which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of
fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con -
verter to overheat and thus reduce its
efficiency, or damage it irreparably
and cause heat damage to the vehi-
cle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu
-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved

verter, do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
keep trying to start the engine, but con-
tact an approved Dealer.
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.

other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor -
mation of an axle).

your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.

slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
Fuses
Check the fuse in question
and replace it, if neces-
sary, by a fuse of the same
rating.

rating, it may cause the electrical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the
event of an item of equipment using
an excessive amount of current.
Fuse box 1
If any electrical component does not
work, check the condition of the fuses.
Depending on the vehicle, open the
cover to the right of the steering wheel
or the glove box.
To identify the fuses, refer to the fuse
allocation sticker (shown on the follow -
ing page).
