Checks





6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the checking interval for
this component.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, evenbetween vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
th
e brake fluid level indicates that the brakepads are worn.
Brake pads
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The star t of saturation of the par ticle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the
multi-function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.If the warning lamp stays on, thisindicates a low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first par ticle filter regeneration operations may beaccompanied by a "burning" smell,which is perfectly normal.Following prolonged operation of thevehicle at very low speed or at idle,you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour atthe exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.

The 100 % electric mode is not
available during regeneration of thepar ticle emissions filter.
