SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Precautions to be taken in winter
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
A
– ensure that the battery is always fully
charged;
1
– always keep the diesel tank rela-
tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.
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
After the tank has been filled follow-
ing a complete draining of fuel, the
fuel system must be reprimed: ➥ 1.105
before restarting the engine.
Engine smoke opacity label

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.
