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).

Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle. –

Unscrew cap
1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-
pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on the dipstick

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;
–

c
heck the level using the dipstick

(as described above).
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that the
cap-type dipstick is completely screwed
in.
Do not exceed the max level and
do not forget to refit cap 1 and dip-

engine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
Filling: take care when
topping up the oil that
no oil drips onto engine
components - risk of fire.
Remember to refit the cap securely
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes
onto hot engine components.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

Levels:

Coolant
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the “MINI" and "MAXI"
marks on coolant reservoir

1
.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark. Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
–

protection against freezing;
–

a
nticorrosion protection of the cool-
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
1Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

should be checked frequently, and any
time you notice even the slightest loss
in braking efficiency.

It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the M in line.
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.
topping up
After
any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).

Observe the indications on the battery:
–

n
aked flames and smoking forbid-
den;
–
3 eye protection required;
–
4 keep away from children;
–
5 explosive materials;
–
6 refer to the handbook;
–
7 corrosive materials.
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
BODyWORk MAintenAnCe (1/2)
– 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.

– Before going through a roller type car
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.

pray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products approved
by our Technical Department to
protect them after they have been
cleaned.
