SPEcIAl fEA tURES of PEtRol vERSIoNS
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such as
grass or leaves can come into con-
tact with the hot exhaust system.
The following operating conditions
should be avoided:
–
driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
–
using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives
which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
–
faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
disconnected spark plugs resulting
in the engine misfiring or cutting out
when driving;
–
loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.

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.
Level

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
In ” and “ MAX” marks on
coolant reservoir
1.
Top this level up when cold before the
“MI
n” mark is reached.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
