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

have the option of using up to
four remote controls.

Remote control unit failure

Make sure that the correct battery
type is being used, and that the
battery is in good condition and in­serted correctly. These batteries
should have a service life of approx­imately two years.

When a person, an object or a child
seat prevents the front seats from lock­ing, perform the following operations:
– ask all of the passengers to leave

the vehicle and remove any bulky
objects from the rear seats;

– lock the seat(s) in the initial position

again;

– move the seat(s) forwards in order to

create sufficient space;

– ask the passengers to get back into

the vehicle, and refit the child seat or
objects on the rear seats.

Do not move handle 1 and handle 6
at the same time.

Check that no object or
person prevents the front
seat from locking. If so,

remove any obstacles
behind the front seats. Adjust the
seat to allow sufficient room in the
rear. The rear occupants/objects
should then return to the vehicle.

Repeat the above until the seat is
locked correctly.

Risk of seat moving on its runners
during vehicle acceleration or brak­ing.

Power Assisted Steering

Never drive with an inadequately
charged battery.

Variable power assisted
steering

The variable power assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.

Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).

Adjusting the steering wheel
height and depth

(depending on vehicle)
Pull lever 1 and place the steering

wheel in the required position; push the
lever beyond the point of resistance to
lock the steering wheel in place.

Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.

Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is station­ary.

For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station­ary.

STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING

Never switch off the igni-

tion when travelling down-

hill, and avoid doing so in

normal driving (assistance
is not provided).

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.

1.25

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

SEAT BELTS (1/4)

2

Incorrectly adjusted or
twisted seat belts 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 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.

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 (4/4)

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: 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, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
– 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).

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

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following
an accident.

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

– To avoid incorrect triggering of

the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved Dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.

– 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
air bag gas generators.

Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:

– seat belt inertia reel pretension-

ers;

– lap belt pretensioners;

– chest-level load limiters;

– anti-submarining air bags;

– air bags for driver and front pas-

senger.

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 inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt

slack);
– the front air bag;
– the lap seat belt pretensioners to

hold the occupant in his seat.

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.

In the event of a severe frontal impact
and if the ignition is switched on, the
system may engage the following de­pending on the force of the impact:

– seat belt inertia reel pretensioner 1

which instantly retracts the seat belt;

– lap belt pretensioner 2 on the front

seats or anti-submarining air bag 3.

1.30

Jaune Noir Noir texte

Chest-level and lap belt load
limiters

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.

Anti-submarining air bag

Located on each of the front seats, it
deploys in order to prevent the occu­pant from sliding under the seat belt.

Air bag for driver and front
passenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-

dicated by the word “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle,
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.

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

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

– an electronic unit for system monitor-

ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;

– a single

å warning light on the

instrument panel.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)

A

The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air

bag inflates, it will gener­ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
In a situation where an air bag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor, su­perficial grazing to the skin or other
problems.

1.31

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)

Operating faults

Warning light 4 å will light up on

the instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then go out after a few
seconds.

If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or comes on when the
engine is running, there is a fault in the
system.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re­duced until this fault is rectified.

4

Operation

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

In a severe frontal impact, the air bags
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver’s head and chest against
the steering wheel and of the front pas­senger against the dashboard. The air
bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hin­dered from leaving the vehicle.

1.32

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)

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.
– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified 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

your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag

– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near 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

general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).

– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure

the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS

THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)

Warnings concerning the anti-submarining air bag

Do not let a child under the age of 12 sit in this seat. When triggered, the anti-submarining air bag may project objects left on
the seat base with a great deal of force.
Risk of serious injury.

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 it inflates.

1.33

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS

Force limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of

an acceptable level.

– 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.

– Only qualified personnel from

our Network may work on the air
bags; otherwise the system may
trigger accidentally and cause
injury.

1.34

Side Airbags

This airbag may be fitted to each of the
front seats and is activated at the sides
of the seats (door side) to protect the
occupants in the event of a severe side
impact.

Curtain Airbags

This airbag may be fitted along the top
of each side of the vehicle and is trig­gered along the front and rear side win­dows to protect the passengers in the
event of a severe side impact.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Warning relating to the side airbag

– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe-

cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find out

if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those de­signed for your vehicle (and 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 airbag 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.

– This airbag operates through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never

insert any objects in these slits.

