Driver’s handbook

Dacia Dokker

Welcome aboard your vehicle

This Driver’s Handbook contains the information necessary:

– for you to familiarise yourself with your vehicle, to use it to its best advantage and to benefit fully from the all the functions and

the technical developments it incorporates.

– to ensure that it always gives the best performance by following the simple, but comprehensive advice concerning regular main-

tenance.

– to enable you to deal quickly with minor faults not requiring specialist attention.

It is well worth taking a few minutes to read this handbook to familiarise yourself with the information and guidelines it contains
about the vehicle and its functions and new features. If certain points are still unclear, our Network technicians will be only too
pleased to provide you with any additional information.

The following symbol will help you when reading this handbook:

To indicate a hazard, danger or safety recommendation.

The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the technical specifications at the time of writing. This hand­book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models, but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the country where the vehicle is sold.

This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to be introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the “approved dealer” is your DACIA dealer.

Enjoy driving your new vehicle.

Driver’s responsibility

Never leave your vehicle
with the keys inside when
leaving a child (or animal)

in the car, even for a short period.
The reason for this is that the child

may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip­ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.

Risk of serious injury.

The key must not be used for any
function other than those described
in the handbook (removing the cap
from a bottle, etc.).

The remote control unit
operating range

This varies according to the environ­ment. It is therefore important when
handling the remote control to ensure
that you do not lock or unlock the ve­hicle by inadvertently pressing the but­tons.

Interference

The presence of certain objects (metal
objects, mobile telephones, or an area
with strong electromagnetic radiation,
etc.) close to the key may create inter­ference and affect the operation of the
system.

Replacement and additional keys
or remote controls

If you lose your remote control key
or require another, you can obtain
one from an approved dealer.
If a remote control or key is re­placed, it will be necessary to take
the vehicle and all of its remote
control keys to an authorised
dealer to reset them.
You may use up to four remote con­trol keys per vehicle.

Remote control key failure

Make sure that the correct battery
type is being used, and that the
battery is in good condition and in­serted correctly. These batteries
have a service life of approximately
two years.
Refer to the information on “Radio
frequency remote control: Batteries”
in Section 5.

Risk of injury.

1.17

SEAT BELTS (1/4)

Always wear your seat belt when trav­elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par­ticular country you are in.

Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi­ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.

Seat belts which are incor­rectly adjusted or twisted
may cause injuries in the

event of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.

Before starting, first adjust your driv­ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving
position

– Sit well back in your seat (having

first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;

– adjust the distance between the

seat and the pedals. Your seat

should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;

– adjust the position of your head-

rest. For the maximum safety, your

head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;

– adjust the height of the seat. This

adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;

– adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.

Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.

Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis.

The seat belt should be worn so that
it is as close as possible to your body,
i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or
keeping bulky objects under the belts,
etc.

SEAT BELTS (4/4)

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and

their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.

– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too

loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around

them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as

they show any signs of wear.
– When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used prop-

erly.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-

cured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob-

jects).

1.21

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)

Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:

– seat belt pretensioners;
– chest force limiters;
– front airbags for driver and front

passenger.

These systems are designed to act in­dependently or together when the vehi­cle is subjected to a frontal impact.

Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:

– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt pretensioner (which en-

gages to correct seat belt slack);

– the air bag and the force limiter are

also triggered when there are severe
impacts.

1

Pretensioners

The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in­creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.

With the ignition on, following a signif­icant 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.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following
an accident.

– No operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (air bags, electronic con­trol units, wiring) and the system
components must not be reused
on any other vehicle, even if iden­tical.

– To avoid premature triggering

of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Network per­sonnel are authorisedto work on
the methods of restraint in addi­tion to the front seat belt.

– 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
airbag gas generators.

1.22

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)

Load limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.

1

Driver’s and passenger air
bags

They are fitted on the driver’s side and,
depending on the vehicle, on the pas­senger side.

Depending on the vehicle, the pres­ence of this equipment is indicated by
the word “airbag” on the steering wheel
and dashboard (airbag zone 1) and
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.

