Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the Manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a particular level has dropped significantly,
have the corresponding circuit checked by a
dealer or qualified workshop.
Fluids must comply with the
Manufacturer's recommendations.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used fluids into sewers
or onto the ground.
Drain used fluids into the dedicated
containers provided by dealers or qualified
workshops.
Brake fluid
Before doing any work
Switch off the ignition, apply the parking
brake, check that the instrument panel is off
and that the charging cable is not connected.
To find out how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the Manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Removing front bumper

► Remove the 2 lower fixing screws from the
frame.
►
Remove the 2 upper access flaps from the
wings, pass an arm under the wing and lift it up.
►
Remove the 2 upper side fixing screws from
the flaps.
►
Remove the 2 lower side fixing screws from
the wheel arches.
►
Pull the bumper horizontally for about ten
centimetres until the attachment points come

Before topping up, it is necessary to
protect the motor and its connectors in

24
Practical information
order to avoid any risk of brake fluid splashing
onto them.
Topping up
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
►
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pads for wear.
Refitting front bumper
► Bring the bumper close to the frame.
► Connect the indicator wiring looms.
► Place it in position and then push the bumper
horizontally until the attachment points clip into
place.
►
Screw the 2 upper side fixing screws into the
flaps.
►
Screw the 2 lower side fixing screws into the
wheel arches.
►
Screw the 2 lower fixing screws into the
frame.
►
Clip the 2 upper access flaps to the wings.
Screenwash fluid
Access/Topping up
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed
product.
In winter (temperatures below 0°C), a fluid
containing an anti-freeze agent which is
appropriate for the temperature conditions
must be used in order to protect the system's
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).
Filling with pure water is prohibited in all
circumstances (risk of freezing,
limescale, etc.).
► Top up to the required level when
necessary .
Tank capacity: 1 litre.


► Turn both fixing screws a quarter turn.
► Unclip the access cover.
► Remove the cap from the tank to top up.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
Manufacturer's service schedule.
Otherwise, have them checked by a dealer or
qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by the
Manufacturer or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, the Manufacturer selects and
offers very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly
tightened and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the 12 V
battery
, refer to the corresponding section.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel
or decreased effectiveness, the parking
brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a dealer or
qualified workshop.
Brake pads/Discs/Drums
Brake wear depends on the style of
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles
used in town, over short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.

In the event of a breakdown
Number plate lamp
Removing

► Lie down behind the vehicle in the middle of
the rear bumper.
►
Pass your arm behind the bumper to reach
the lamp above the foam shock absorber.
►
Pinch the fixing clip holding the lamp.
► Push the lamp down while holding the fixing
clip.
►
Disconnect the lamp from its wiring loom.
► Leave the wiring loom dangling through the
bumper.
Refitting
► Connect the new lamp to the suspended
wiring loom.

Changing a fuse
Before changing a fuse:
► Identify the cause of the fault and fix it.
► Switch off all power consumption.
► Immobilise the vehicle and switch off the
ignition.
►
Identify the defective fuse using the current
allocation tables and diagrams.
To replace a fuse, it is essential to:
►
Pull the fuse out of its housing and check the
state of its filament.
►
Always replace the failed fuse with a fuse of
the same rating (same colour); use of a different
rating may cause malfunctions - risk of fire!
If the fault recurs soon after replacing a fuse,
have the electrical system checked by a dealer
or qualified workshop.


Good


Faulty
The fuse allocation tables and corresponding diagrams are available
through a dealer or qualified workshop.
Replacement with a fuse not shown in the
allocation tables could cause a serious
malfunction of the vehicle. Consult a dealer or
qualified workshop.
Installing electrical accessories
Before fitting other electrical equipment
or accessories to your vehicle, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The Manufacturer accepts no responsibility
for any costs incurred in repairing the vehicle
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting from
the installation of accessories not supplied
or not recommended by the Manufacturer
and not installed in accordance with its
recommendations, in particular when the
combined power consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected exceeds 10
milliamperes.
Accessing the fuses

► Turn both fixing screws a quarter turn.
► Unclip the access cover.
► Pull out the faulty fuse and replace it.

In the event of a breakdown
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.

battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery booster

.
Check beforehand that the backup battery
has a nominal voltage of 12
V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery

.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Disconnect or turn off all electrical devices in
both vehicles (portable devices, radio, wipers,
