ating fault.

or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-

Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle.
After prolonged use of the air condi -
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
range
It is normal to notice an increase in
energy usage when the air conditioning
is operating.
Switch off the system when it is not re-
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents on and the win-
dows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few moments
to let the hot air escape before starting
the engine.

LeveLs (1/2)
CoolantThe level is checked with the engine
switched off and on flat ground. The
level when cold must be between the
“MIN” and “MAX” marks on coolant res-
ervoir 1 and 2 measures.
Top this level up when cold before the
“MINIMUM” mark is reached. Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
–
protection against freezing;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool -
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco -
hol must not be used.

Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing);
– rub too hard;
– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car
wash;
– wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk
of leaving marks).
y ou should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle

to avoid all risk of sparks:
– Switch off the vehicle ignition.
– Ensure that any electrical consumers
(courtesy lights, etc.) are switched
off before disconnecting or recon -
necting the battery.
– When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
– Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short cir-
cuit between the terminals.
– Make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
connecting a battery charger
the battery charger must be com -
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Before disconnecting the battery, check
that:
– the ignition is switched off;
– the gear control is in position P
(please see the information on “Gear
control”;
– the charging cable is disconnected.
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
batteries. Contact your ap -
proved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may
cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well-venti -
lated area. Risk of serious injury.
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. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car -
rying out operations in close prox -
imity. In addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Disconnect the leads connected to both
battery terminals, starting with the
negative terminal.
Follow the instructions given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.
Do not work on the 12 volt
battery (charging, replac -
ing, etc.):
– without switching off the
ignition;
– if your traction battery is charg -
ing.
Please refer to the information
on “Electric vehicle: charging” in
Section 1.
Risk of serious injury.