Each air bag system consists of:
– an airbag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driver
and, depending on the vehicle, in the
dashboard for the front passenger;

– an electronic unit for system monitor-

ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;

– a single warning light
– remote sensors.

The air bag system uses

pyrotechnic principles. This

explains why, when the air

bag inflates, it will gener-

ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
An air bag may inflate immediately,
causing some minor, superficial
grazing to the skin or other discom­fort.

Operation

This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.

If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushion­ing the impact of the driver’s head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers are
not impeded in any way when they get
out of the vehicle.

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent
the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag

– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.

– You must not remove the steering wheel (such work must only be performed by trained personnel from our Network).
– When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag

– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard in the proximity of the air bag
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).

– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In

IT IS PROHIBITED TO FIT A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT HAVE BEEN DEACTIVATED.

(Refer to the information on “Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation/activation” Section 1).

1.25

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side air bags

These air bags may be fitted to the front
seats and are deployed at the sides of
the seats (door side) to protect the oc­cupants in the event of a severe side
impact.

Warnings concerning the side air bag

– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe-
cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an authorised dealer to find

out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those
designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) may
affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.

– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the

door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly
or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal

fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

1.26

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any
way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused
by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. The air
bag and the seat belt are integral parts of the same protection system. It
is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not

worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event
of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring
when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible
with air bags.

If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre­tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside of the
vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the

driver or passenger air bag system (air bag, electronic unit, wiring, etc.), except
by qualified personnel from our Network.

– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental trig-

gering of the system which could cause injury, only qualified personnel from
our Network may work on the air bag system.

– As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has

been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.

– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand

over this handbook with the vehicle.

– When scrapping your vehicle, contact an approved Dealer for advice on dis-

posing of the gas generator and air bags.

Operating faults

This warning light 1 will light up on the
instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on and then go out after a few
seconds.

If it does not come on when the ignition
is switched on, or if it comes on when
the engine is running, there is a fault
with the system (air bags, pretension­ers, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.

Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible. The efficiency of protection
will be reduced until this fault is recti­fied.

1.27

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying children

Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi­cle are your responsibility.

A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin­ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.

To prevent the doors being

opened, use the “Child

safety” device (refer to the

information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).

A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same
as falling a distance of

10 metres. Transporting a
child without a restraint is the equi­valent of allowing him or her to play
on a fourthfloor balcony without rail­ings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX fittings checked.

Special features of LPG
versions

The vehicle’s LPG installa-

tion may lead to changes to
the vehicle’s features compared to
the petrol version.

This may relate to the number of
seats and the installation of child
seats.

Please contact an authorised dealer.

Never leave a child unat-

tended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is

always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid
wearing bulky clothing which could
cause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head or
arms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey , espe­cially if asleep.

1.28

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

Using a child seat

The level of protection offered by the
child seat depends on its ability to re­strain your child and on its installation.
Incorrect installation compromises the
protection it offers the child in the event
of harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, check
that it complies with the regulations for
the country you are in and that it can
be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap­proved dealer to find out which seats
are recommended for your vehicle.

Before fitting a child seat, read the
manual and respect its instructions. If
you experience any difficulties during
installation, contact the manufacturer
of the equipment. Keep the instructions
with the seat.

Set a good example by always fas­tening your seat belt and teaching
your child:
– to strap themselves in correctly;
– to always get in and out of the car

at the kerb, away from busy traf­fic.

Do not use a second-hand child
seat or one without an instruction
manual.
Check that there are no objects in
the vicinity of the child seat which
could impede its operation.

Never leave a child unat­tended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is

always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid
wearing bulky clothing which could
cause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head or
arms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey , espe­cially if asleep.

1.29

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat

Rear-facing child seats

A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier
than that of an adult and its neck is very
fragile. Transport the child in this po­sition for as long as possible (until the
age of 2 at the very least). It supports
the head and neck. Choose a bucket
type seat for better side protection and
replace it as soon as the child’s head
extends past the seat shell.

1.30

Forward-facing child seats

The child’s head and abdomen need to
be protected as a priority . A forward-fac­ing child seat which is firmly attached to
the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact
to the head. Ensure your child travels in
a forward-facing seat with a harness for
as long as their size permits. Choose
a wrap-around seat for better side pro­tection.

