It is normal for an engine to use oil for

lubrication and cooling of moving parts

and it is sometimes necessary to top up

the level between oil changes.
However, contact your approved dealer

if more than 0.5 litres is being con-

sumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) after

the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil

level from time to time and certainly

before any long journey to avoid the

risk of damaging your engine.
The vehicle must be parked on level

ground and the engine should have

been switched off for some time before-

hand to obtain an accurate reading.

Engine oil level: general information

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information

Reading the oil level

– Remove dipstick 1 and wipe with a

clean, lint-free cloth;

– push in the dipstick as far as it will

go;

– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall

below minimum mark B or exceed

maximum mark A.

Once the level has been read, push the

dipstick in as far as it will go.

Exceeding the maximum engine

oil level
The oil level should only be read with

the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum

level,

do not start your vehicle and

contact an approved dealer.

Under no circumstances

must maximum fill level

A be exceeded: risk of

damage to the engine and

catalytic converter.

Consult your approved dealer at

once if you notice an abnormal or

repeated drop in any of the fluid

levels.

In order to prevent splashback, it is

recommended that a funnel be used

when topping up/filling with oil.

Topping up/filling

The vehicle must be parked on level

ground and the engine should be cold

(for instance, before the engine is

started up for the first time in the day).

Engine oil grade

Refer to the Maintenance Service

Booklet for your vehicle.

– Unscrew cap 2;

– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-

pacity between the minimum and

maximum reading on dipstick 1 is

between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending

on the engine);

– wait approximately 10 minutes to

allow the oil to flow into the engine;

– check the level using dipstick 1 (as

described above).

Once the level has been read, push the

dipstick in as far as it will go.

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in the park position.

as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes

onto hot engine components.

Engine oil change: if you

are changing the oil when

the engine is hot, be careful

not to scald yourself if the

oil overflows.

The engine may be hot

during operations in close

proximity. In addition, the

engine cooling fan may

come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

Consult an approved dealer at once

if you notice an abnormal or re-

peated drop in any of the fluid levels.

Resetting the alert after an oil

change

(depending on the vehicle)
If you change the oil yourself, you will

need to reset the oil change warning.

To do this, after switching on the igni-

tion, for ten seconds you must:

– Depress the accelerator pedal fully,

– with your foot on the accelerator, de-

press the brake pedal three times in

succession.

Reinitialisation is complete when the

#

indicator light goes out. If this is

not the case, repeat the operation.
Special case: if you change the oil

before the oil change interval exceeded

warning is displayed, it will also be nec-

essary to reset the display. In this case,
the

#

warning light comes on for

approximately 5 seconds to confirm the

reset.

Never run the engine in an

enclosed space as exhaust

gases are poisonous.

Replacing the battery

As this operation is complex, we advise

you to contact an approved dealer.

Handle the battery with

care as it contains sulphu-

ric acid, which must not

come into contact with eyes

or skin. If it does, wash the affected

area with plenty of water and see a

doctor if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot

objects and sparks do not come into

contact with the battery as there is a

risk of explosion.

Bodywork maintenance

BODyWORK MAINTENANCE

(1/3)

A well-maintained vehicle will have a

longer service life. It is therefore ad-

visable to maintain the vehicle exterior

regularly.

Protection against the effects

of corrosive agents

Although your vehicle has been treated

with very effective anti-corrosion prod-

ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to

the effects of:
– corrosives in the atmosphere

– atmospheric pollution (urban and

industrial areas);

– saline atmosphere (near the sea,

particularly in hot weather);

– seasonal and damp climatic con-

ditions, (e.g.: road salt in winter,

water from road cleaners, etc.).

– abrasives

Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,

road grit thrown up by other vehi-

cles, etc.

– minor impacts

You should take a minimum number of

precautions in order to safeguard your

vehicle against such risks and not to

lose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti-

corrosion protection.

you should not:

– Degrease or clean mechanical com-

ponents, underneath the body, parts

with hinges (eg. fuel filler cap, inside

the fuel flap) and painted plastic ex-

ternal fittings (eg. bumpers) using

high-pressure cleaning equipment

or by spraying on products not ap-

proved by our Technical Department.

