BATTERY (1/2)
Battery 1 does not require any mainte-
nance. You should not open it or add
any fluid .
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 and consult 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.

The charge status of your battery can
decrease especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– after extended use of consumers (radio etc.) with the engine switched
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.
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. Please contact an
authorised dealer.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
You should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor-
oughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and under-
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours 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 polish-
ing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv-
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves,
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-
cal components (e.g. the engine com-
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–
atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather condi-
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.

5.7
For all vehicles, with the engine run-
ning and the handbrake applied,
– unroll the hose from the container;
– connect the compressor hose 3 to
the container’s inlet 8;
– depending on the vehicle, connect the container 8 to the compressor
from the container recess 7;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rel- evant wheel and screw on the con-
tainer’s inflation adapter 1;
– disconnect any accessories previ- ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-
cessories sockets;
– adapter 2 must be connected to the
vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch 4 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information in the section
on “Tyre pressure”);
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 5). Note: while the container is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge
5 will briefly indicate
a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pres-
sure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 6.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or missing
valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss. Always use valve
caps identical to the original ones
and ensure they are tightly screwed
on.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour- tesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnect-
ing the battery;
– when charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting
the battery;
– to avoid creating a short circuit be- tween the terminals, do not place
metal objects on the battery;
– always wait at least one minute after the engine has been switched off
before disconnecting a battery;
– make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.
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 and consult 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.
The engine may be hot during oper-
ations in close proximity. In addition,
the engine cooling fan may start to
operate at any moment. Risk of se-
rious injury.
Certain batteries may have
specific recharging require-
ments; consult your au-
thorised dealer. Avoid any
risk of sparks, as this could cause
a sudden explosion, and always
charge the battery in a well-venti-
lated area. Risk of serious injury.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com-
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
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.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected to
the + after ignition feed.