Booster cushions

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can
travel using a booster seat, which will
enable the seat belt to be adapted
to suit his/her size and shape. The
booster seat cushion must be fitted with
guides to position the seat belt on the
child’s thighs rather than the stomach.
It is recommended that you use a seat­back fitted with a belt strap guide which
can be adjusted in terms of height to
position the seat belt in the centre of
the shoulder. It should never rest on the
neck or over the arm. Choose a bucket
type seat for better side protection.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child/baby seat mounting (1/2)

Attachment via the seat belt

The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.

Ensure that the strap paths indicated
by the child seat manufacturer are re­spected.

Always check that the seat belt is cor­rectly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
child seat.

Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.

Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window.

Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base

of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.

The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the

shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor­mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved Dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.

No modifications may be

made to the component

parts of the restraint system

(belts, ISOFIX and seats
and their mountings) originally fitted.

Attachment with the ISOFIX system

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap­proved in accordance with regulation
ECE-R44 in one of the three following
scenarios:
– ISOFIX universal 3 point forward-

facing seat;
– ISOFIX semi-universal 2 point seat;
– specific.

For the latter two, check that your child
seat can be installed by consulting the
list of compatible vehicles.

Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.

The ISOFIX system is made up of three
rings - one for each rear seat.

Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur­chased for another vehicle,

check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of ve­hicles which can be fitted with the
seat with the equipment manufac­turer.

Anchorages 3 must be used

to attach the child seat’s

upper strap.

It is forbidden to use other
mounting points to attach this strap.

The two ISOFIX rings 1 are located be­tween the seatback and the base and
are present on each side of the vehicle.

To ensure your child seat can be easily
fitted and locked on rings 1, use access
guides 2 on the child seat.

1.32

The third ring 3 of each rear seat is
used to attach the upper strap on some
child seats.

Attach the hook on the belt to one of
the 3 rings located at the back of the
rear seats, at the base of each seat­back.

Pull the belt so that the back of the child
seat comes into contact with the back
of the vehicle seat.

The ISOFIX anchorage

points have been exclu-

sively designed for child

seats with the ISOFIX
system. Never fit a different type of
child seat, seat belt or other objects
to these fittings.

Check that nothing is obstructing
the anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, have the ISOFIX
fittings checked and replace your
child seat.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/7)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagrams on the fol­lowing pages show you how to attach
a child seat.

The types of child seats indicated may
not be available. Before using a differ­ent child seat, check with the manufac­turer that it can be fitted.

Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.

Check that when installing

the child seat in the vehicle
it is not at risk of coming loose from
its base.

If you have to remove the headrest,
check that it is correctly stored so
that it does not come loose under
harsh braking or impact.

Always attach the child seat to the
vehicle even if it is not in use so that
it does not come loose under harsh
braking or impact.

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travel­ling in the front passenger seat differ in
every country. Consult the legislation in
force and follow the indications on the
diagram on the following page.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if
authorised):

– deactivate the front passenger air

bag;
– lower the seat belt as far as possible;
– move the seat as far back as possi-

ble;
– gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°);
– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.
Do not change these settings after the

child seat is installed.

RISK OF DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY: before

fitting a rear-facing child

seat in this seat, check
that the air bag has been deacti­vated (refer to the information on
“Deactivating the front passenger
air bags” in Section 1).

1.33

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (2/7)

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 his or her
feet nearest the door.

Before fitting a child seat to the ISOFIX
anchorages on the rear side seat,
ensure that the seat belt buckles are
not positioned between the two ISOFIX
anchorages on this seat. If necessary,
move the buckle from the seat in ques­tion towards the centre of the vehicle.

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 al­lowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.

For the safety of the child in the for­ward-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.

Check that the forward-facing child seat
is resting against the back of the vehi­cle seat and that the headrest of the ve­hicle is not obstructing its use.

Rear centre seat

A child seat may only be fitted in this
seat if it is equipped with an inertia-reel
seat belt. For any additional informa­tion, contact an approved dealer.

