the battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals
are correctly tightened (versions without quick
release terminals) and that the connections
are clean.Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Particle filter (Diesel)
the start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the
multifunction screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.
For more information on Checking
levels , refer to the corresponding
section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
th
ere is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources. For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Loudness,
Ambience,
t
r
eble, Bass, Volume can be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when
changing source. Check that the audio settings (Loudness,
Ambience,
t
r
eble, Bass, Volume) are adapted to
the sources listened to. Adjust Balance,
t
r
eble
and Bass to the middle position, select the
"None" musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
With the engine off, the
system switches off after a
few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
th
e switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and
switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
