Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for information regarding which grade of oil to use.
Filling: take care when topping up the oil that no oil drips onto engine components - risk of fire. Remember to refit the cap securely as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes onto hot engine components.
Engine oil change: if you are changing the oil when the engine is hot, be careful not to scald yourself if the oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an enclosed space as exhaust gases are poisonous.
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.
Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.

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.

TYRES
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essen- tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres con- form to local road traffic regulations.
When they need to be re- placed, only tyres of the same make, size, type and profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your approved dealer.
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition and the tread form must have sufficient depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have wear warning strips 1 which are indicators moulded into the tread at several points.
When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the warning strips, they become visible 2: it is then neces- sary to replace your tyres because the tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at most, resulting in poor road hold- ing on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys by motorway, particularly in very hot weather, or continual driving on poorly surfaced minor roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
Incidents which occur when driving, such as striking the kerb, may damage the tyres and wheel rims, and could also lead to misalignment of the front or rear axle geometry.
In this case, have the condition of these checked by an approved dealer.
