rest and booster cushion can only be
installed on the rear side seats.
For fitting and use, refer to the equip-
ment instructions.

1.22
ROOF FLAP (1/2)
Driving with the roof flap
open may be unpleasant
for passengers because
exhaust gas may enter the
passenger compartment. This use
is solely for short distances, or for
transporting bulky objects with-
out having to open the rear doors. In
this case, close the other windows
and operate the ventilation system
at the half or fully open setting ,
as this will help to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering the passenger
compartment.
123
Transverse bar
When loading bulky objects, the trans-
verse bar may be moved:
– Press the handle 3;
– lift the bar all the way to the door pillar;
– lock the bar after loading.
To open:
– Unlock the control 2, the roof flap lifts
automatically (make sure that noth-
ing prevents the flap from opening.
In this case, use the handle 1 to help
raise it);
– when the roof flap is open, it must be locked by pushing it towards the
front of the vehicle until the control 2
locks.
Important: It is prohibited to drive with
the roof flap open and unlocked. Note: When driving with the roof flap
open, you may hear wind noise. To
reduce these, open one of the side win-
dows slightly.

TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM: journey parameters (3/4)
Examples of selectionsInterpreting the display selected
c) Mileage before service Distance remaining until the next service (displayed in kilometres),
then when the service nears, several scenarios are possible:
– distance/time less than 1,800 miles (3,000 km) or two months:
the message “SERVICE DUE ” is displayed;
– mileage before service equal to 0 miles (0 km) or service date
reached: the message “SERVICE PROMPTLY” is displayed
when the selected display is “mileage before service”, along
with the symbol
9 and the warning light ©.
The vehicle requires a service as soon as possible.
SERVICE IN
137.7 KM
Note: depending on the vehicle, the mileage before service changes according \
to the driving style (frequent driving at low
speeds, door-to-door, prolonged periods at idle speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next service c
an
therefore, in some cases, be less than the actual distance remaining.
Resetting the display after the service in accordance with the maintenan\
ce schedule.
The mileage before service must only be reset after a service which comp\
lies with the recommendations in the Maintenance
Document.
If you decide to change the oil more frequently, do not reset this data each time the oil is changed to avoid exceeding\
the re-
placement intervals for other parts in the maintenance schedule.
Special features: to reset the mileage before service value, go to the service page (see\
image above) and press and hold one
of the display’s reset buttons for at least 10 seconds until the mileage before service\
value is displayed continuously. Refer to
the information on the “Trip computer and warning system: general information” in Section 2.

SPECIAL FEATURES 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
contact 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 Document.
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.

2.14
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/4)
Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– 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 windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially 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.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.
