Special note

If you wish to check that the doors are

locked after locking using the button 3,

you have approximately three seconds

to try the door handles without unlock-

ing them.

After this delay, the hands-free mode

is activated once again and any move-

ment of a handle will unlock the vehicle.

The hazard warning lights flash twice

and a beep sounds to indicate that the

doors have locked.

The beep may be switched off. Consult

an approved dealer

If a door or the tailgate is open or not

properly closed, or a card is in the

passenger compartment (or the card

reader) the vehicle will not lock. In this

situation, no beep sounds and the

hazard warning lights do not flash.

Locking the vehicle

There are three ways to lock the ve-

hicle: remotely, using the button 3, or

using the RENAULT card.

Remote locking

With the RENAULT card on you, and

doors and tailgate closed, move away

from the vehicle: it will lock automati-

cally once you have left zone 1.

Note: the distance at which the vehicle

locks depends on the surroundings.

If the vehicle is fitted with remote window closing, two quick presses on the button 3 automatically causes all the windows to

close and the doors to lock (please see the information on “Electric windows, Electric sunroof” in Section 3).

With the engine running, if having

once opened and closed a door, the

card is no longer in the passenger com-

partment, the message “Keycard not

detected” (accompanied by a warning

beep once the speed passes a thres-

hold value) will tell you that the card is

no longer in the vehicle. This avoids

you driving away after having dropped

off a passenger who has the card, for

example.

SEAT BELTS (1/3)

Always wear your seat belt when trav-

elling in your vehicle. You must also

comply with the legislation of the par-

ticular country you are in.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-

ing position, then ask all occupants

to adjust their seat belts to ensure

optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving

position

1

– Sit well back in your seat (having

first removed your coat or jacket).

This is essential to ensure your back

is positioned correctly;

Make sure that the rear seats are

locked in position properly so that

the rear seat belts will operate effi-

ciently. Refer to the information on

“rear seat functions” and “adjusting

the rear seats” in Section 3.

– 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 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.

2

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the

seatback.

Seat belts which are incor-

rectly adjusted or twisted

may cause injuries in the

event of an accident.

Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as

possible to the base of the neck but not

on it.

Use one seat belt per person,

whether child or adult.

Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the

thighs and against the pelvis.

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.

The belt should be worn so that it is

as close as possible to your body, ie.:

avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-

ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

SEAT BELTS (3/3)

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: 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.

– 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.

– When refitting the rear seats, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used correctly.

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

jects).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)

Depending on the vehicle, they are

composed of:

– seat belt inertia reel pretension-

ers;

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– No operation whatso-

ever 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.

– lap belt pretensioners;

– chest-level load limiter;

– air bags for driver and front pas-

senger.

These systems are designed to act in-

dependently or together when the vehi-

cle is subjected to a frontal impact.

– 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.

2

Depending on the severity of the

impact, the system can trigger:

1

– seat belt locking;

Pretensioners

– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt

slack);

The pretensioners hold the seat belt

against the body, holding the occupant

more securely against the seat, thus in-

creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.

– The electric trigger system may

only be tested by a specially

trained technician using special

equipment.

– the low volume front air bag;

– the lap belt pretensioners to hold the

occupant in his seat;

In the event of a severe frontal impact

and if the ignition is switched on, the

system may engage the following de-

pending on the force of the impact:

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved Dealer for

disposal of the pretensioner and

air bag gas generators.

– the large volume front air bag.

– the seat belt inertia reel preten-

sioner 1 which instantly retracts the

seat belt;

– the lap pretensioner 2 on the front

seats.

A

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;

– remote sensors;

The air bag system uses

pyrotechnic principles. This

explains why, when the air

and this may cause some minor, su-

perficial grazing to the skin or other

problems.

1.24

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

Operation

This system is only operational when

the ignition is switched on.

Special feature of the front air

bag

After a violent impact, it has two deploy-

ment volumes and integrates a ventila-

tion system:

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 pas-

senger against the dashboard. The air

bags then deflate immediately so that

the passengers are not in any way hin-

dered from leaving the vehicle.

– low volume air bag, this is the first

stage of operation;

– large volume air bag, the air bag

seams rip so that a larger volume of

gas is released into the bag (for the

most severe impacts).

1.25

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

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.

– 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).

– Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: 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 to 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 be sustained.

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)

Force 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.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– No operation whatsoever

is permitted on any part of the

system (air bags, electronic con-

trol units, wiring) and the system

components must not be reused

on any other vehicle, even if iden-

tical.

– Only qualified personnel from

our Network may work on the air

bags; otherwise the system may

trigger accidentally and cause

injury.