If adequate precautions are not

taken, this could cause corrosion or

lead to operational faults.

– Aim a high pressure water jet directly

onto damaged parts of the vehicle

(eg. painted bumpers, lights, etc.).

Wash these parts carefully by hand.

– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or

freezing temperatures.

– Use hard brushes to clean alloy

wheels. These can scratch or

damage the wheel’s protective coat-

ing.

– Scrape off mud or dirt without

prewetting.

– Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im-

pacts.

– Use solvents not approved by the

Technical Department to remove

stains as this could damage the

paintwork.

– Drive when the vehicle is muddy or

covered in snow (the wheel arches,

underneath the body, radiator, etc.

must always be free from mud or

snow).

It is forbidden to wash the engine compartment using a high-pressure

water jet: this risks damaging the electrical/electronic components in the

engine compartment.

A label affixed in the engine compartment reminds you of this.

you should

–

Respect local regulations about

washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash

your vehicle on a public highway).

– Always follow the recommenda-

tions supplied with the high-pressure

cleaning equipment (jet distance and

pressure).

– Before using a roller type car wash,

put the windscreen wiper stalk in

Park position (refer information

on the “Windscreen wash/wipe” in

Section 1), check that the external

accessories, additional lights, and

mirrors are securely fitted and that

the wiper blades and radio aerial are

taped down.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your

vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and

refit the antenna after washing.

– Wash your vehicle frequently with

the

engine off, using shampoo ap-

proved by our Technical Department

(never use abrasive products) and

rinse thoroughly using a warm or

cold water jet (never hot):

– spots of tree resin and industrial

grime;

– the layer of dust or mud and any

insects;

–

bird droppings, which contain

chemicals that rapidly

discolour

paintwork and may even cause

the paint to peel off;

Wash the vehicle

immediately to

remove these marks since it is im-

possible to remove them by pol-

ishing;

–

salt deposited in the wheel arches

and underneath the body after

driving in areas where the roads

are chemically treated;

–

mud in the wheel arches and un-

derneath the body which form

damp patches.

– Clean mud and sand from the

wheels, in particular the inside of the

wheels and the brakes, as this can:

– reduce the braking efficiency and

damage the components of the

braking system;

– cause vibrations in the bodywork

and steering column.

We have selected special products

to care for your vehicle and you can

obtain these from approved dealer

accessory outlets.

– After cleaning your vehicle, check

the brakes while driving at low speed

to ensure that the braking efficiency

has not been reduced by the water.

If it has, depress the brake pedal

gently while driving to dry the brakes.

–

Check the drain holes at the bottom

of the doors to make sure they are

not blocked.

–

Inspect the wheels regularly to check

for any traces of impacts or corro-

sion. These can damage the tyre or

cause it to lose pressure.

–

Keep well away from the vehicle in

front when driving on gravelled sur-

faces to prevent paint damage.

–

Repair or have repaired quickly

patches where the paint has been

damaged to prevent corrosion

spreading.

–

Remember to visit the body shop pe-

riodically in order to maintain your

anticorrosion warranty. Refer to the

Maintenance Service Booklet.

– Spray mechanical components,

hinges, etc. with products approved

by the Technical Department to

protect them after they have been

cleaned.

Removing/refitting factory

fitted removable equipment

in the vehicle

If you need to remove equipment to

clean the passenger compartment (e.g.

mats), always make you refit it properly

and on the correct side (driver’s side

mats must be fitted on the driver’s side,

etc.), using retaining components sup-

plied with the equipment (e.g. the driv-

er’s side mat must always be secured

using prefitted retaining devices).
In all cases, with the vehicle stationary,

ensure that nothing can hinder driving

(obstacle underneath the pedals, heel

trapped by the mat, etc.).

What you should not do

You are strongly advised not to place

items such as air fresheners, perfume

etc. near the air vents as these could

damage the dashboard fittings.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE

Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come

loose under braking. After use, make sure the tools are correctly posi-

tioned in their housings: risk of injury.

If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, only use these bolts for the

emergency spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare wheel.

The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances

should it be used for carrying out repairs underneath the vehicle or to gain access

to the underside of the vehicle.
