Diesel engine speed
Diesel  engines  are  fitted  with  injection 
equipment which prevents the engine 
speed being exceeded irrespective of 
the gear selected.
If  the  message  “Check  antipollu -
tion”  is  displayed  on  the  instrument 
panel  accompanied  by  the 
Ă„  and 
©warning  light;  consult  an  ap -
proved dealer straight away.
When  driving,  depending  on  the  fuel 
grade  used,  it  is  possible  that  white 
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter 
being  cleaned  automatically,  and  does 
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If  the  tank  has  been  completely 
drained,  the  system  must  be  reprimed 
after the tank is refilled: see information 
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
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.
Precautions to be taken in 
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
–  ensure that the battery is always fully 
charged,
–  always  keep  the  diesel  tank  rela -
tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the 
bottom of the tank.

Advice: antipollution and fuel economy
aDvICe: antipollution, fuel economy and driving  (1/3)
Your  vehicle  complies  with  criteria  for 
recycling and recovering vehicles at the 
end of their service life which will come 
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore  been  designed  to  facilitate  future 
recycling.
These  parts  are  easy  to  remove  so 
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By  virtue  of  its  design,  moderate  fuel 
consumption  and  initial  settings,  your 
vehicle  also  conforms  to  current  anti-
pollution  regulations.  The  manufac -
turer  is  actively  striving  to  reduce  pol -
lutant  exhaust  gas  emissions  and  to 
save  energy.  But  the  fuel  consumption 
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant 
exhaust  gas  emissions  are  also  your 
responsibility.  Ensure  that  it  is  main -
tained and used correctly.aiding fuel economy
Depending  on  the  vehicle,  in  order  to 
optimise consumption, an indicator light 
on the instrument panel will inform you 
of the best moment to upshift or down -
shift gears:
\ shift up a gear;
[ shift down a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to 
respect  antipollution  regulations  could 
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 
regulations. Have  your  vehicle  adjusted  and 
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-
cordance  with  the  instructions  given  in 
your  maintenance  schedule:  they  will 
have  all  the  equipment  necessary  for 
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained 
to its original standard.

applied.
If  the  spark  plugs  have  to  be 
changed,  use  the  make,  type  and

– Avoid sudden acceleration.
–  Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate  an  obstacle  or  bend  in  ad -
vance, you may then simply release 
the accelerator pedal.
–  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  water  is  above  the 
lower  edge  of  the  wheel 
rims.
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.
–  Do  not  overrev  the  engine  in  the  in-
termediate gears.
  Always  use  the  highest  gear  possi -
ble without labouring the engine.
  On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear 
lever in position  D.
exhaust gas monitoring 
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will 
detect  any  operating  faults  in  the  vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If  this  system  malfunctions,  toxic  sub -
stances  may  be  released  into  the  at -
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis  warning  light  on  the  in -
strument  panel  will  indicate  if 
there are any faults in the system:
This  lights  up  when  the  ignition  is 
switched  on  and  goes  out  when  the 
engine is started.
–  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.
obstructions to the driver
On  the  driver ’s  side,  only 
use mats adapted to the ve-
hicle  that  attach  to  the  pre-
installed  parts,  and  regularly  check 
their mounting. Do not place several 
mats on top of each other.

electronic stability control eSC
This  system  helps  you  to  keep  control 
of  the  vehicle  in  critical  driving  condi -
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip 
on a bend, etc.).
operating principle
A  sensor  in  the  steering  wheel  detects 
the direction selected by the driver.
Other  sensors  throughout  the  vehicle 
measure the actual direction.
The  system  compares  driver  input  to 
the  actual  trajectory  of  the  vehicle  and 
corrects  the  trajectory,  if  necessary,  by 
controlling the braking of certain wheels 
and/or  engine  power.  In  the  event  that 
the  system  is  engaged,  warning  light 
 flashes on the instrument panel. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the 
ESC  in  the  case  of  pronounced  under
-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
t raction control (aSR)
This  system  helps  to  limit  wheelspin  of 
the  drive  wheels  and  to  control  the  ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or 
decelerating.
operating principle
Using  the  wheel  sensors,  the  system 
measures  and  compares  the  speed  of 
the drive wheels at all times and slows 
down  their  over-rotation.  If  a  wheel  is 
starting  to  slip,  the  system  brakes  au -
tomatically  until  the  drive  supplied  be -
comes compatible with the level of grip 
under the wheel again.
The  system  also  adjusts  the  engine 
speed  to  the  grip  available  under  the 
wheels,  independently  of  the  pressure 
exerted on the accelerator pedal. operating faults
When  the  system  detects  an  operat

