If the parking brake lever stroke is out of the stand-
ard range, we recommend you to have it checked. WARNING

operation of the vehicle with
the parking brake lever or pedal out of ad-
justment may result in the vehicle moving
when unattended. Parking brake break-in

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust
gas leakage
Look
under the body of your vehicle to check for
fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas leaks. WARNING
l If
you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; we
recommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp operation
Operate
the combination lamp switch to check that
all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause
is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb. Check the
fuses first. If there is no blown fuses, check the
lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and re-
placement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to
“Fuses” on page 8-20 and “Replacement of lamp
bulbs” on page 8-25.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recommend
you to have your vehicle checked and repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning
lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters,
gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected. Maintenance

Hinges and latches lubrication
Check
all latches and hinges, and lubricate if neces-
sary by first cleaning and then applying multipur-
pose grease. For cold and snowy weather
E01002800286
Ventilation slots
The
ventilation slots in front of the windscreen
should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after
a heavy snowfall, so that the operation of the heat-
ing and ventilation systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the
doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with sili-
cone grease.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-han-
dled spade in the vehicle during the winter so that
you can clear away snow if you get stranded. A
small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehi-
cle and a plastic scraper for the windscreen and
rear window are also useful. Fusible links
E01002900173
The
fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if a
large current attempts to flow through certain elec-
trical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected. Maintenance

Some fuses may not be installed on your ve-
hicle, depending on the vehicle model or spec-
ifications.
l The table above shows the main equipment
corresponding to each fuse.
The fuse box does not contain spare 7.5 A,
10 A and 15 A fuses. If a fuse of one of these
capacities blows, replace it temporarily by
borrowing the one that matches from:
7.5 A: Outside rear-view mirrors
10 A: Radio (Engine compartment)
15 A: Accessory socket
Replace the borrowed fuse as soon as possible.