1.27

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side air bags

These air bags are fitted to the front

seats and are activated at the sides of

the seats (door side) to protect the oc-

cupants in the event of a severe side

impact.

Curtain air bags

These are air bags fitted along the sides

of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger

along the front and rear side windows

to protect the passengers in case of a

severe side impact.

Warning concerning the side air bag

– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers

specifically 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 (including those designed for another vehicle) may

affect the operation of the air bags 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.

1.28

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.

Operating faults

å

This warning light comes on

when the engine is started and then

goes out after approximately three sec-

onds.

The air bag 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 air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always

possible with air bags.

If it does not come on when the ignition

is switched on or if it stays on, there is a

fault in the system.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon

as possible.

If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-

tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the

vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.

Your protection will be reduced until this

fault is rectified.

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

bag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except

by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

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

gering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel

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 driver’s handbook with the vehicle.

– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the

gas generator(s).

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 vehi-

cle 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 fin-

ished growing. The seat belt alone

would not provide suitable protection.

Use an approved child seat and ensure

you use it correctly.

Driver’s responsibility

when parking or stopping

the vehicle

Never leave an animal,

child or adult who is not self-suffi-

cient 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.

A collision at 30 mph

(50 km/h) is the same

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.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS

INJURY.

To prevent the doors being

opened, use the “Child

safety” device (refer to the

information on “Opening

and closing the doors” in Section 1).

If your vehicle has been involved in

a road accident, replace the child

seat and have the seat belts and

ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

1.30

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

Using a child seat

Set a good example by always fas-

tening 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 traf-

fic.

The level of protection offered by the

child seat depends on its ability to re-

strain 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 ap-

proved dealer to find out which seats

are recommended for your vehicle.

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.

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.

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, espe-

cially if asleep.

1.31

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat

Rear-facing child seats

Forward-facing child seats

Booster cushions

A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier

than that of an adult and its neck is very

fragile. Transport the child in this po-

sition for 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.

The child’s head and abdomen need to

be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-

ing 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.

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 seat-

back 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 must never rest on the neck

or on the arm.

Choose a bucket type seat for optimum

side protection.

side protection.

1.32

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

There are two ways of attaching child

seats: via the seat belt or using the

ISOFIX system.

Attachment using the ISOFIX

system

Before using an ISOFIX

child seat that you pur-

chased for another vehicle,

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-

proved in accordance with regulation

ECE-R44 in one of the three following

scenarios:

– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward-

facing seat;

check that its installation is

authorised. Consult the list of ve-

hicles which can be fitted with the

seat from the equipment manufac-

turer.

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 re-

spected.

– ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat;

– specific.

Always check that the seat belt is cor-

rectly 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.

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.

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 nor-

mally, it will not protect the child.

Consult an approved dealer. Do not

use this seat until the seat belt has

been repaired.

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.

No modifications may be

made to the component

parts of the restraint system

(ISOFIX seat belts, seats

and their mountings) originally fitted.

1.33

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

The rings are located on the floor and

indicated by markings on the luggage

compartment carpet. To access these

anchoring points, push the rear seat

forward and lift the cover if necessary.

1

Note: for 7-seater vehicles, the rings

are located on the luggage compart-

ment floor and are visible.

6

5

In all cases, attach the strap hook to the

corresponding ring (3 and 4 for the rear

side seats and 5 or 6 for the rear centre

seat) and place the seat in the desired

position.

2

Tighten the strap so that the child seat-

back is in contact with the back of the

vehicle seat. Do not make any further

adjustments to the seat position set-

tings.

Attachment using the ISOFIX

system (continued)

The third ring 3, 4 and 5 (for long chas-

sis versions) or 6 (for short chassis ver-

sions) is used to attach the upper strap

on some ISOFIX seats.

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 the 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 ob-

structing the anchorage points.

The child seat strap must

be attached to the corre-

sponding ring.

Do not use any other

mounting point.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage

points checked and replace your child seat.

1.34

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/11)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting

child seats. The diagram on the follow-

ing page shows you how to attach a

child seat.

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travel-

ling 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.

The types of child seats indicated may

not be available. Before using a differ-

ent child seat, check with the manufac-

turer that it can be fitted.

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.

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.

Do not change these settings after the

child seat is installed.

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.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: before

fitting a rear-facing child

seat to this seat, check

that the air bag has been deacti-

vated (refer to the information on

“Child safety: deactivating/activat-

ing the front passenger air bag” in

Section 1).

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.

1.35

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (2/11)

In the rear seat

In the rear centre seat

When fitting a child seat

(Group 2 or 3 booster seat),

check that the seat belts op-

erate (wind) correctly: refer

to Section 1 “Rear seat belts”. If

necessary, adjust the position of the

vehicle 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.