Ensure that the child seat
or the child’s feet do not
prevent the front seat from
locking correctly.

Capacity of the fuel tank: 50 litres ap-

The cap A can be unlocked with the

ignition key.
For details on filling the fuel tank, refer

to the information on “Filling with fuel”.
There is a cap holder 1 on the fuel filler

flap for holding the cap when the tank is
being filled.

Depending on the vehicle, the B hook
prevents the sliding side door from ope­ning fully.

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 any additives to the fuel,
you risk damaging the engine.

Fuel filler cap: this is spe-

cific to the vehicle type. If

you have to replace it, make

sure the new cap is of the
same type. Contact an approved
dealer.

Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.

Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.

Fuel grade

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.

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 difficult
or even impossible to start the engine.
To avoid this problem, use unleaded
petrol.

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 in­conveniences for a few minutes (longer
starting times, cutting out, etc.).

Do not wash the filler
area with a high-pressure
washer.

1.65

FUEL TANK (2/5)

Petrol version

It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) should match
the information given on the label C lo­cated inside the fuel filler flap.

Diesel versions

It is essential to use diesel fuel that
conforms to the specifications given on
the label inside fuel flap C.

Filling with fuel

With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to
open the valve and insert it fully before
turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of
splashing).

Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi­cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.

Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The valve and its sur­round must remain clean.

Petrol versions

Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.

To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows

the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).

Persistent fuel odour

If you notice a persistent
fuel odour you should:

– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-

fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;

– switch on the hazard warning

lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;

– contact an approved Dealer.

1.66

FUEL TANK (3/5)

LPG versions

Useful capacity of fuel tank: approx.
32 litres.

Filling up with LPG

Engage the handbrake, stop the engine,
switch off the ignition and switch off the
lights.

Always respect the safety instructions
given at filling stations.

When filling the tank, add the desired
quantity of LPG.

When the pump stops delivering LPG,
or when the pump flow reduces signi­ficantly, the maximum LPG level has
been reached.

At this point, do not attempt to carry on
filling.

If you exceed the LPG tank capacity when filling completely, please go
to an accredited garage or your authorised dealer to check the automatic
filler device.

Filling stations without self-service

If service station staff fill your vehicle

Before travelling to another country,
please consult an authorised dealer.

the LPG filler 4.

Carefully follow the information explai­ning how to refill using the LPG distri­butor.

When the pump finishes or if it has dif­ficulties operating, this means that the
maximum tank fill level (80%) has been
reached.

The filling will stop as soon as you re­lease the button. Release the stop
lever (a small amount of gas may be re­leased), lift the pistol and place it on the
distributor.

Running out of fuel on diesel
versions

Vehicle with priming bulb 5

After a breakdown caused by comple­tely running out of fuel, the system must
be reprimed before the engine is res­tarted:

Operate priming bulb 5 until the fuel
flows through the hose 6.

If the engine does not start after several
attempts, contact an approved dealer.

Vehicles without a manual priming
bulb

Put the ignition key in “Ignition On” (M)
position and wait a few minutes before
starting. This will enable the fuel circuit
to be primed. If the engine does not
start, repeat the procedure.

No modifications what-

soever are permitted on

any part of the fuel supply

system (computers, wiring,
fuel circuit, injector, protection
covers, etc.) as this may be dan­gerous (such work must be under­taken by qualified Network person­nel).

The engine may be hot

when working in close proxi-

mity. In addition, the engine

cooling fan may come on at
any moment.

2.1

RUNNING IN, IGNITION SWITCH

Petrol version

For the first 600 miles (1,000 km), do
not exceed 78 mph (130 km/h) in the
highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.

You may only expect top performance
from your vehicle after approximately

1,800 miles (3,000 km).
Oil change frequency: please refer to

your vehicle’s maintenance document.

Diesel version

For the first 1,000 miles (1,500 km),
do not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in
the highest gear, or 2,500 rpm. After
completing this mileage you may drive
faster, although you may only expect
top performance after approximately
3,600 miles (6,000 km).

During the running in period, do not ac­celerate hard while the engine is still
cold and do not let the engine over-rev.

Service intervals: refer to the
Maintenance Document for your vehi­cle.

