Battery
BATTER y
Depending on the vehicle, the battery
may be a low maintenance version.
Low maintenance battery
A label on the battery will indicate if the
battery is the low maintenance type.
As the battery is specific
to the vehicle (presence of
a ventilation pipe to expel
corrosive and explosive
gases), make sure that it is replaced
with a battery that enables this pipe
to be connected. Consult an ap -
proved Dealer.
Battery requiring
maintenance
Checking intervals:
Every six months, open cover 1 .
Remove the caps and check the level.
Liquid
Distilled or demineralised water to
1.5 cm above the plates. Never add
electrolyte or other products.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved dealer.
Handle the battery with
care as it contains sulphu -
ric acid, which must not
come into contact with eyes
or skin. If it does, wash the affected
area with plenty of water and see 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.
1
Label A
Observe the indications on the battery:
– 2 Naked flames and smoking forbid -
den;
– 3 Eye protection required;
– 4 Keep away from children;
– 5 Explosive materials;
– 6 Refer to the handbook;
– 7 Corrosive materials.
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
BODyWORK MAINTENANCE (1/3)
A well-maintained vehicle will have a
longer service life. It is therefore ad -
visable to maintain the vehicle exterior
regularly.
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
industrial areas);
– saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather);
– seasonal and damp climatic con-
ditions, (e.g.: road salt in winter,
water from road cleaners, etc.).
– abrasives
Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other vehi -
cles, 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.

BODyWORK MAINTENANCE (2/3)
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 using a roller type car wash,
put the windscreen wiper stalk in
Park position (refer information
on the “Windscreen wash/wipe” in
Section 1), check that the external
accessories, additional lights, and
mirrors are securely fitted and that
the wiper blades and radio aerial are
taped down.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing. –
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 approved dealer
accessory outlets.

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 .

Fuses
FUSES (1/3)
1
A
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.
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.
Tweezers 2
Disconnect the fuse using tweezers 2 ,
on the back of flap A.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers,
slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
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.
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 .
