Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Low fuel level

When the minimum level
in the tank is reached,
this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen. When it fi rst comes
on, there remains around 5 litres of
fuel in the tank.
You must refuel to avoid running out
of fuel.

Press at the top left corner, then
pull open from the left.


)

and unlock the fi ller cap,

)

hook A

)
fi ll the tank, but do not persist
after the third cut-off
; this could
cause your vehicle to malfunction.


While you are refuelling, the engine
must be stopped and the ignition
switched off.


For a petrol engine with a cata-
lytic converter, unleaded fuel is
compulsory.



Opening the fuel flap

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by
the fuel gauge.
The fi ller neck is narrower to en-
sure that only unleaded petrol noz-
zles can be put in.
Opening the fi ller cap may create
a noise of an inrush of air. This
vacuum, which is entirely normal,
is caused by the sealing of the fuel
system.


Refuelling








With Stop & Start, never re-
fuel with the system in STOP
mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.