Ignition on position M

The ignition is switched on:
– petrol version: the engine may be

started.

– diesel version: the engine is pre-

heating.

Start position D

If the engine fails to start at the first at­tempt, turn the key back before activat­ing the starter again.

Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.

Stop and steering lock
position St

To lock: remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until the steering column
locks.

To unlock: turn the key and the steering
wheel slightly.

Accessories position A

When the ignition is switched off, any
accessories (radio, etc.) will continue to
function.

2.2

STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE

Starting the engine

In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.

When starting the engine, if the outdoor
temperature is very low (below -10°C):
hold down the clutch pedal until the
engine starts.

Petrol injection
– Activate the starter without depres-

sing the accelerator.

– Release the key as soon as the

engine starts.

É

“On” position M, and hold this position
until the preheating warning light goes
out.

Move the key to “Start” position D wi­thout accelerating. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts.

Diesel injection

Turn the ignition key to ignition

LPG versions

The engine is always started using
petrol:

– activate the starter without accelera-

ting;

– release the key as soon as the

engine starts.

The system will automatically deter­mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.

When operating on LPG, the fuel gauge
may indicate a drop in the petrol level
and the on-board computer will not
operate.

Every 3,000 miles driven using LPG,
drivers are recommended to drive for
around 3 to 6 miles in petrol mode.

To enable the system to operate
smoothly and to prevent any wear to
the vehicle’s electric petrol pump, the
petrol tank should always be around
1/4 full.

Stopping the engine

With the engine idling, turn the key
back to “Stop” position St.

Special note

Depending on the vehicle, accessories
(e.g. radio) stop working either when
the engine is switched off or when the
doors are locked, or when the driver’s
door is opened.

Never leave your vehi­cle with the key or remote
control inside and never
leave a child (or a pet) un-

supervised, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child

may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip­ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.

Risk of serious injury.

Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely. Once the engine has

stopped, the brake servo, power as­sisted steering and passive safety
equipment such as air bags will no
longer operate.

The steering is locked when the key
is removed.

2.3

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS

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 car­ried out as soon as possible by an ap­proved dealer.

These faults may be avoided by regu­larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Document.

Starting problems

To avoid damaging the catalytic con­verter, 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.

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.

2.4

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS

Diesel engine speed

Diesel engines are fitted with an injec­tion pump which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.

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
restarting the engine.

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 con­densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.

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 a hot exhaust system.

2.5

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (1/3)

LPG vehicles

These vehicles operate using petrol or
LPG.
They have two separate tanks.

What is LPG?

LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum
Gas.
It can be readily identified by its charac­teristic smell.

An LPG installation on
a vehicle may lead to
changes to the vehicle’s

features, compared to
petrol versions. This may relate to
the number of seats, mass (usable
capacity) and towing capacity.

Contact an authorised dealer.

The red warning light indicates that
the tank is almost empty and that the
engine is operating using the fuel tank
(approximately 11 to 13 litres).

If the yellow warning light is
on while the green warning
light flashes slowly and a

beep is heard, please take
your vehicle to an authorised dealer
for inspection.

Petrol mode is indicated by the yellow
warning light B.

Automatic switch to petrol

The system automatically switches to
petrol mode if there is no more LPG re­maining in the tank. You will be infor­med by:
– the green D and yellow B warning

lights coming on;

– a beep sounds.
Pressing control C stops the beep from

sounding and only the yellow warning
light B stays on.

B

Operating fault

In the event of a fault which may affect
the correct operation of the engine, the
system automatically switches from
LPG to petrol mode.

This is confirmed by:
– the appearance of the yellow war-

ning light B;

– slow flashing of the green warning

light D;

– a beep sounds.

If the yellow warning light is

on while the green warning

light flashes slowly and a

beep is heard, please take
your vehicle to an authorised dealer
for inspection.

2.7

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (3/3)

If driving under severe
conditions

If driving under severe conditions (hea­vily laden vehicle, high outside tempe­rature, starting on a steep slope, etc),
you are recommended to switch to
petrol mode.

