Lost keys
Go to a member of the dealer network, taking
with you the vehicle's registration certificate,
your personal identification documents and if
possible, the label bearing the key code.
The member of the dealer network will be able
to look up the key code and the transponder
code required to order a
new key.
Do not throw away the remote control
batteries, they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic
engine immobiliser system; this could cause
malfunctions.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive
system; do not handle it while it is in your pocket
as there is a
possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your
remote control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. You may stop it from working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is
in the ignition switch, even when the ignition is
switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locked vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make it
difficult for the emergency services to enter the
vehicle in an emergency.
As a
safety precaution, never leave children
alone in the vehicle, except for a
very short
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
vehicle. Second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your
possession checked in the dealer network, to
ensure that only your keys can be used to open
and start the vehicle.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop.
The liquids must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine. Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Return used oil to the dealer network or
a
qualified workshop and dispose of it in
the containers reser ved for this purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick. To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a
level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30

minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
ser vices (or oil changes). We recommend that
you check the level, and top up if necessary,
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
