Warning triangle

As a safety precaution, before leaving your
vehicle to set up and install the triangle, switch
on the hazard warning lamps and put on your
high visibility vest.
The triangle can be stored on the back panel of
the boot, attached with straps.
Assembling and placing the
triangle
For versions supplied with a triangle as original
equipment, refer to the illustration above.
For other versions, refer to the assembly
instructions provided with the triangle.
► Put the triangle in place behind the vehicle,
as required by local legislation.
Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before starting to prime the system, it is
essential to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the
fuel tank.
For more information on Refuelling and
on Misfuel prevention (Diesel), please
refer to the corresponding section.
For non-BlueHDi versions, the fuel system
components are located in the engine
compartment, possibly under the removable
cover.
For more information on the Engine
compartment, in particular the location
of these components under the bonnet,
please refer to the corresponding section.
