Interpreting some of the
values displayed after
resetting
The values showing average fuel
consumption, range and average
speed will become more stable and re-
liable the further you travel after pres-
sing 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 fuel consumption may decrease
when:– the vehicle stops accelerating,
– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (engine cold when
reset button pressed),
– when driving from a built-up area
onto the open road.
Therefore, if the average fuel
consumption decreases, the
range will increase. – You may also notice that the ave-
rage fuel consumption increases
when the vehicle is stationary and
the engine idling.
This is normal, since the computer
takes account of fuel used during
idling.
Manually resetting the journey para-
meters: with the display showing one
of the journey parameters, press the
button 2 until the display is reset.
Automatically resetting the journey
parameters: the reset is automatic
when the capacity of one of the memo-
ries is exceeded.

With the engine running, do not leave
the steering wheel at full lock while sta-
tionary as this may damage the power-
assisted steering pump.
With the engine switched off, or if there
is a system fault, it is still possible to
turn the steering wheel. The force re-
quired will be greater.
Adjusting the steering wheel
Depending on the vehicle, the steering
wheel position is adjustable.
Lift lever 1 and place the steering wheel
in the required position; raise the lever
to lock the steering wheel in place.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).

FUEL TANK (2/6)
Vehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
Always use unleaded petrol or fuel
containing a maximum of 85 percent
ethanol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine.
Note: you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
When the fuel is changed the engine
must adjust, which may cause minor in-
conveniences for a few minutes (longer
starting times, cutting out, etc.).Fuel grade
Always use a high-grade fuel that
complies with the legislation in force
in each country. It must conform to the
specifications given on label C inside
the fuel filler flap.
Refer to the “Engine specifications”
table in Section 6.
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must conform
to the specifications given on the label
inside fuel filler flap C.
Diesel versions
It is essential to use diesel fuel that con-
forms to the specifications given on the
label inside fuel flap C.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel other-
wise you risk damaging the engine.
