad (“see and be seen”).

– Use the air vents. Driving with thewindows open at 60 mph(100 km/h) will increase fuelconsumption by 4%.

– Avoid using the car for door-to-doorcalls (short journeys with long waitsin between) because the engine

never reaches its normal operatingtemperature.

Tyres

– An underinflated tyre increases fuelconsumption.

– The use of non-recommended tyrescan increase fuel consumption.

Advice for reducing consumptionand therefore helping to preservethe environment:

If the vehicle has been parked in thesun, open the doors for a few mo-ments to let the hot air escape beforestarting the engine.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to thebrim 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 winddeflector and adjust it carefully.

ENVIRONMENT

Your vehicle has been designed withrespect for the environment in mind forits entire service life: during production,use and at the end of its life.

Your vehicle has been manufacturedin a factory which complies with the

strictest environmental standards.Furthermore, a system has been imple-mented for checking all of the vehiclecomponents.

Emissions

Our vehicles are fitted with a particlefilter system that includes a catalyticconverter, an oxygen sensor and an

active carbon filter (the latter preventsvapour from the petrol tank being re-leased into the open air).For certain diesel vehicles, this systemalso has a particle filter to reduce thevolume of soot particles emitted.

the vehicle components have been designed to enable them to be recycled.

The materials and structures have beencarefully designed to allow these com-ponents to be easily removed and re-processed by specialist companies.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/3)

Operating principle

Ultrasonic detectors, installed in thefront or rear bumper depending on thevehicle, measure the distance betweenthe vehicle and an obstacle whilst re-versing.

This measurement is indicated bybeeps which become more frequent the

2.30

closer you come to the obstacle, untilthey become a continuous beep whenthe vehicle is approximately 30 centi-metres from the obstacle.

Note: display 1 shows the vehicle sur-roundings using beeps.

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between thevehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.

Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-ity whilst reversing.

The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: alwaysensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-

cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path whenmanoeuvring.

Most objects located less than approx-imately 60 centimetres away from thefront of the vehicle are detected and abeep is emitted. Depending on the vehi-cle, the red area on display 1 lights up.

Note: when manoeuvring, the objectdetection area switches to approxi-mately one metre. Display 1 then shows3 colours.

If there are obstacles located close toboth the front and rear of the vehicle,only the closest of the two will be ac-knowledged and the correspondingfront or rear beep sound will be emit-ted. If obstacles are detected both atthe front and rear of the vehicle at thesame time, and they are both less than30 centimetres away from the vehicle,the corresponding front and rear beeps

will be emitted alternately.

Automatic deactivation of the frontparking distance control

The system deactivates:

– when the vehicle speed is above ap-proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);

– when the vehicle is stationary formore than approximately five sec-onds and a nearby obstacle is de-tected (such as when in a traffic jametc.);

– when the vehicle is in neutral or whenthe gear lever has been shifted to N or P for automatic gearboxes;

6 Air recirculation.

Switching air conditioning onor off The air conditioning is switched on (in-

dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)using button 3 .

The air conditioning system is usedfor:

– lowering the temperature inside thepassenger compartment;

– el iminat ing condensation morequickly.

i The air flow is distributed be-tween all the air vents, thefront side window demisting vents, thewindscreen demisting vents and thefootwells.

ó The air flow is directed mainlytowards the footwells.

Recommended demisting option:

Turn controls 1, 2 and 4 to theW position. This is the quickest option for

de-icing and demisting the side win-dows and the windscreen.

Switching the airrecirculation onPress button 6 : the integrated indicator

light comes on.Under these conditions, air is takenfrom the passenger compartment andis recirculated, with no air being takenfrom outside the vehicle.

PositionsW andi disable

the air recirculation function to avoidany risk of condensation forming onthe windscreen, and trigger the airconditioning and integrated indica-tor light 3 to come on.

Air recirculation is for: – isolating the vehicle from the exter-

nal atmosphere (driving in pollutedareas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-ment temperature as quickly as pos-sible.

Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the sidewindows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air inthe passenger compartment.We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the airrecirculation function is no longer required, by pressing the button 6 again.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (1/5)

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information

It is normal for an engine to use oil for

lubrication and cooling of moving partsand it is normal to top up the level be-tween oil changes.

However, contact your approvedDealer if more than 0.5 litres is beingconsumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)after the running in period.

Oil change frequency: check the oillevel from time to time and certainly

before any long journey to avoid therisk of damaging your engine.

In order to prevent splashback, it isrecommended that a funnel be usedwhen topping up/filling with oil



4.3

Reading the oil level

The oil level should be read with thevehicle on level ground, after the enginehas been switched off for some time.

The dipstick must be used to read

the exact oil level and make surethat the maximum level has not beenexceeded (risk of engine damage). Refer to the following pages.

The instrument panel display only alertsthe driver when the oil level is at its min-imum.

– remove the dipstick and wipe with aclean, lint-free cloth;

– push the dipstick in as far as it willgo (for vehicles equipped with a cap-type dipstick C , screw the cap in asfar as it will go);

– take out the dipstick again; – read the level: it should never fall

below minimum mark A or exceedmaximum mark B.

Once the operation has been completed,ensure that the dipstick is pushed in asfar as it will go or that the “cap-type dip-stick” is completely screwed in.

Exceeding the maximumengine oil level

The oil level should only be read withthe dipstick as explained above.

If the oil level exceeds the maximumlevel, do not start your vehicle andcontact an approved Dealer.

Under no circumstances

should maximum filling lev-el B be exceeded: this coulddamage the engine and the

catalytic converter.

started up for the first time in the day).

Engine oil grade

Refer to the Maintenance ServiceBooklet for your vehicle.

– Unscrew cap 1;

– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-pacity between the minimum andmaximum reading on the dipstick 2

is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend-ing on the engine);

– wait for approximately 20 minutes toallow the oil to flow into the engine;

– check the level using the dipstick 2 (as described above).

Once the operation is complete, ensurethat the dipstick is fully inserted, orthe cap-type dipstick screwed in com-

pletely.Do not exceed the max level anddo not forget to refit cap 1 and dip-stick 2 .

Consult your approved Dealer atonce if you notice an abnormal orrepeated drop in any of the fluidlevels.

The engine may be hotwhen carrying out opera-tions in close proximity. In

addition, the engine coolingfan can come on at any moment.

Risk of injury.

Coolant

The level when cold should be be-tween the MIN and MAX marks on thecoolant reservoir 1.

Top this level up when cold before itreaches the MIN mark.

No operations should becarried out on the coolingcircuit when the engine is

hot.

Risk of burns.

Consult your approved dealer atonce if you notice an abnormal orrepeated drop in any of the fluidlevels.



Risk of injury.

PUNCTURE

In case of puncture

Depending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-tion kit or emergency spare wheel isprovided (refer to the following pages).

Special note

The Tyre Pressure Monitor functiondoes not check the emergency sparewheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-gency spare wheel disappears from theinstrument panel display).

Refer to the information on the “Tyrepressure monitor” in Section 2.



5.2

If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it issafe to use.

Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the four other wheels: – Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.

– As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, the vehicle’s ground clearance is reduced.

– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the same dimensions as the original.

– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speedindicated on the label on the wheel.

– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration andreduce your speed when cornering.

– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.

tioned (to avoid noise).

gcheck that all the tools are correctlyclipped into the tool kit, then posi-tion it correctly in its housing: risk ofinjury.

If wheel bolts are supplied in thetool kit, only use these bolts for theemergency spare wheel: refer to thelabel affixed to the emergency sparewheel.

The jack is designed for wheelchanging purposes only. Under nocircumstances should it be used forcarrying out repairs underneath thevehicle or to gain access to the un-

derside of the vehicle.



TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)

Do not attempt to use theinflation kit if the tyre hasbeen damaged as a resultof driving with a puncture.

