Air COnDitiOninG: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating. For vehi-
cles fitted with manual air condition-
ing, switch off the system when it is
not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
Drive with the air vents open and
the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in-
spection frequency.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
note
Presence of water under the ve-
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the ve-
hicle. This is caused by condensa-
tion.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
–
r eduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning perform-
ance. This may be caused by the
passenger compartment filter
cartridge becoming clogged.
–
no cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
t h
ere is a risk of damage or of
fire.

addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
In the event of an impact,
even slight, against the ra-

the bonnet catch checked
by an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Make sure the bonnet is
properly locked.

Engine oil level
general information
If the level is at minimum: “ok” will not
appear on the display; dashes and “oil”
will flash (message 2) and, depending
on the vehicle,
ø lights up on the
instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
The
ø warning light comes on
while driving when the oil change/serv-
ice interval is reached.

When the ignition has been switched
on for approximately 30 seconds:
If the level is above the minimum
level , the display shows display mes-
sage

For more information, press the trip
mileage recorder reset button.
The squares which appear on the dis-
play indicate the level. These symbols
disappear as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by dashes.
engIne OIL LeveL: general information (1/2)
The display only warns the
driver if the oil level is at the
minimum level. It does not
inform the driver that the oil
level has exceeded the maximum
level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes. However, contact an
approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres
is being consumed every 600 miles
(1,000 km) after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the
vehicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
t h
e dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only alerts
the driver when the oil level is at its min-
imum.

t opping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day).
–
Unscrew cap 1;
–
top up the level (as a guide, the ca -
pacity between the minimum and
m
aximum reading on the dipstick 2
is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend-
ing on the engine);
–
wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
–
check the level using dipstick 2 (as
described above).
Do not exceed the maximum level and
do not forget to refit cap

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 website.
t opping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by the man-
ufacturer’s Technical Department (and
taken from a sealed container).
Replacement interval: refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet for your
vehicle.
Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the vehi-
cle stationary and on level ground.
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.

Coolant
Level checking intervals
Check the level regularly (severe
damage is likely to be caused to the
engine if there is insufficient coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
–
protection against freezing,
– anti-corrosion protection of the cool -
ing system.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Level
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
The level when cold should be be-
tween the “ M

Top this level up when cold before the
“MI

Booklet for your vehicle.

– Before going through a roller type
car wash, return the windscreen
wiper stalk to park position (refer to
the information on the “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1). Check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights, door mirrors, etc.,
and be sure to hold the wiper blades
and radio aerial in place with adhe-
sive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
–
Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products approved
by our 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 the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
– Observe the vehicle stopping dis-
tances when driving on gravelled
surfaces to prevent paint damage.
–
Repair, or have repaired quickly,
areas where the paint has been dam-
aged, to prevent corrosion spread-
ing.
–
Remember to visit the body shop
periodically if your vehicle has an
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).
y ou should
– Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off , with cleaning products
recommended by our Technical
Department (never use abrasive
products) and be sure to jet-rinse
off:
–
spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
–
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 pol-
ishing;
–
salt, particularly in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads have been gritted;
–
mud in the wheel arches and un -
derneath the body which form
damp patches.
