Resetting the trip mileage
With the display set to “trip mileage re-
corder”, press and hold button 1 or 2, or
press and hold buttons 1 and 2 simul- taneously.
Resetting the journey
parameters (reset button)
With the display set to one of the jour- ney parameters, press and hold but-
ton 1 or 2, or the two buttons simulta- neously.
Interpreting some of the
values displayed after
resetting
The values showing average fuel con- sumption, range and average speed will become more stable and reliable the further you travel after pressing the reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing the reset key you will notice that the range increases as you travel. This range takes into account the average fuel consumption since the last time the reset button was pressed. Therefore, the average fuel consumption may de- crease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating;
– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (if the engine was cold when reset key was pressed);
– when driving from a built-up area
onto the open road.
Automatic resetting of the
journey parameters
Resetting occurs automatically when the maximum value of any of the pa- rameters is exceeded.

Filling up with fuel
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the antipollution system and may lead to a loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler neck contains a restrictor fitted with a foolproof system which only allows the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be used (at the pump).
– Insert the nozzle so that the valve is
pushed back and then fully insert it before beginning to fill the tank (risk of splashback).
– Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling opera- tion.
Petrol and diesel versions
When the pump cuts out automatically at the end of the filling procedure, a maximum of two further filling attempts may be made, as there must be suffi- cient space in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol. The octane rating (RON) must con- form with the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A. Refer to the information on “Engine specifica- tions” in Section 6.
Special features of vehicles running on ethanol-based fuel:
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth- anol (E85).
To make it easier to start the engine in very cold conditions, it is recommended to use unleaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles, to use the heater integrated in the engine.
In this case, connect the special end of the extension piece supplied into the socket integrated into the radiator grille and the other end into a 220V socket for at least 6 hours before starting.
Note: when using ethanol-based fuel, you may notice over-consumption.
FUEL TANK (2/2)
No modifications what- soever are permitted on any part of the fuel supply system (electronic unit, wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protec- tive covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by qualified Network personnel).
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent fuel odour you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf
- fic conditions allow and switch off the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers to leave the vehicle and stay clear of the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.

Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
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 reprocessed 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 re- sponsibility. Ensure that it is maintained and used correctly.
Aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to optimise consumption, an indicator light on the instrument panel will inform you of the best moment to upshift or down- shift gears:
ä upshift a gear;
æ downshift a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to respect antipollution regulations could 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 adjusted and checked by an approved dealer, in ac- cordance with the instructions given in your Maintenance Service Booklet: they will have all the equipment nec- essary 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 for this.
–
idle: this does not require adjust- ment.
–
air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele- ment reduces performance. It must be replaced.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– 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
w i n d o w s o p e n a t 6 0 m p h ( 1 0 0 k m / h ) w i l l i n c r e a s e f u e l consumption by 4%.
– 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.
–
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.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– 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.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in town) when the air conditioning is operating. For vehi- cles fitted with manual air condition- ing, switch off the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:
Drive with the air vents open and the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for the in- spection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap- proved dealer in the event of an op- erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist
- ing or air conditioning perform- ance. This may be caused by the passenger compartment filter cartridge becoming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.
Do not open the refriger- ant fluid circuit. The fluid may damage eyes or skin.
Notes
Presence of water under the ve- hicle. After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the ve- hicle. This is caused by condensa- tion.
Do not add anything to the vehicle’s ventilation circuit (for example, to remove bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of fire.
