INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
The total distance is
displayed in zone 1 of
the display and the trip
distance in zone 2 .
DISTANCE RECORDERS (A/B)
System for measuring the total distance
travelled by the vehicle during its
service life and the distance travelled in
a day or other period until it is reset to
zero by the driver.
Zero reset
With the ignition on, press the INFO
button for more than 2 seconds until
zeros appear. When the engine is run-
ning, this indicates the tem-
perature of the coolant
.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
If the bar is close to the critical position
located on the right, the temperature is
too high.

Wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level. The cooling
system is pressurised.
When the engine is
running , this indicates
the distance which can
still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank
in relation to the average
consumption over the
last few miles/kilometres
travelled.
RANGE RANGE
When the range is less than 30 miles
(50 km) , dashes are displayed.
Fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
The display of the range is updated.
As the cooling system is pressurised, to
avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the
cap by two turns to allow the pressure
to drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level, if
necessary.

When you disconnect the bat-
tery, the previous consumption
data is lost and the value dis-
played will be different from that
displayed before the battery was
disconnected. The distance dis-
played must be considered an
approximate indication.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the con-
sumption should not exceed 0.5 litre
per 600 miles (1,000 km). T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.

In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, ETC. CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
T h e m a x i m u m t o w i n g l o a d o n a l o n g
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lights
Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
If this message is dis-
played, stop your ve-
hicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.

Opening of the lower tailgate is
prohibited if a towbar is being
used.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing

We recommend the use of origi-

and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle and that the

Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
