SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit up,
– using leaded petrol,
– using oil or fuel additives which are
not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
spark plug disconnected resulting in engine misfiring and hesitation when driving,
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to overheat, reducing its efficiency which may irreparably damage it and cause heat damage to the vehicle.
If you notice any of the above operat- ing faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by your approved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to your approved dealer at the intervals specified in your Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con- verter, do not keep trying to start the engine (using the start button, or by pushing or towing the vehicle) without having identified and corrected the starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not continue to try and start the engine, but contact an approved dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations where combustible sub- stances or materials such as grass or leaves can come into contact with a hot exhaust system.

Conseils antipollution, économies de carburant
The manufacturer is acively striving to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle conforms to current antipollu- tion regulations. Technical design, how- ever, cannot achieve all. The fuel con- sumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are very much within your control. Make sure that your vehicle is maintained correctly, and is driven carefully.
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect antipollution regulations may lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manu- facturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle checked and ad- justed by your approved dealer in ac- cordance with the instructions in your Maintenance Service Booklet.
Your approved dealer has all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– ignition: this does not require ad- justment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ- omy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an approved Dealer as soon as possi- ble.
–
idle speed: this does not require ad- justment.
–
air filter, diesel filter: a choked el- ement hinders performance. It must be replaced.

BATTERY
Depending on the vehicle, the battery may be a low maintenance version.
Low maintenance battery
A label on the battery will indicate if the battery is the low maintenance type.
The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Battery requiring
maintenance
Checking intervals:
Every six months, open cover
1.
Remove the plugs and check the level.
Liquid
Distilled or demineralised water to
1.5 cm above the plates.
Never add electrolyte or other prod-
ucts.
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.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.

As the battery is specific to the vehicle (presence of a ventilation pipe to expel corrosive and explosive gases), make sure that it is replaced
with a battery that enables this pipe to be connected. Consult an ap- proved dealer.

BATTERY: troubleshooting
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour- tesy lights, etc.) are switched off before disconnecting or reconnect- ing the battery.
– When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting the battery.
– Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short cir- cuit between the terminals.
– Always wait at least twenty seconds
after the engine has been switched off before disconnecting a battery.
– Make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
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.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car-
rying out operations in close prox- imity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.

Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com- patible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then discon- nect both battery leads starting with the negative terminal.
Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instruc- tions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an- other vehicle to start, obtain suitable jump leads (with a large cross section) from an approved dealer or, if you al- ready have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden- tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least the same as that of the dis- charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact between the two vehicles (risk of short circuiting when the positive terminals are connected) and that the discharged battery is properly connected. Switch off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply- ing the current and run it at an interme- diate engine speed.Connect the positive (+) lead

A to (+)
terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup- plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead
B to (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying the
current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact between
leads A and B and that the positive (+)
lead A is not touching any metal parts on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it is running, disconnect leads A and B in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your ap- proved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and charge the battery in a well-venti- lated area. Risk of serious injury.
