Mise en route / Arrêt du moteur
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside when leaving a child (or \
animal) in the car, even for a short period.
The reason for this is that the child may endanger himself or others by starting the engine, activating equipment such
as the window winders for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely. Once the engine has stopped, the brake servo, power assisted steering and passive safety equipment such as air bags wi\
ll no longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key is removed.

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.

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.

Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com- patible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then discon- nect both battery leads starting with the negative terminal.
Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instruc- tions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an- other vehicle to start, obtain suitable jump leads (with a large cross section) from an approved dealer or, if you al- ready have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden- tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least the same as that of the dis- charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact between the two vehicles (risk of short circuiting when the positive terminals are connected) and that the discharged battery is properly connected. Switch off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply- ing the current and run it at an interme- diate engine speed.Connect the positive (+) lead
A to (+)
terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup- plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead
B to (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying the
current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact between
leads A and B and that the positive (+)
lead A is not touching any metal parts on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it is running, disconnect leads A and B in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your ap- proved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and charge the battery in a well-venti- lated area. Risk of serious injury.

Rear towing point 4
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).
