SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit up,
– using leaded petrol,
– using oil or fuel additives which are
not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
spark plug disconnected resulting in engine misfiring and hesitation 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 operat- ing faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by your approved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to your approved dealer at the intervals specified in your Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con- verter, do not keep trying to start the 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.

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.

Remorquage : dépannage
TOWING: breakdown
The steering wheel must be un- locked and the ignition key must be in position M (ignition on) to provide brake lights and direction indicators on the towed vehicle. At night the ve- hicle must have its lights on.
You must observe the towing regulations which apply in the country in which you are driving: do not exceed the towing
weight for your vehicle. Contact an ap- proved Dealer.
Only use the towing ring 1 (in the lug- gage compartment) and the towing points at the front 3 and rear 4 (never use the drive shafts). These towing points may only be used for towing: never use them for lifting the vehicle di- rectly or indirectly.
When the engine is stopped, steering and braking assist- ance are not operational.Do not leave the tools unse- cured inside the vehicle as they may come loose under braking.

– Use a rigid towing bar. If a rope or cable is used (where the law allows this), the ve- hicle being towed must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking sud
- denly when towing, as this may result in damage being caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad
- visable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).

Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.).
– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in
the road traffic regulations. Contact an approved Dealer for any towing equipment mod\
ifications. For vehicles fitted with a trailer, the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) must never be exceeded. However, the following conditions are permitted:rear axle maximum permissible weight exceeded by no more than 15%,maximum permissible all-up weight exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg\
(whichever is reached first).
– In both cases, the maximum speed of the vehicle and towed appliance must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pres
- sures must be increased 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 m\
etres thereafter.
The weights shown are for a basic vehicle without options: they vary according to your vehicle’s equipment. Contact an approved Dealer.
