Running in/Ignition switch
Ignition on position M
The ignition is switched on:
– p
etrol version : you may start the
engine;
– d
iesel version : the engine is pre-
heating.

Petrol version
For the first 600 miles (1,000 km) do
not exceed 54 mph (90 km/h) in the
highest gear.
You may only expect top performance
from your vehicle after approximately
1,800 miles (3
000 km).

Maintenance Service Booklet for the
vehicle.
Diesel version
Up to 900 miles (1,500 km) , do not
e
xceed 2,500 rpm or approximately
5
4 mph (90 km/h) in the highest gear.
After completing this mileage you may
drive faster, although you may only
expect top performance after approxi-
mately 3,600

miles (6,000 km).
During the running in period, do not ac-
celerate hard while the engine is still
cold and do not let the engine over-rev.

St ARtING/StoPPING thE ENGINE
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key inside and
never leave a child (or pet)
unsupervised, even for a
short time.
There is a risk that they could start
the engine or operate electrical
equipment (electric windows etc.)
and trap part of their body (neck,
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has stopped completely.
Switching off the engine disables
the assistance equipment: brakes,
steering, etc., and passive safety
equipment such as air bags and
pretensioners.

SPEcIAl fEA tURES of PEtRol vERSIoNS
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.
The following operating conditions
should be avoided:
–
driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
–

using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives
which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
–
faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
disconnected spark plugs resulting
in the engine misfiring or cutting out
when driving;
–

loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. 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
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
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
cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.

Advice on antipollution, fuel economy and driving
ADvIcE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
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 speed: this does not require ad-
justment.
–

Air filter, diesel filter: a choked el-
ement hinders performance. It must
be replaced.
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect
antipollution regulations may 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
standards.
Have your vehicle checked and ad-
justed by an approved Dealer in ac-
cordance with the instructions in your
Maintenance Service Booklet. Your
Dealer has all the equipment necessary
for ensuring that your vehicle is main-
tained to its original standard.
Your vehicle has been designed to
actively strive to reduce the pollutant
exhaust gas emissions and to save
energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle conforms to current antipollu-
tion regulations. But the fuel consump-
tion of your vehicle and the level of pol-
lutant exhaust gas emissions are also
your responsibility. Make sure that your
vehicle is maintained and used cor-
rectly.

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.
ÄThe instrument panel warning
light shows any system faults:
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after 3 sec-
onds.
–
if it lights up continuously, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
–

if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
ADvIcE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
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. –

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 possible without labour-
ing the engine.
–

Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
–

Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off 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.

It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.

For more information, press the trip
mileage recorder reset button.
The squares which appear on the dis-
play indicate the level. These symbols
disappear as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by dashes.
engIne OIL LeveL: general information (1/2)
The display only warns the
driver if the oil level is at the
minimum level. It does not
inform the driver that the oil
level has exceeded the maximum
level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes. However, contact an
approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres
is being consumed every 600 miles
(1,000 km) after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the
vehicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
t h

e dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only alerts
the driver when the oil level is at its min-
imum.
