locked.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOORS (2/2)
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

sition: the top of the head-
rest should be as close as possible
to the top of the head and there must
be a minimal distance between the
head and the headrest A.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
1
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatso-
ever is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
– To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved Dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.
– The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved Dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
air bag gas generators.Depending on the vehicle, they will con-
sist of:
– front seat belt inertia reel preten-sioners;
– chest-level load limiters;
– air bags for driver and front pas- senger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner (which engages to correct seat belt
slack);
– airbags.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
With the ignition on, following a signif-
icant frontal impact and depending on
the severity of the impact, the system
may trigger the seat belt inertia reel
pretensioner 1, which instantly retracts
the seat belt.

1.37
Rear centre seat
Check that the belt is suitable for secu-
ring your child seat. Consult an appro-
ved dealer.
Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.
In the rear side seat
A carrycot can be installed across the
vehicle and will take up at least two
seats.
Position the child with their feet nearest
the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as
possible to install a rear-facing child
seat, then move back the seat in front
as far as it will go, although without al-
lowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.
For the safety of the child in the for-
ward-facing seat, do not move the seat
in front back past the middle of the
runner, do not tilt the seatback too far
(maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as
much as possible.
In all situations, remove the rear head-
rests (refer to the information on the
“Rear headrests” in Section 3). This
must be done before fitting the child
seat.
Check that the forward-facing child seat
is resting against the back of the vehi-
cle seat.

Engine oil gradeRefer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (2/2)OIL CHANGE
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Engine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
Filling: take care when
topping up the oil that
no oil drips onto engine
components - risk of fire.
Remember to refit the cap securely
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes
onto hot engine components.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

Oil change capacity
Please refer to the maintenance docu-
ment for your vehicle, or contact an au-
thorised dealer.
Always check the engine oil level using
the dipstick, as explained previously (it
should never fall below the minimum
level, or be over the maximum level on
the dipstick).
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

1Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.

4.14
Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances
when driving on gravelled surfaces to
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas
where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechani-
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper”
in Section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional lights
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and refit
the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used.
Vehicles with a matte paint
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing);
– rub hard;
– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car
wash;
– wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle
sponge.

NB: if the tool kit does not lock in place,
check the tightness of nut 3 and the
correct positioning of handle 4.
Special features
The emergency spare wheel holder
should always be present when you are
driving even when the wheel itself is not
present: risk of water entering the vehi-
cle.
If you have to release it when it is not
holding a wheel, push the centre of the
wheel holder towards the ground while
pressing handle 4.
To lock the system
– Press nut 3, screwing it on fully until
it locks in place. Several turns will
be necessary. This operation is es-
sential to ensure that the wheel is
secure;

tion;
– clip the tool kit;
– replace the cover, then lower it and replace the luggage compartment
carpet.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (4/4)
The system should only
be used with the original
vehicle wheels or identical
wheels.
It is essential to lock the nut
so that the wheel is held se-
curely.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 1 to prevent any repair
product from escaping and store the
container in plastic packaging to pre-
vent the product from escaping.
– Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can
easily be seen by the driver;
– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation op- eration, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at between 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recom-
mended pressure (refer to the label
affixed to the edge of the driver’s
door), readjust it. Otherwise, please
contact an authorised dealer: the
tyre cannot be repaired.Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.
1
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and may
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.
