As a guide, this type of cleaning should take up to 20 minutes.
If the © warning light comes on, accompanied by the message “Check antipollution”, consult an approved Dealer as soon as possible.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection equipment which prevents the engine speed being exceeded irrespective of the gear selected.
Special features of diesel versions fitted with a particle filter
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 con- tact with the hot exhaust system.
When driving, depending on the grade of fuel 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.
Warning light
1 Ü comes on to indi- cate a filter saturation risk.
To clean the particle filter, for 60 miles (100 km) after the message appears, drive at an average speed of at least 24 mph (40 km/h), where suitable traf- fic conditions and the speed limit will allow, until the warning light goes out. You may need to restart the operation if the vehicle has to stop before the warn- ing light goes out.

GEAR LEVER/HANDBRAkE
Handbrake
To release:
Pull lever
2 up slightly, press button 3 and then lower the lever to the floor.The red warning light on the instrument panel will light up if you are driving with an incorrectly released handbrake.
To apply:
Pull lever
2 upwards. Check that the vehicle is immobilised. The red indica- tor light on the instrument panel goes out.
23
When stationary, and de- pending on the slope and/or vehicle load, it may be nec- essary to pull up the hand- brake at least two extra notches and engage a gear (1st or reverse gear)
for vehicles with a manual gearbox or position P for vehicles with an au- tomatic gearbox.
Make sure that the hand- brake is properly released when driving (red indicator light off), otherwise over- heating may occur.
An impact to the under- side of the vehicle while manoeuvring (e.g.: strik- ing a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor- mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an ap- proved Dealer.

– Brake as little as possible by suitably anticipating an obstacle or bend and then simply releasing the accelerator pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in
- termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi- ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic trans- mission, it is preferable to keep the
gear lever in position D.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on level roads. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off the engine are unnecessary in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through floods if the depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’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
your approved dealer as soon as possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.
Driving
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the vehicle is sta- tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.

Deactivating the A.S.R.
function results in the E.S.P. function being deactivated. Refer to the information on the “Traction control: ASR” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat- ing fault the message “Check ESP” ap- pears on the instrument panel along
with warning lights © and A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
The function is deactivated by pressing
switch 1; warning light A will come on to warn you that the system has been deactivated.
This action also deactivates the trac- tion control mechanism: the message ‘ASR deselected’ appears on the in- strument panel. Refer to the informa- tion on “Traction control” in the follow- ing pages.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati- cally when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function when travelling above a threshold of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

Traction control: ASR
This function is an addi- tional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav- iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum- stances replace the vigilance or re- sponsibility of the driver when ma- noeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden in- cidents which may occur when driv- ing).
The system also adjusts the engine speed to the grip available under the wheels, independently of the pressure exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function begins to operate,
warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompa- nied by the ‘traction control deselected’ message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system measures and compares the speed of the drive wheels at all times and slows down their over-rotation.
If a wheel is starting to slip, the system brakes automatically until the drive sup- plied becomes compatible with the level of grip under the wheel again.
This system helps to limit skidding on drive wheels and to control the vehicle when pulling away or accelerating.

Deactivating the A.S.R. function results in the E.S.P. function being deactivated. Refer to the information on the “Electronic stability program: E.S.P.” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat- ing fault the message “Check E.S.P.” appears on the instrument panel along
with the © warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very wet ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with snow chains fitted), the system may reduce the engine output to limit wheel- spin. If this is not required, it is possible to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The ‘traction control deselected’ mes- sage is displayed on the instrument panel along with warning light A to inform you.
Disabling the function also disables the E.S.P. function.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati- cally when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function when travelling above a threshold of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

Switching off the function
Press switch 1. If you do this, the speed is not memorised.
The instrument panel green indicator
lights Ï and ¦ go out, con- firming that the function is deactivated.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been stored, it is possi-
ble to recall it by pressing switch 5 (R), on condition that you are driving faster than 20 mph (30 km/h) and that you are sure that the driving conditions are suitable (traffic, road surface condition, weather conditions, etc.).
Pressing switches 2 (+) or 3 (-) re- activates the cruise control func- tion without taking into account the memorised speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is interrupted when you:
– the switch
4 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– the clutch pedal or shift into neutral
if the vehicle has an automatic gear- box.
In all three cases, the cruising speed is stored.
Standby is confirmed when indicator
light ¦ goes out.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the cruise control on standby or switching it off does not cause a rapid reduction in speed: you must brake by depressing the brake pedal.

Operation
With gear lever 1 in position P, start the engine.
With your foot on the brake pedal (warn-
ing light 4 goes out), move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi- cle is stopped, with your foot on the brake and the accelerator pedal re- leased.
You must apply the brake before pressing unlocking button 2 to move out of position P.

Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In most traffic conditions, you will not have to touch the gear selector lever again: the gears will change automati- cally at the right time and at the most suitable engine speed because the au- tomatic system takes into account the vehicle load and road contour and ad- justs itself to the particular driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever in position D, keeping the accelerator pedal lightly depressed to ensure au- tomatic gear changes at comparatively low engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (so that it goes beyond the kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down to the optimum gear within the engine range.
