Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at
the end of their service life, which en-
tered into force in 2015.
Some of the parts on your vehicle
have been designed to be recycled
later.These parts are easily removable
in order to be collected and re-
processed in recycling networks.
Furthermore, by virtue of its design,
moderate fuel consumption and initial
settings, your vehicle also conforms to
current anti-pollution regulations. The
manufacturer is actively striving to re-
duce pollutant exhaust gas emissions
and to save energy. However, the fuel
consumption of your vehicle and the
level of pollutant exhaust gas emis-
sions are also your responsibility. En-
sure that it is maintained and used cor-
rectly.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure
to respect anti-pollution regulations
could lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner.
In addition, replacing engine, fuel sup-
ply 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 anti-pollution reg-
ulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an authorised dealer, in
accordance with the instructions given
in your maintenance schedule : they
will have all the equipment necessary
for ensuring that your vehicle is main-
tained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Spark plugs : for optimum condi-
tions of use, output and performance
the specifications laid down by our de-
sign department must be strictly ap-
plied. 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, fuel filter : a choked ele-
ment 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 sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
This warning light on the instru-
ment panel will indicate if 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 an
approved dealer as soon as possible ;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
an authorised dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
