The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Battery requiring
maintenance
Checking intervals:
Every six months, open cover
1.
Remove the plugs and check the level.
Liquid
Distilled or demineralised water to
1.5 cm above the plates.
Never add electrolyte or other prod-
ucts.
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.
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
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.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
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 atmospheres (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 vehicles, 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.
You should not:
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.
– Scrape off mud or dirt without pre
- wetting.
– 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 frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without washing the vehicle, particularly under the wheel arches and body. –
Degrease or clean mechanical com
- ponents (e.g. engine compartment), underneath the body, parts with hinges (e.g. fuel filler cap, inside of filler flap, sunroof, etc.) and painted external plastic fittings (e.g. bump- ers) using high-pressure cleaning equipment or using spray products not approved by the Technical Department. If adequate precautions are not taken, this could give rise to corrosion or operational faults.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
You should
– Wash your car frequently, with the engine off, with cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer (never use abrasive products) and be sure to jet-rinse off:
– spots of tree resin and industrial grime;
– bird droppings, which contain chemicals that rapidly discolour paintwork and may 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. –
Keep well away from the vehicle in
front when driving on gravelled sur- faces to prevent paint damage.
– Repair or have repaired quickly
patches where the paint has been damaged to prevent corrosion spreading.
– Remember to visit the body shop pe
- riodically in order to maintain your anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet.
– Respect local regulations about

washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your vehicle on a public highway). –
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.
If your vehicle has a car phone and radio, remove the aerials.
– Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products approved by the Technical Department to protect them after they have been cleaned.
We have selected special products to care for your vehicle and you can obtain these from approved dealer accessory outlets.

– Seat beltsThese must be kept clean.
Use products selected by the Technical Department or warm soapy water and a sponge and dry off with a dry cloth.
Do not use cleaning agents or dyes.
Entretien des garnitures intérieures
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE
Whatever type of stain is on the trim, use soapy water (if possible, warm water) containing:
– normal soap,
– washing up liquid (with one part
washing up liquid to 200 parts water).
Rinse off with a soft, damp cloth.
Special features
– Glass instrument panel
(e.g.: instrument panel, radio display, etc.).
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly moistened with soapy water and then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, dry off carefully with a soft dry cloth.
Cleaning products containing al- cohol must not be used under any circumstances.
You should not:
You are strongly recommended not to use high-pressure or spray clean- ing equipment inside the passenger compartment: without careful use, this equipment could impair the correct functioning of the electrical or electronic components in the vehicle, or have other detrimental effects.
You are strongly advised not to place items such as air fresheners, perfume etc. near the air vents as these could damage the dashboard fittings.
We have selected special products to care for your vehicle and you can obtain these from approved dealer accessory outlets.
