In all cases, the oil selected must

ments. Cooling system

manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.

Check that the mat is secured cor-
rectly.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- only use mats suited to the i x i n g s a l r e a d y p r e s e n t i n t h e
vehicle. It is imperative that

droppings, resinous
deposits, tar stains and
grease marks as soon

bodywork and plastic parts of
your vehicle.
- To prevent the development of bodywork corrosion as a
result of accidental damage
( s t o n e c h i p s , s c r a t c h e s , e t c . )
have them repaired swiftly.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the
plastic trim on your vehicle, we recom-
mend that you wash them regularly.
- b y h a n d : t h e r e a r e n o s p e c i i c precautions to take;
- using an automatic car wash: repeated use of poorly
maintained automatic car
washes can lead to the
appearance of microscopic
scratches which give the
paintwork a matt appearance
( e s p e c i a l l y v i s i b l e o n d a r k
colours);
- using a high pressure washer: always follow the
recommendations on the
e q u i p m e n t ( p r e s s u r e a n d
spraying distance).
If there are damaged areas on t h e v e h i c l e ( p a i n t e d b u m p e r s
or headlamps), it is not
recommended to direct the high
pressure jet onto them. Wash
these areas by hand.
Also avoid the entry of water into the locks.
For all questions relating to the main-
tenance of your vehicle, contact an
approved dealer who can advise you
on quality products selected by our
departments.
