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.
–
N
ever fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
–
D
o not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
–
It
is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
–
W
hen 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”).
–
U
se the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –
A
void 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:
–
insuf
ficient pressure,
–
using non-recommended tyres.

4x2 (2WD) and 4x4 (4WD)
mode selector
Depending on the road conditions,
turning selector
1 enables the following
modes to be selected:
–
2WD
;
–
AUT
O
;
–
4WD Lock.
Transmission: 4-wheel drive (4WD)
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (1/4) “AUTO" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector 1 to
the “AUTO” position.
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 1 to
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.

Tyre safety and use of snow
chains
Refer to the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5 for the servicing con-
ditions and, depending on the ver-
sion, the use of chains.
Special note
For vehicles used fully laden
( m a x i m u m p e r m i s s i b l e a l l - u p
weight) and towing a trailer. The
maximum speed must be limited
to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre
pressure increased by 0.2 bar.
Refer to the information on “Weights”
in Section 6.
When they need to be replaced, 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.

TOWING: breakdown (1/3)
Towing procedure
The steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to pro-
vide stop lights and hazard warning
lights on the towed vehicle. At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is being
towed.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact an approved Dealer.
Front and rear towing points
Only use the front 1 and rear 2
towing points.
W h e n t h e e n g i n e i s
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
– Use a rigid towing bar (except for off-road recovery). If a rope or cable
is used (where the law allows this), the vehicle being towed must be able
to brake.
–
A
vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven.
–
A
void accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this may result in
damage being caused to the vehicle.
–
When towing a vehicle, it is advisable not to exceed 15 mph (25
km/h).
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.

–
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 authorised dealer for any towing equipment m\
odifications.
–
For
vehicles fitted with a trailer, the gross train weight (vehicle + trailer) must never be exceeded . However, the following
is tolerated:
–
the Maximum permissible wei
ght at the rear may be exceeded by no more than 15%,
–
the maximum permissible all-
up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever occu\
rs first).
In
either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 60 mph (100 kph) and the tyre pressures 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 will vary depending on the equipment level of your ve-
hicle. Please consult an authorised dealer.
