STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
Starting the engine
OVehicles with an automatic
transmission
Refer to the paragraph
“Automatic transmission” in
section 2.
Vehicles with an immobiliser
system
In very cold conditions
(temperature below than –20°C):
so that it is easier to start the
engine, switch on the ignition for
several secondsbeforestarting
the engine.
Ensure the immobiliser system is
not operational. Refer to section
1 “immobiliser system”.
OPetrol injection
Engine cold or hot
- Turn the key to the start
positionwithout accelerating
- Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
ODiesel injection
Engine cold or warm
Turn the key to the “Ignition on”
positionMand hold it there until
the preheating warning light
extinguishes (the colder the
engine, the more preheating is
required).
Turn the key to the “Start”
positionDand hold it there for
periods of a maximum of 10
seconds, until the engine starts.
In cold weather (below –10°C)
press down the clutch pedal and
accelerate fully while activating
the starter. After releasing the
key, when the engine has gained
speed, lift your foot off the
accelerator to let the engine
return to idling speed. Allow the
engine to idle for a few seconds
before removing your foot from
the clutch pedal.Hot engine
Turn the key directly to the “Start”
position. If the engine does not start
first time, repeat the operation using
preheating.
Do not allow the engine to race; let it
idle for a few moments.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, return the
key to the “Stop” position.
If there is a child (or animal) in the car, never leave it unattended with the key in the ignition. With the key in
the ignition it would be possible to operate the electrical equipment such as the windows and there is a risk
that the child may be seriously injured (by trapping his or her neck, arm, hand, etc.).
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely.Once the engine has stopped, the power
steering, brake servo and passive safety devices such as air bags and pretensioners will no longer operate. When the
key has been removed, the steering will lock.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING(continued)
General hints
•Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all
the electrical units which are not
really needed.
However,(with safety always in
mind), keep your lights on when
the visibility is bad (see and be
seen).
• Try to use the air vents. Driving at
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h)
with the windows open will
increase the use of fuel by 4%.•For vehicles fitted with air
conditioning,morefuelmaybe
used during urban driving; switch
off the system when it is not really
needed.
• Never fill the fuel tank up to the
brim to avoid it overflowing.
• Do not leave an empty roof rack in
position.
• Use a trailer for carrying bulky
objects.
• When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it properly.
• Avoid using the car for door to
door calls (short journeys with
long stops in between), as the
engine never reaches its ideal
temperature. Try to group your
calls.
Tyres
•Inflation pressures which are too
low may increase fuel
consumption.
• The use of non-recommended
tyres may also increase fuel
consumption.

HEATING - VENTILATION(continued)
• Position
For improved efficiency, close the
dashboard air vents.
All the air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisters and the side
window demisters.• Position (Isolation position)
This position prevents any air from
entering (regardless of the position
of controlC). This allows the
passenger compartment to be isolated
from the external environment
(driving through polluted areas, etc.).
Prolonged use of the ISOLATION
position may cause the windows to
mist up.
We recommend that another position
is selected as soon as the polluted area
is left behind.
