Battery
BATTER y
Battery 1 does not require any mainte-
nance.
As the battery is specific to
your vehicle, ensure that
you replace it with a battery
to which a degassing pipe
can be connected.
Consult an approved dealer.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water and consult 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.
Label A
Observe the indications on the battery:
– 2 Naked flames and smoking forbid -
den;
– 3 Wear eye protection;
– 4 Keep away from children;
– 5 Explosive substances;
– 6 Refer to the handbook;
– 7 Corrosive substances.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.

BODyWORK MAINTENANCE, ENGINE COMPARTMENT (1/3)
A well-maintained vehicle has a longer
service life. It is therefore recom -
mended that attention is paid to the out-
side of the vehicle on a regular basis.
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 in-
dustrial areas);
– saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather);
– seasonal and damp climatic condi -
tions, (e.g.: road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
– abrasives
Wind-borne dust and sand, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles, 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.
y ou 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.

y ou 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 going through a roller type
car wash, return the windscreen
wiper stalk to park position (refer
to the information on “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1), check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights and door mirrors
and be sure to hold the wiper blades
and radio aerial in place with adhe -
sive tape. Remove the radio aerial
mast if your vehicle is fitted with this
equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing. –
After driving off-road (eg. on muddy,
dusty or sandy terrain) quickly clean
the radiator from the outside of the
vehicle through the openings in the
bumper, to prevent it from becoming
blocked or clogged (risk of engine
overheating).
– 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 the manufactur -
er’s 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.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located on the
left side of the luggage compartment on
4x2 versions or in the in the emergency
spare wheel tray under the luggage
compartment carpet on 4x4 versions. –
press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (check
the label affixed to the edge of the
driver’s door);
– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure (on
the pressure gauge 4);
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), pres -
sure gauge 4 will briefly indicate a
pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure
will drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase
it, continue inflating with the kit, to
reduce it, turn button 7 located on
the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the vehi-
cle but contact an approved dealer .
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (it is
essential not to remove the cap from
the bottle) then screw bottle 2 to its
base 3.
With the engine running and the
handbrake applied,
– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel
concerned and screw the inflation
adapter 6 onto valve;
– connect adapter 8 to accessories
socket 9 on the dashboard of the ve-
hicle;

Fuses
Passenger compartment fuses
If any electrical component does not
work, check the condition of the fuses.
Unclip flap A using notch 1 to help you.
Use the fuse allocation label on the
back of flap A to identify the fuses.
Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, with a fuse of
the same rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is too high, it may cause the electrical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipment using
an excessive amount of current.
To comply with current legislation, or
as a precaution, you can obtain an
emergency kit from your approved
Dealer containing a set of spare
bulbs and fuses.
FUSES (1/3)
Tweezers 2
Release the fuse using tweezers 2, lo-
cated on the back of flap A. To remove
the fuse from the tweezers, slide it side-
ways.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations. Fuses in engine compartment
B
Some functions are protected by fuses
located in the engine compartment
(unit B).
However, because of their reduced
accessibility, we advise you to have
your fuses replaced by an approved
dealer.