Depending on the vehicle, a mark­ing on the windscreen informs you
of the presence of additional means
of restraint (air bags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compartment.

1.35

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of
the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts 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 airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.

If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags 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 airbag system (airbags, pretensioners, computer,

wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified Network personnel.

– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,

only qualified Network personnel may work on the airbag system.

– As a safety precaution, have the airbag 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 your approved Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag 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 it inflates.

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.

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 anchorage points checked.

To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening

and closing the doors” in Section 1).

Driver ’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle

Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi­cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera­ture inside the passenger compart­ment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

1.37

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.

1.38

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 as long as possible (until the age of
2 at the very least). It supports both the
head and the neck.
Choose a bucket type seat for best side
protection and change it as soon as the
child’s head is higher than the shell.

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 or
buckle for as long as their size permits.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.w

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 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 which can be adjusted in terms
of height to position the seat belt in the
centre of the shoulder. It must never
rest on the neck or on the arm.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.

1.39

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

There are two ways of attaching child
seats: via the seat belt or using the
ISOFIX system.

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

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

Attachment using the ISOFIX
system

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

ing seat;
– ISOFIXsemi-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 consists of 2 rings
and, in some cases, a third ring.

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 from the equipment manufac­turer.

1.40

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

The two rings 1 are located between
the seatback and the seat base of the
seat and are identified by a marking.
To ensure your child seat can be easily
fitted and locked on rings 1, use access
guides 2 on the child seat.

The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child
seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat
belt or other objects to these anchorage points.

Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.

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

The third ring is used to attach the
upper strap on some child seats:

– depending on the vehicle, unclip

mobile floor cover 6 then pass
through strap 3;

– hook 4 must be fitted to ring 5 or

to the ring located under cover 6
marked with

. The strap must

then be tightened.

6

Check that the seatback

of the forward-facing child

seat is in contact with the

back of the vehicle seat.
In this case, the child seat may not
always rest on the base of the vehi­cle seat.

1.41

CHILD SAFETY: Fitting a child seat

Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagram on the follow­ing page shows you how to attach a
child seat.

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

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

locking correctly. Refer to
the information on the “Front seat”
in Section 1.
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):
– 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.

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.

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

Check that the belt is suitable for se­curing your child seat. Consult an ap­proved dealer.

RISK O F DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY: before

installing a rear-facing child

seat in the front passen­ger seat, make sure the airbag has
been deactivated (refer to the infor­mation on “Child safety: front pas­senger airbag deactivation/activa­tion” in Section 1).

Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.

Fuel grade

Use a high grade fuel that complies
with the standards currently in force in
each country.

Diesel version

It is essential to use diesel fuel that
conforms to the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A.
Make sure that no water accidentally
enters the fuel tank during filling. The
closure and its surrounding area must
be dust-free.

Filling the tank

To open cover A, place your finger into
recess B.

When filling, use the cap holder 1 on
the cover A to secure the cap 2.

FUEL TANK (1/2)

After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.

Fuel filler cap: this is spe­cific.

If you have to replace it,

make sure it is identical
to the original cap. 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.

1

Useful capacity of the fuel tank:
55 litres approximately.

The engine 1.2 TCe has a fuel tank
capacity of approximately 40 litres or
55 litres (depending on the vehicle).

Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un­leaded 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 –
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

1.87

Filling up with fuel

With the ignition switched off, insert the
nozzle so that the valve is open and
fully insert the nozzle before engaging
it in order to fill the tank (risk of splash­back).

Keep the nozzle in this position through­out the entire filling operation.

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).

Petrol and diesel versions

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.

Petrol version

It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must con­form with the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A. Refer
to the information on “Engine specifica­tions” in Section 6.

Special features of vehicles running
on ethanol-based fuel:

It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth­anol (E85).

To make it easier to start the engine in
very cold conditions, it is recommended
to use unleaded petrol or, on equipped
vehicles, to use the heater integrated in
the engine.

In this case, connect the special end of
the extension piece supplied into the
socket integrated into the radiator grille
and the other end into a 220V socket
for at least 6 hours before starting.

Note: when using ethanol-based fuel,
you may notice over-consumption.

FUEL TANK (2/2)

No modifications what-

soever are permitted on

any part of the fuel supply

system (electronic unit,
wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protec­tive covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by
qualified Network personnel).

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.
