Interpreting some of the
values displayed after
resetting
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 button you will notice:
– that the range increases as you
travel. This is normal, as average 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 displayed DEPENDS ON THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT AND COUNTRY.
– You may also notice that the average
fuel consumption increases when the vehicle is stationary and the engine idling.
This is normal, since the computer takes account of fuel used during idling.
Note: resetting is automatic when the maximum capacity of any of the memo- ries is exceeded.

FUEL TANK
Capacity of the fuel tank: 50 litres ap- proximately.
Depending on the vehicle, the cap
1 may be unlocked with the ignition key.
For details on filling the fuel tank, refer to the information on “Filling with fuel”.
There is a cap holder on the fuel filler flap for holding the cap when the tank is being filled.
Fuel filler cap: this is spe- cific to the vehicle type. If you have to replace it, make sure the new cap is of the same type. Contact an approved dealer.
Never place the cap near a source of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a high-pressure washer.
Fuel grade
Use a high grade fuel that complies with the standards currently in force in each country.
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol. The octane rating (RON) must conform with the specifications given on the
label inside the fuel filler flap A.
Refer to the “Engine specifications” table in section 6.
v ehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
Always use unleaded petrol or fuel containing a maximum of 85 percent ethanol (E85).
Note: you may notice an increase in fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
When the fuel is changed the engine must adjust, which may cause minor in- conveniences for a few minutes (longer starting times, cutting out, etc.).
1
A
Do not mix even small amounts of petrol (unleaded or E85) with diesel.Do not use ethanol based fuel or diesel containing more than 10% bio additives if your vehicle is not adapted to these fuels.

Conseils antipollution, économies de carburant
The manufacturer is acively striving to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle conforms to current antipollu- tion regulations. Technical design, how- ever, cannot achieve all. The fuel con- sumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are very much within your control. Make sure that your vehicle is maintained correctly, and is driven carefully.
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 regulations.
Have your vehicle checked and ad- justed by your approved dealer in ac- cordance with the instructions in your Maintenance Service Booklet.
Your approved dealer has all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– ignition: this does not require ad- justment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ- omy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an approved Dealer as soon as possi- ble.
–
idle speed: this does not require ad- justment.
–
air filter, diesel filter: a choked el- ement hinders performance. It must be replaced.
ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi- tioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (es- pecially in city conditions) when it is used. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing fuel consumption and therefore help- ing to protect the environment:
– It is advisable to 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 mo- ments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank 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.
However (safety first), keep your lights on when the visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open will increase fuel consumption by 4% at a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h). –
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.

Control
E switches the air conditioning on or off.
The system cannot be switched on if
control A is set to 0.
Using the air conditioning system enables you to:
– lower the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– e l i m i n a t e c o n d e n s a t i o n m o r e
quickly.
Fuel consumption increases when the air conditioning system is being used. (Switch it off when it is not required.)
Note: The air conditioning may be used in all conditions but does not operate when the external temperature is low.

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 manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing fuel consumption and therefore help- ing to protect the environment:It is advisable to drive with the 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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for the in- spection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your approved dealer in the event of an operating fault.
No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set cor- rectly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.
Do not open the refriger- ant fluid circuit. The fluid may damage the 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 ve- hicle. This is caused by condensa- tion.
