blade and the screen regularly  
with soapy water;  
– do not use it when the screen is  
dry;  
D

– free it from the screen when it has  
not been used for a long time.  
Special note  
Vehicle fitted with intermittent  
windscreen wipers  
In any event, replace them as soon  
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-  
proximately every year (refer to the  
information on “Wiper blades: re-  
placement” in section 5).  
When driving the vehicle, the wiping  
speed slows down whenever the ve-  
hicle 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.

Precautions for using the  
wipers  
– In freezing or snowy weather,  
clear the screen before starting  
the wipers (risk of motor over-  
heating);  
C intermittent wiping  
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and  
cancels the automatic function.  
The wipers will pause for several  
seconds between sweeps. It is  
possible to change the time be-  
tween sweeps by turning ring 2.

– the rain sensor is only intended  
as a driving aid. In the event of re-  
duced visibility, the driver should  
manually activate the wipers;  
– In foggy weather or during snow-  
falls, wiping is not automatically  
triggered and remains under the  
driver’s control;  
– in the event of temperatures  
below zero, automatic wiping is  
not activated when the vehicle  
is started. It is automatically acti-  
vated as soon as the vehicle ex-  
ceeds a certain speed (approxi-  
mately 5 mph (8 km/h));

C automatic wiper function  
When this position is selected, the  
system detects water on the wind-  
screen and triggers the wipers at a  
suitable wiping speed. It is possi-  
ble to change the triggering thresh-  
old and the time sweeps by turning  
ring 2:

Operating fault  
Special note  
In the event of a malfunction of the  
automatic wiping, the wiper is set to  
intermittent wiping. Contact an au-  
thorised dealer.  
The operation of the rain sensor can  
be disturbed in the event of:  
– damaged windscreen wipers; a  
film of water or traces left by a  
blade in the sensor’s detection  
zone may increase the response  
time of the automatic wipers, or  
increase the wiping frequency;  
– a windscreen with any chip or  
crack level with the sensor, or a  
windscreen covered in dust, dirt,  
When driving the vehicle, the wiping  
speed slows down whenever the ve-  
hicle 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.

insects, ice, the use of washing  
wax and water-repellent chemi-  
cals; the windscreen wiper will  
be less sensitive or may even not  
react at all.  
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry  
screen. This will lead to the prema-  
ture wear or damage to the blades.  
Positions A and D are accessible  
with the ignition on. Positions C  
and E are accessible only with the

Fuel grade  
Filling with fuel  
Use a high-grade fuel that complies  
with the legislation in force in each  
country and which must comply with  
the specifications given on the label on  
the cover A. Refer to the information on  
“Engine specifications” in Section 6.  
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle  
and insert it fully before turning it on to  
fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).  
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and  
Start function  
Keep the nozzle in this position through-  
out the entire filling operation.  
To fill up with fuel, the engine must  
be stopped (and not on standby):  
stop the engine (Please See  
“Starting, stopping the engine” in  
Section 2).  
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 suffi-  
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for  
expansion.  
Make sure that no water enters the fuel  
tank during filling. The cover A and its  
surround must remain clean.  
Petrol version  
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.  
The octane rating (RON) must comply  
with the information given on the label  
on the cover A. Refer to Section 6 for  
information on “Engine specifications”.  
Diesel version  
Only use diesel fuel which complies  
with the information on the label located  
inside the cover A.  
Fuel types that conform to European  
standards with which the engines of  
vehicles sold in Europe are compat-  
ible: refer to the “Engine specifica-  
tions” in section 6.  
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 consists of a restrictor fitted with  
a safety system which only allows  
a nozzle for unleaded petrol to be  
used (at the pump).  
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 anything to the fuel (ad-  
ditive, reagent, etc.) to prevent the  
risk of damaging the engine.
