Levels:
Brake fluid
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals:
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Brake fluid
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency. Level
It is normal for the level to drop as the
brake shoes become worn, but it must
never drop lower than the
“MIN” warn-
ing line on the reservoir 1.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s web site.
LEVELS (1/3)
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera -
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

Engine coolant
LEVELS (2/3)
Coolant
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold
must be between the “MIN” and “MAX”
marks on reservoir 2.
Top this level up when cold before the
“MIN” mark is reached. Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
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.When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

to avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers are
switched off before disconnecting or
reconnecting 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.
connecting a battery charger
the battery charger should be com-
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 Volts.
With the engine off, it is essential to dis-
connect the leads connected to both
battery terminals , starting with the
negative terminal.
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer of
the battery charger you are using. Only a fully charged and well
-main -
tained battery will have a long and
useful service life and enable you to
start the vehicle’s engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and dry.
Have the battery’s charge status
checked regularly:
– especially if you use your vehicle for
short journeys or for frequent driving
in town;
– when the exterior temperature drops
(in winter), the charge decreases .
In winter, only use the electrical
equipment that is really necessary;
– finally, you should understand that
the charge decreases naturally as a
result of certain permanent electrical
consumers such as the clock, after-
sales accessories, etc.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected to
the + after ignition feed. In this case,
it is advisable to have your vehicle
fitted with a battery which has an in -
creased nominal capacity. Contact an
approved Dealer. If your vehicle is to
be left stationary for a relatively long
time, disconnect the battery or have it
recharged regularly, particularly during
cold weather. The equipment with a
memory, radio, etc. will then have to
be reprogrammed. The battery must
be stored in a cool dry place, protected
from frost.
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
batteries. Contact an 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.

Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting your
vehicle from another vehicle’s battery:
Obtain suitable jump leads (large) from
an approved Dealer or, if you already
have jump leads, ensure that they are
in perfect condition.
the two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply -
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed. Attach positive lead (+) A to the
+ termi-
nal 1 of the discharged battery, then to
the + terminal 2 of the battery supplying
the current.
Attach negative lead (–) B to the – ter-
minal 4 of the battery supplying the cur-
rent, then to the – terminal 3 of the dis-
charged battery.
As soon as it is running, disconnect
leads A and B in the reverse order
(4- 3- 2- 1).
Start the engine as you would normally.

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.
Check that there is no con-
tact between leads A and B
and that the positive lead A
is not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the
vehicle.

radiator: If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never be topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved
by our Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