Some child seats are too wide to allow

access to the seat belt buckles. Check

that your child seat can be fitted in this

seat.

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 al-

lowing it to come into contact with the

child seat.

When fitting an ISOFIX child seat in

this place, ensure that the two seat

belt buckles are placed flat under the

child seat, except in the case of booster

seats attached to the ISOFIX locks,

whose fitting is authorised

For the safety of the child in the for-

ward-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 move the seat

backwards as far as possible.

Check that the child seat is resting

against the back of the vehicle seat and

that the headrest of the vehicle is not

obstructing its use.

The floor of your vehicle

has storage spaces. Before

installing a child seat with

a floor support, ensure that

this seat can be correctly installed

by consulting the list of compatible

vehicles supplied with the child seat.

For 7-seater vehicles, the second row

rear seats must be pushed forward

before a child is seated in the third row

rear seats.

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 or “Rear seat operation”

in Section 3.

STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING

Power-assisted steering

Operating faults

The steering may become stiff when

driving or when the steering wheel is

turned repeatedly. This is due to the

power assistance overheating. In this

case, it must be allowed to cool down.

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

1

enhanced safety at high speeds).

Adjusting the steering wheel

height and depth

Pull lever 1 and move the steering

wheel to the required position.

Then, push the lever back fully, beyond

the point of resistance to lock the steer-

ing wheel.

With the engine switched off, or if

there is a system fault, it is still pos-

sible to turn the steering wheel. The

force required will be greater.

Make sure that the steering wheel is

correctly locked.

Never switch off the igni-

tion when travelling down-

hill, and avoid doing so in

normal driving (assistance

is not provided).

For safety reasons, only

adjust the steering wheel

when the vehicle is station-

ary.

Never leave the steering wheel at

full lock while stationary.

falls, wiping is not automatically

triggered and remains under the

driver’s control;

In freezing or snowy weather, clear

the windscreen (including the cen-

tral area located behind the inte-

rior rear-view mirror) and the rear

screen before starting the wipers

(risk of motor overheating).

Operating fault

Special note

When driving the vehicle, the wiping

speed slows down whenever the vehi-

cle stops. For example, fast wiping

speed will slow to normal wiping speed.

As soon as the vehicle moves off,

wiping will return to the speed originally

selected.

In the event of a malfunction of the au-

tomatic wiping, the wiper is set to inter-

mittent wiping. Contact an authorised

dealer.

The operation of the rain sensor can be

disturbed in the event of:

– damaged wiper blades; a screen

of water or traces left by a blade in

the sensor’s detection zone may

increase the response time of the

automatic wiper, or increase the

wiping frequency;

– a windscreen with any chip or

crack level with the sensor, or a

windscreen covered in dust, dirt,

insects, ice, the use of washing

wax and water-repellent chemi-

cals; the automatic wiping will

be less sensitive, or even unres-

ponsive.

If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and

cancels the automatic function.

Precautions

– In the event of ice, check whether the

blades are stuck to the windscreen

before operating the wiping mecha-

nism. If you activate the wipers while

the blades are stuck down with ice,

you may risk damaging both the

blade and the wiper motor.

– Do not activate the wipers on a dry

screen. This will lead to the prema-

ture wear or damage to the blades.

C slow continuous wiping

D fast continuous wiping

In the event of obstacles present

on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,

etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-

ding the central area located behind

the interior rear-view mirror) and

the rear screen before starting the

wipers (risk of motor overheating).

If an object is preventing a blade

from moving, it may stop functio-

ning. Remove the obstacle and

reactivate the wiper using the wiper

stalk.

Before any action involving

the windscreen (washing

the vehicle, de-icing,

cleaning the windscreen,

etc.) return stalk 1 to position A

(stop).

Position C is accessible with the

windscreen washer.

Before any action on the

windscreen (washing the

vehicle, de-icing, cleaning

the windscreen, etc.) return

stalk 1 to position A (park).

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in position A (park).

FUEL TANK (1/3)

Fuel grade

Vehicles running on ethanol-

based fuel

It is essential to use unleaded petrol or

fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-

anol (E85).

In very cold conditions, it may be very

difficult or even impossible to start the

engine. To avoid this problem, use un-

leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,

use the heater integrated in the engine:

connect the special end of the exten-

sion piece supplied into the socket in-

tegrated into the radiator grille and the

other end into a 220V socket for at least

6 hours before starting.

Use a high-grade fuel that complies

with the legislation in force in each

country and which must conform to

the specifications given on the label on

cover B. Please refer to the information

on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.