Disabling the  aSR function
In  some  situations  (driving  on  very  wet 
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with 
snow  chains  fitted),  the  system  may 
reduce the engine output to limit wheel -
spin. If this is not required, it is possible 
to  deactivate  the  function  by  pressing 
switch 1.
The  message  “ Traction  control  off ”  is 
displayed  on  the  instrument  panel  to 
inform you.
Traction control (ASR) offers additional 
safety;  it  is  recommended  that  you  do 
not  drive  with  the  function  disabled. 
Correct  this  as  soon  as  possible  by 
pressing switch  1 again.
Note: The  function  is  reactivated  auto-
matically  when  the  ignition  is  switched 
on  or  when  a  speed  of  approximately 
24 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.
emergency brake assist
This  system  supplements  the  ABS 
and  helps  reduce  vehicle  stopping  dis-
tances.
operating principle
The  system  is  for  detecting  an  emer -
gency  braking  situation.  In  this  case, 
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops  maximum  power  and  may  trig -
ger ABS regulation.
ABS  braking  is  maintained  as  long  as 
the brake pedal is applied.

distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
–  if you use the accelerator, when you 
release  it,  the  system  may  be  trig -
gered;
–  if you do not use the accelerator, the 
system will not be triggered.

Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the 
lever  to  position  P  while  keeping  your 
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is 
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
a pply  the  handbrake  or,  depending 
on  the  vehicle,  ensure  that  the  elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
Special circumstances
–  If  the  road  contours  and  bends 
do  not  allow  you  to  stay  in  auto -
matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains), 
we  recommend  that  you  change  to 
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly 
when  climbing,  and  permit  engine 
braking on long descents.
–  In  cold  weather ,  to  prevent  the 
engine  from  stalling,  wait  a  few  mo-
ments  before  shifting  the  selector 
lever  from  position  P  or  N  and  en -
gaging  D or R.
–  vehicles  not  fitted  with  traction 
control:  on  a  slippery  surface  or 
surface  with  a  low  level  of  adhe -
sion,  change  to  manual  mode  and 
select  second  gear  before  starting 
the  engine  to  avoid  wheelspin  when 
starting.
Driving in manual mode
With  the  selector  lever  in  position  D, 
move  the  lever  to  the  left.  Shifting  the 
lever  repeatedly  allows  you  to  change 
gears manually:
–  To  move  down  through  the  gears, 
push the lever backwards;
–  To move up through the gears, push 
the lever forwards.
The  gear  selected  is  displayed  on  the 
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under  certain  driving  conditions  (e.g. 
engine  protection,  electronic  stability 
program  (ESP)  operational  etc.:  ESC), 
the  “automatic  system”  may  change 
gear automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu -
vres, a gear change may be refused by 
the  automatic  system:  in  this  case  the 
gear  display  flashes  for  a  few  seconds 
as a warning.
aUtoMatIC GeaRbox (2/3)
An  impact  to  the  underside 
of  the  vehicle  (e.g.:  striking 
a  post,  raised  kerb  or  other 
street  furniture)  may  result 
in  damage  to  the  vehicle  (e.g.:  de -
formation of an axle).
To  avoid  any  risk  of  accident,  have 
your  vehicle  checked  by  an  ap -
proved Dealer.
In  very  cold  weather,   the  system 
may  prevent  the  gears  from  being 
shifted  in  manual  mode  until  the 
gearbox  reaches  the  right  tempera-
ture.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
AIR coNDITIoNINg:  information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase 
in  fuel  consumption  (especially 
when  driving  in  town)  when  the  air 
conditioning is operating.
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:
Drive  with  the  air  vents  open  and 
the windows closed.
If  the  vehicle  has  been  parked  in 
the  sun,  open  the  doors  for  a  few 
moments  to  let  the  hot  air  escape 
before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document 
for  your  vehicle  for  the  inspection 
frequency.operating faults
As  a  general  rule,  contact  your  ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault:
– reduction  in  de-icing,  demist -
ing  or  air  conditioning  per -
formance.   This  may  be  caused 
by  the  passenger  compartment 
filter cartridge becoming clogged;
–  no  cold  air  is  being  produced.  
Check  that  the  controls  are  set 
correctly  and  that  the  fuses  are 
sound.  Otherwise,  switch  off  the 
system.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning 
off, air recirculation activated, venti-
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you 
may notice that condensation starts 
to  form  on  the  windows  and  wind -
screen.
If  there  is  condensation,  use  the 
“clear View” function to remove it, 
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again. 
If  the  condensation  does  not  clear, 
use the FAST programme.
Do  not  open  the  refriger -
ant  fluid  circuit.   The  fluid 
may damage eyes or skin.
Note
Presence  of  water  under  the  ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air 
conditioning system, it is normal for 
water  to  be  present  under  the  vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.
