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.

The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
The level when cold should be be-
tween the “ M

Bodywork maintenance
BOdywORk MAIntenAnCe (1/2)
– Use solvents not approved by our
Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.
–

Drive frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without washing the ve-
hicle, particularly under the wheel
arches and body.
y ou should not:
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents (eg. the engine compart-
ment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (eg. inside the fuel flap)
and painted plastic external fittings
(eg. bumpers) using high-pressure
cleaning equipment or by spraying
on products not approved by our
Technical Department. If adequate
precautions are not taken, this could
give rise to corrosion or operational
faults.
–

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.
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 atmosphere (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 vehi-
cles, 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.

– 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.
