Battery
The battery is a specific
type , please ensure it is
replaced with the same
type. Consult an approved
dealer.
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. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
BAtte Ry
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status. If the level drops, the message
“Battery low start engine” is displayed
on the instrument panel. In this case,
start the engine. Then the message
“Battery charging” appears on the in-
strument panel for the duration of the
charging time.
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;
–


a
fter 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.

Bodywork maintenance

– Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
–

U
se solvents not approved by our
Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.
–

D
rive frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without washing the ve-
hicle, particularly under the wheel
arches and body.
–
mino
r 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.
What you should not do
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents (e.g. the engine compart-
ment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the fuel tank
flap) and painted plastic external
fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high-
pressure cleaning equipment or by
spraying on products not approved
by our Technical Department. If ade-
quate precautions are not taken, this
could give rise to corrosion or opera-
tional faults.
–

W
ash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
–

S
crape off mud or dirt without
prewetting.
–

Allow
dirt to accumulate.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
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
–


a
tmospheric pollution (built-up
and industrial areas),
–

s
aline atmospheres (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
W

ind-borne dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other vehi-
cles, etc.

wash, return the windscreen wiper
stalk to the Park position (refer to
the information on the “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1). Check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights and mirrors, and
ensure that the wiper blades are se-
cured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing.

recommended by our Technical
Department (never use abrasive
products) and be sure to jet-rinse off:
–

s

chemical reaction with the paint
that rapidly discolours paint-
work and may even cause the
paint to peel off;

Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use a
soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly mois-
tened with soapy water and then wipe
clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton
wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
inteRiOR tRiM MAintenAnCe (1/2)
textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
l

iquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use
cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow-
dered products, alcohol-based prod-
ucts) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
For further recommendations for
maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please
see an authorised dealer.

You are strongly recom-
mended not to use high-
pressure or spray cleaning
equipment inside the pas-

equipment could impair the correct
functioning of the electrical or elec-
tronic components in the vehicle, or
have other detrimental effects.

You are strongly advised not to po-
sition objects such as deodorants,
scents, etc. near air vents, as this could
damage your dashboard trim.
Removal/replacing removable
equipment originally fitted in
the vehicle
If you need to remove equipment in
order to clean the passenger com-
partment (for example, mats), always
ensure that they are correctly refitted
and are the right way around (the driv-
er’s mat should be fitted on the driver’s
side, etc.) and fit them with the compo-
nents supplied with the equipment (for
example, the driver mat should always
be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting
components).
With the vehicle stationary, ensure that
nothing will impede driving (anything
obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by
the mat, etc.).

special note:
T he Tyre Pressure Monitor function
does not check the emergency spare
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the
instrument panel display).
Refer to the information on the “Tyre
pressure monitor” in Section 2.In the event of a puncture,
depending on the vehicle,
you will have:
An emergency spare wheel or tyre in-
flation kit (refer to the information on the
following pages).
emergency spare wheel
This is located in the luggage compart-
ment. To access it:
–

open the tailgate;
–


d
epending on the vehicle, unscrew
the anchorage points;
–

f
old back the luggage compartment
carpet using tab

;
–

unscrew the central mounting;
–


remove
the emergency spare wheel.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is
safe to use.
Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the four other\
wheels:
–

Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same v
ehicle.
–

Repla
ce the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the same dimensions as the original.
–

When
this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed
indicated on the label on the wheel.
–

Fitting
an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and
reduce your speed when cornering.
–

If

you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.