In the event of an accident

The main precautions to be taken are
the same as with petrol vehicles:
– apply the handbrake;
– stop the engine (a safety device that

stops LPG from entering the engine

is automatically triggered);
– switch off the ignition;
– observe local regulations.

LPG has a very specific
smell so you will be able to
detect any leaks easily. If

you smell gas in your vehi­cle or immediately surrounding your
vehicle:
– switch to petrol mode immedia-

tely and make sure there are no
flames or sources of fire near the
vehicle;

– go to an authorised dealer.

2.8

Do not touch, hit or dis-

mantle any part of the LPG

system components.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (1/4)

Fuel consumption is accredited in ac­cordance with a standard regulatory
method. Identical for all manufactur­ers, this enables vehicles to be com­pared with one another. Consumption
in real time depends on vehicle usage
conditions, the equipment fitted and the
user’s driving style. To optimise fuel
consumption, please refer to the follow­ing advice.

Depending on the vehicle, you will have
various functions which enable you to
lower your fuel consumption:

– the rev counter;
– gear change indicator;
– ECO mode activated by button ECO.

1

Gear change indicator 1

Depending on the vehicle, to obtain op­timum consumption levels, a warning
light on the instrument panel lets you
know the best time to move up or down
a gear:

Š move up a gear;
‰ move down a gear.

2.9

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/4)

2

ECO mode

ECO mode is a function which opti-

mises fuel consumption. Depending
on the vehicle, this acts on certain con­sumption elements, such as the engine.

Activating the function

Press switch 3.
The 2

 warning light comes on on

the instrument panel to confirm activa­tion.

2.10

3

While driving, it is possible to leave the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im­prove engine performance.

To do this, press the accelerator pedal
firmly and fully.

ECO mode is reactivated when you
take pressure off the accelerator pedal.

Disabling the function

Press switch 3.
The 2  light goes out on the in-

strument panel to confirm deactivation.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/4)

– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-

ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad­vance, 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:

Driving advice, Eco-driving

Behaviour

– 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.
You should always use the highest

gear possible.

Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.

Obstructions to the driver

On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the

vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.

There is a risk of wedging the
pedals

2.11

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/4)

Tyres

– An underinflated tyre increases fuel

consumption.

– The use of non-recommended tyres

can increase fuel consumption.

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 (es­pecially 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 mo­ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.

– Do not leave an empty roof rack

fitted to the vehicle.

– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-

jects.

– When towing a caravan, fit a wind

deflector and adjust it carefully.

– Avoid using the car for door-to-door

calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.

2.12

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE

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 there­fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.

These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc­essed by recycling companies.

By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti­pollution regulations. The manufac­turer is actively striving to reduce pol­lutant 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 main­tained and used correctly.

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 manufactu­rer may alter your vehicle so that it no
longer complies with antipollution regu­lations.

Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac­cordance 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.

Engine adjustments

– Spark plugs: for optimum condi-

tions of use, output 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
authorised dealer for this.

– Air filter: a choked element will

reduce efficiency. It must be re­placed.

– Ignition and idle speed: no adjust-

ment is needed.

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 sub­stances may be released into the at­mosphere or damage may occur.

Ä

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

– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed

This warning light on the in­strument panel will indicate if

an approved Dealer as soon as pos­sible;

until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.

2.13

ENVIRONMENT

Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of
the manufacturer eco² signature.

Manufacture

Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact
on the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis­sions and waste water; sorting and re­using waste).

Emissions

Your vehicle has been designed to emit
fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) while in
use, and therefore to consume less fuel
(eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 5.3 l/100
km for a diesel vehicle).

Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a cata­lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre­vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).

For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.

Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too

– Worn parts replaced in the course of

routine vehicle maintenance (vehi­cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter­ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations.

– At the end of the vehicle’s service

life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.

– In all cases, comply with local legis-

lation.

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.

To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de­signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.

In order to preserve raw material re­sources, this vehicle incorporates nu­merous parts made from recycled plas­tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).

2.14

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)

Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures

This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure

needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a

load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking

the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.

Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).

Operating principle

Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla­tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure while driving.