You should therefore carefully checkthe condition of the tyre sidewallsbefore any operation.

Driving with underinflated, flat orpunctured tyres can be dangerousand may make the tyre impossibleto repair.

This repair is temporary

A tyre which has been puncturedshould always be inspected (and

The kit is only approved forinflating the tyres of the ve-hicle originally equippedwith the kit.

It must never be used to inflate thetyres of another vehicle, or any otherinflatable object (rubber ring, rubberboat, etc.).

Maintaining the tyres

Tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact betweenthe vehicle and the road, so it is essen-tial to keep them in good condition.

You must make sure that your tyres con-form to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been worn to

the level of the wear indicators, theybecome visible 2 : it is then necessaryto replace your tyres because the treadrubber is no more than 1.6 mm deep,resulting in poor roadholding on wetroads.

An overloaded vehicle, long journeysby motorway, particularly in very hotweather, or continual driving on poorlysurfaced minor roads will lead to more

rapid tyre wear and affect safety.



5.10

g y

The tyres must be in good conditionand the tread form must have sufficientdepth; tyres approved by our TechnicalDepartment have tread wear indica-tors 1 which are indicators mouldedinto the tread at several points.When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of thesame make, size, type andprofile should be used.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle shouldeither be identical to those fittedoriginally or conform to thoserecommended by your approved

dealer.

Incidents which occur whendriving, such as striking thekerb, may damage the tyresand wheel rims, and could

also lead to misalignment of thefront or rear axle geometry. In this

case, have the condition of thesechecked by an approved dealer.

TYRES (2/3)

Tyre pressures

Adhere to the tyre pressures (includingthe emergency spare wheel). The tyrepressures should be checked at leastonce a month and additionally beforeany long journey (refer to the label af-fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

Pressures should be checked when the

tyres are cold; ignore higher pressureswhich may be reached in hot weatheror following a fast journey.

If tyre pressures cannot be checkedwhen the tyres are cold, the normalpressures must be increased by 0.2 to0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Special noteDepending on the vehicle, there maybe an adapter which needs to be posi-tioned on the valve before air is added.

Fitting new tyres

Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wearand unusually hot running.These are factors which

For safety reasons, this op-eration must be carried outby a specialist.

Fitting different tyres maychange your vehicle as follows:

– it may mean that your vehicle nolonger conforms to current regu-

lations; – it may change the way it handles

when cornering;

– it may cause the steering to beheavy;



5.11

Emergency spare wheel

Refer to the information on “Puncture”and “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.

These are factors whichmay seriously affect safety and leadto:

– poor road holding,

– risk of bursting or tread separa-tion.

The pressure depends on the loadand the speed of use. Adjust thepressure according to the condi-tions of use (refer to the label affixedto the edge of the driver’s door).

Please be aware that apoorly tightened or miss-ing valve cap can make thetyres less airtight and lead

to pressure loss.

Always use valve caps identical tothose fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

– It may affect the use of snowchains.

Chains

For safety reasons, fitting snowchains to the rear axle is strictly for-bidden.

Chains cannot be fitted to tyres whichare larger than those originally fitted tothe vehicle.

Studded tyresThis type of equipment may only beused for a limited period and as laiddown by local legislation. It is neces-sary to observe the speed specified bycurrent legislation.

These tyres must, at a minimum, befitted to the two front wheels.

Chains may only be fittedto tyres of the same sizeas those originally fitted to

your vehicle.

Changing a wheel

As the tyre pressure moni-tor may take several min-utes to correctly determine

the positions of the wheels and thepressure values after driving, checkthe tyre pressures following any op-

eration.

6.8

It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down inthe Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.

– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded. However the following ispermitted:

– the rear maximum permissible weight (MMTA) may be exceeded by no more than 15%; – the MMAC (Maximum permissible all-up weight) may be exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever occurs

first).

In either case, the maximum speed of the towing assembly must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure must beincreased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).

– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10%

at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.
