ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information (2/2)
Reading the level using the
dipstick
Engine switched off:
– remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go;
– take out the dipstick again;
read the level: it should never fall below minimum mark C or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the level has been read, push the
dipstick in as far as it will go.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling
level B be exceeded: this
could damage the engine
and the catalytic converter.
Maximum engine oil level
exceeded.
The oil level should only be read with
the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.C

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.
Engine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.

LEVELS (1/3)
Brake fluid
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. Level 1
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the
“MIN” warning
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.
Filling
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).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

Filters
The filter elements (air filter, diesel filter,
etc.) should be replaced during the
maintenance operations carried out on
your vehicle.
Replacement intervals for filter el-
ements: refer to the Maintenance
Document for your vehicle.
On equipped vehicles, if warning light 7
turns red, it indicates that the air filter
is clogged.
Consult your approved dealer as soon
as possible.

products approved by our Technical
Department.

When the ignition is off, some consu-
mers may also be switched off (dipped
beam headlights, radio, ventilation,
etc.). On the instrument panel, the mes-
sage “BATTERY MODE: ECONOMY”
appears when switched off. When the
level is extremely low, the message
“BATTERY LOW START ENGINE” is
displayed.
The charge status of the battery can
decrease, especially if you use your
vehicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– with the vehicle stopped and the engine off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.

This is located behind step A and does
not require maintenance. You should
not open it or add any fluid .
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status.
Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must n\
ot
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.
Label B
Observe the indications on the battery:
– 1 naked flames and smoking are for-
bidden;
– 2 eye protection required;
– 3 keep away from children;
– 4 explosive materials;
– 5 refer to the handbook;
– 6 corrosive materials.
The battery is a speci-
fic type, please ensure it
is replaced with the same
type. Consult an approved
dealer.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/6)
To connect the compressor, open the
bonnet and connect black clamp 10
to earth 6 (refer to the information on
“Battery: troubleshooting” in Section 5).
Then connect red clamp 11 to termi-
nal 5.
Before starting the engine,
check that the handbrake is
applied and the gear lever
is in neutral or in position N
for sequential gearboxes.
With the engine running, press switch 7
to start inflating.
After a maximum of 15 minutes, stop in-
flating and read the pressure on pres-
sure gauge 9.
A pressure of at least 4.7 bar must be
reached.
Note: whilst the cylinder is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), pressure
gauge 9 will briefly indicate a pressure
of up to 6 bar. Then the pressure drops.

If the correct pressure cannot be
achieved, repair is impossible. Do
not drive the vehicle. Consult an ap-
proved dealer.
If the pressure is too high, press
button 8 to lower the pressure.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (4/6)
Affix the driving recommendation label
to the dashboard where it can easily be
seen by the driver;
Store the kit underneath the driver’s
seat.
Start the vehicle immediately in order
to the distribute the product in the tyre
and, after 6 miles (10 km) or 10 mi-
nutes driving, stop to check the pres-
sure. To do this, fit adapter 3 onto the
tyre valve. If the pressure is less than
the recommended pressure, adjust it
(refer to the information on “Tyre pres-
sures”), otherwise contact an approved
dealer: repair is not possible.Precautions when using the
kit
– the kit should not be operated for more than 15 consecutive minutes;
– when driving, vibration may be felt due to the presence of the repair pro-
duct injected into the tyre.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make
the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten t\
hem
fully.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 3 to prevent any repair
product from escaping and screw tyre
inflation hose 4 to bottle opening 2 to
prevent the product from escaping.