Warning light

cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are cold, the recom­mended pressures should be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Replacing wheels/tyres

This system requires specific equip­ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about available ac­cessories compatible with the system
and available from your dealer net­work: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the

Selecting reverse gear

(vehicle stationary)

Follow the grid marked on knob 1 and,
depending on the vehicle, lift the ring
against the knob to engage reverse
gear.

The reversing lights will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected with
the ignition on.

An impact to the under­side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-

ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor­mation of an axle).

To prevent any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
approved dealer.

2.18

HANDBRAKE/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING

1

Handbrake

To release

Pull lever 1 up slightly, press button 2
and then lower the lever to the floor.
The red warning light on the instrument
panel will come on if you are driving
with an incorrectly released handbrake.

Make sure that the hand­brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator

light off), otherwise over­heating, or even damage, may
occur.

To apply

Pull lever 1 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.

Depending on the gradient
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary when station-

at least a further two notches and
engage a gear (1

ary to apply the brake by

st

or reverse gear).

Power-assisted steering

With the engine running, do not leave
the steering wheel at full lock while sta­tionary as this may damage the power­assisted 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 re­quired will be greater.

Never switch off the igni­tion when travelling down­hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance

is not provided).

2.19

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/3)

Depending on the vehicle, this is com­posed of:

– of the ABS (anti-lock braking

system);

– of the electronic stability control

ESC with understeer control and
traction control ASR;

– emergency brake assist wi th, de-

pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation;

These functions are an ad-

ditional aid in the event of

critical driving conditions,

enabling the vehicle behav­iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.

However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do

not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,

they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil­ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).

ABS (anti-lock braking
system)

Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi­cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par­ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any
way improve the vehicle’s physical per­formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. It is still essential to
follow the rules of good driving practice
(such as driving at a safe distance from
the vehicle in front, etc.).

Electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control
and traction control ASR

Electronic stability control ESC

This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi­tions (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, indicator light

 flashes on the instrument panel.

Understeer control

This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under­steering (loss of front axle road hold­ing).

Traction control ASR

This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve­hicle 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 au­tomatically until the drive supplied be­comes 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 operating
fault, the

lights on the instrument panel come on.
In this case, the ESC and ASR are de­activated.

Consult an approved dealer.

Disabling the function ASR

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 wheel­spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1. In this case, the warning light

 comes on, on the instrument

panel. This action does not deactivate
the ESC.

The 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 auto­matically when the ignition is switched
on or when a speed of approximately
30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.

Emergency brake assist

This is an additional system to ABS
which helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.

Operating principle

The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In this case, the brak­ing assistance immediately develops
maximum power and may trigger ABS
regulation.

ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is not released.

Hazard warning lights switching on

Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel­eration.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating
fault, the warning light

played on the instrument panel.
Consult an approved dealer.

Braking anticipation

Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma­noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.

The speed limiter function helps you
stay within the driving speed limit that
you choose, known as the limit speed.

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Limit speed activation, storage and

increase switch (+).

3 Decreasing the limit speed (-).
4 Activation and recall of memorised

limit speed (R).

5 Speed limiter function standby (with

limited speed memory) (O).

Switching on

Press the side switch 1 . Indicator
light 6 comes on, lit orange, and the
message “LIMIT” appears on the instru­ment panel, accompanied by dashes to
indicate that the speed limiter function
is activated and waiting to store a lim­ited speed.
To store the current speed, press
switch 2 (+): the limit speed will replace
the dashes.
The minimum stored speed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.

Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelera­tor pedal will allow you to exceed
the programmed speed except in an
emergency (refer to information on
“Exceeding the limit speed”).

Varying the limit speed

The limit speed may be changed by re­peatedly pressing:

– switch 2 (+) to increase speed;
– switch 3 (-) to reduce speed.

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any time. To do this: press the accel­erator pedal firmly and fully (beyond
the resistance point).

While the speed is being exceeded, the
programmed speed displayed on the
instrument panel flashes.

Then, release the accelerator: the
speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed.

Limited speed cannot be maintained

If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limit speed: the stored speed will flash
on the instrument panel information dis­play to inform you of this situation.

The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the brak­ing system.
