Beware: When working under the bonnet, the cooling fan could operate if the engi-
ne is hot (even when switched off).
Topping up the cooling system The coolant level should be between the MAXIMUM and MINIMUM marks on the header tank.
Top up the level. If more than I litre is required to top up, have
the cooling system checked by your dealer. Ensure that the cap is fully tightened to the second notch. Note:
Frequent topping up could indicate a fault within the cooling system.
Have it checked as soon as possible.The replacement of the coolant must be carried out by the dealer network. Coolant The antifreeze in the coolant protects against low temperatures and provides anti-corrosion protection and resistance to high operating temperatures.However these properties degrade progressively with time. Oil quality: see Ç Lubricants and fluids È.
Radiator - coolantThe coolant must only be checked or topped up if the engine is cold. Engine hot:
Wait 15 minutes or until the tempe- rature is below 100 degrees C.Using a cloth to protect your hands,slowly slacken the filler cap as far
as the safety catch. Allow the pres-sure to reduce before removingfiller cap.

manufacturer. Capacity:
see Ç Capacities È. Brake fluidThe synthetic fluid not only gives protection against corrosion but also ensures correct functioning of the braking system in all environmental conditions, the-refore you should only use the synthetic product recommended by the manu-
facturer. (this fluid must be replaced every two years). These important requirements are detailed in your vehicle's Maintenance Guide. Oil quality:
see Ç Lubricants and fluids È.

BRAKES45II-4ABS - Anti-lock Braking System* This system improves vehicle safety by preventing the wheels from locking under emergency braking or when
braking on surfaces offering poor adhesion.
It thus also allows control of the steering to be retained. The operation of the various electronic components of the system is continuously monitored, both before and during your
journey. On switching on the ignition, the ABS lamp will light for approximately two seconds. If it stays on or lights when
driving, the ABS computer has detected a fault and has disconnected the ABS system. If the lamp lights whilst driving, it
again indicates that a fault has been detected and that the ABS system is inactive. In both situations, the normal braking
system is not affected and will continue to function as a conventional braking system without ABS. Nevertheless, to re-
establish the full safety features of the ABS system, It is recommended that the vehicle be examined by a dealer as soonas possible.
On slippery roads (loose stones, snow, ice, etc.), it is imperative to drive with caution.

AIR CONDITIONING*III-2

Air conditioning
The air conditioning system will only operate with the engine running. Press the switch Aon the dashboard.
A warning lamp confirms that the system is switched on.
For the air conditioning to be fully effective, the windows should be closed. The system contains a non-polluting CFC sub- stitute. If after a prolonged stop in direct sunlight the inside of the car is hot, leave the windows openfor a few minutes to provide a rapid air change,then close them.
Air recycling
To obtain the most effective cooling in the pas-senger compartment in very hot conditions,select the recycling position. Set control Bto the left, and place the heater
blower control Din the mid-way position.
It is recommended that the control not be left in the recycling position for longer than necessa-
ry. The normal position will provide a conti-nuous fresh air supply to the passenger com-partment. Rapid demisting Switch on the air conditioning.Set the control to the fresh air position and air flow to
maximum.Select the demisting position using control C.
Set the temperature control to maximum. Note: A normal consequence of having the air conditioning turned
on is that water condenses on the surface of the air conditioner. This drains out through a specially provided hole and may form apuddle under the car when parked.
To maintain effective operation of the compressor seals, ope- rate the air conditioning at least once a month. The air conditioning is useful even in winteras it can be used to
remove moisture from the air.

Emergency starting with a slave battery
A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started with either a slavebattery or the battery of anothervehicle. For safety reasons, it is essential that the slave battery is connectedstrictly following the sequence
described below.
A Positive terminal on a vehiclewhich has broken down. (underthe bonnet)
B Slave battery
C
Earth point on broken down vehicle.
Ensure that the voltage of the slave battery is correct (12 volts).
When using the battery of another vehicle, its engine should be switched off. The two vehicles must not be allowed to
come into contact with each other. Connect the battery cables in the ordershown in the diagram, ensuring a good contact is made (to avoid the risk of
sparks occurring).Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run at a fast idle for about a minute.
Then start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery. Advice Do not touch the cable clamps during the procedure.Do not lean over the batteries.
Disconnect the cables in the reverse order to connection, ensuring that they do not touch each other.
