Maintenance

GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular systematic maintenance is the key to
ensuring the continued reliability and efficiency
of your vehicle.
Maintenance is the owner's responsibility and
you must ensure that owner maintenance
operations, oil services, inspections and brake
fluid and coolant changes are carried out when
required and according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The routine maintenance requirements for your
vehicle are shown in th e Service Portfolio book.
Most of this necessar y workshop maintenance
requires specialised knowledge and
equipment, and should preferably be entrusted
to a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Service Portfolio
The Service Portfolio book includes a Service
Record section, which enables a record to be
kept of all the servicing and inspections that are
carried out on the vehicle. This section of the
book also has an area for brake fluid changes
to be recorded.
Ensure your service provider signs and stamps
the book after each se rvice and inspection.
Owner maintenance
In addition to the routine services and
inspections, a number of simple checks must
be carried out more frequently. These checks
can be carried out by th e owner and advice is
given on the pages that follow.
Daily checks
• Operation of lamps, horn, direction
indicators, wipers, washers and warning
indicators.
• Operation of seat belts and brakes.
• Look for fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Condensation drips from the air
conditioning is normal.
CAUTION
Severe damage to the electrical system
and electronic components can occur, if
any attempt is made to diagnose faults in the
electrical system using conventional
diagnostic equipment (e .g. the use of test
lamps or low impedanc e voltmeters). The
fitting of any electric al accessory should only
be entrusted to a Deal er/Authorised Repairer.CAUTION
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid
levels, or uneven tyre wear, should be
reported to a qualifie d technician without
delay.

Maintenance
Weekly checks
•Engine oil level (non- electronic dipstick
vehicles). See ENGINE OIL CHECK - V6
Petrol engines (page 197).
• Engine coolant check. See ENGINE
COOLANT CHECK (page 204).
• Brake fluid level. See BRAKE FLUID
CHECK (page 206).
• Power steering fluid level. See POWER
STEERING FLUID CHECK (page 208).
• Screen washer fluid level. See WASHER
FLUID CHECK (page 209).
• Tyre pressures and condition. See TYRE
CARE (page 217).
• Operate air conditioning. See AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL (page 116).
Note: The engine oil level on V6 petrol engines,
should be checked more frequently if the
vehicle is driven for prolonged periods at high
speeds. The engine oil level on diesel and V8
petrol engines is checked automatically at all
times by the electronic dipstick.
Severe driving conditions
When a vehicle is operated in severe
conditions, more frequent attention must be
paid to servicing requirements.
Severe driving conditions include:
• Driving in dusty and/or sandy conditions.
• Driving on rough and/or muddy roads
and/or wading. •
Driving in extremely hot or cold
conditions.
• Driving in areas using road salt or other
corrosive materials.
• Towing a trailer or driving in mountainous
conditions.
Contact your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
advice.
Emission control
Your vehicle is fitted with various items of
emission and evaporati ve control equipment,
designed to meet specific territorial
requirements. You should be aware that
unauthorised replacemen t, modification or
tampering with this equipment by an owner or
repair shop, may be unlawful and subject to
legal penalties.
In addition, engine se ttings must not be
tampered with. These have been established to
ensure that your vehicle complies with
stringent exhaust em ission regulations.
Incorrect engine settings may adversely affect
exhaust emissi ons, engine performance and
fuel consumption. The y may also cause high
temperatures, which will result in damage to
the catalytic converter and the vehicle.
Road testing dynamometers (rolling
roads)
Because your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brakes, it is essential that any dynamometer
testing is carried out only by a qualified person,
familiar with the dynamometer testing and
safety procedures practised by
Dealers/Authorised Repairers.
CAUTION
Ensure that you take notice of any
message centre information and
warnings relating to engi ne oil level (V8 petrol
and diesel engines only). Top-up the level
when advised to do so. See ENGINE OIL
CHECK - V8 Petrol engines (page 199).
