EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (3/3)
fRear fog light
Turn the centre ring 4 on 
the stalk until the symbol is opposite 
mark 5, then release it.
Depending on the vehicle, the stalk re-
turns to the initial position or stays in 
position.
Operation of the fog lights depends on 
the exterior lighting selected, and an in-
dicator light will light up on the instru-
ment panel.
To avoid inconveniencing other road 
users, remember to switch off the rear 
fog light when it is no longer needed.
Turning off the fog lights
There are two possibilities:
–  manually, depending on the vehi- cle, turn the ring 4 again to bring the 
mark  5 opposite the symbol for the 
fog light that you want to switch off, 
or bring the ring 4 into position  0. The 
corresponding indicator light will go 
out on the instrument panel;
– the lights will go out automati- cally when the engine is switched 
off or the vehicle is locked, and the 
fog lights when the driver’s door is 
opened.
The front and rear fog lights switch off 
when the exterior lights are switched 
off.
When driving in fog or snow, or 
when transporting objects which are 
higher than the roof, the headlights 
do not come on automatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains 
the responsibility of the driver: the 
indicator lights on the instrument 
panel inform you whether the fog 
lights are lit (indicator light on) or not 
(indicator light not on).

2.11
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine 
speed being exceeded irrespective of 
the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollution 
system” is displayed along with warn-
ing lights 
Ä and ©, consult an 
authorised dealer immediately. 
When driving, depending on the fuel 
grade used, it is possible that white 
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter 
being cleaned automatically, and does 
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the  tank has been completely 
drained, the system must be reprimed 
after the tank is refilled: see information 
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
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 the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in 
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
–  ensure that the battery is always fully  charged,
–  always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the 
bottom of the tank.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO DRIVING (5/5)
Advice on use
–  Opt for ECO mode.
–  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 at 60 mph (100 km/h) 
will increase fuel consumption by 
4%.
–  Never fill the fuel tank right to the  brim to avoid overflow.
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning,  it is normal to observe an 
increase in fuel consumption (espe-
cially 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.
– 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.
–  Avoid using the car for door-to-door  calls (short journeys with long waits 
in between) because the engine 
never reaches its normal operating 
temperature.
Tyres
–  An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
–  The use of non-recommended tyres  can increase fuel consumption.

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE 
Your vehicle complies with criteria for 
recycling and recovering vehicles at the 
end of their service life which will come 
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future 
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so 
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel 
consumption and initial settings, your 
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac-
turer is actively striving to reduce pol-
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to 
save energy. But the fuel consumption 
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant 
exhaust gas emissions are also your 
responsibility. Ensure that it is main-
tained and used correctly.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that fail-
ure to respect antipollution regulations 
could lead to legal action being taken 
against the vehicle owner.In addition, replacing engine, fuel 
supply system and exhaust compo-
nents with parts other than those origi-
nally recommended by the manufac-
turer may alter your vehicle so that it 
no longer complies with anti-pollution 
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and 
checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in 
your maintenance schedule: they will 
have all the equipment necessary for 
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained 
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Spark plugs:
 for optimum condi-
tions of use, output 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 
authorised dealer for this.
–  Air filter, fuel filter:  a choked ele-
ment will reduce efficiency. It must 
be replaced.
–  Ignition and idle speed:  no adjust-
ment is needed.
Exhaust gas monitoring 
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will 
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if 
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is 
switched on and goes out when the 
engine is started.
–  If it lights up continuously, consult an  approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
–  if it flashes, reduce the engine speed  until the light stops flashing. Contact 
an authorised dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
