The vehicle is equipped with an
Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), which is
able to measure the charge and discharge
voltage and calculate the charge level
and the general condition of the battery.
The sensor is placed next to the negative
terminal (-) of the battery.For a correct charge/discharge
procedure, the charge voltage must go
through the IBS sensor.
1. Turn the charger on and follow the
instructions on the user's manual to
completely recharge the battery.
2. When the battery is charged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery.
3. Disconnect the black cable terminal of
the battery charger and then the red
cable terminal.
4. Refit the protective cover of the
positive terminal of the battery and the
access cover to the battery
compartment.
Note:
If a "quick-type" battery charger is
used with the battery fitted on the
vehicle, before connecting it disconnect
both cables of the battery itself. Do not
use a "quick-type" battery charger to
provide the starting voltage.
DEALER SERVICE
The following pages contain instructions
on the required maintenance from the
technical personnel who designed the
vehicle.
In addition to these specific maintenance
instructions specified for routine
scheduled servicing, there are other
components which may require periodic
maintenance or replacement over the
vehicle’s life cycle.
Engine Oil
Engine Oil Level Check
To ensure correct engine lubrication, the
oil must always be kept at the prescribed
level (see "Engine Compartment" in this
chapter).
Check the oil level at regular intervals, for
example every 1,864 miles (3,000 km).
It must be checked about five minutes
after stopping the engine.
Full operating temperature must be
reached. The vehicle must also be parked
on as level a surface as possible.
The engine oil level can be checked using
the Information and Entertainment
system. To access the function, activate
the main menu (MENU button) and select
the following options in sequence:
1. “Applications”
2. “My Car”
3. “Oil level”
