levelS (1/3)
Coolant
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the “MINI" and "MAXI"
marks on coolant reservoir

1
.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark. Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
–

protection against freezing;
–

a
nticorrosion protection of the cool-
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
1Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.

The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. This
should be checked frequently, and any
time you notice even the slightest loss
in braking efficiency.

It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the M in line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website.
topping up
After
any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).

aked flames and smoking forbid-
den;
–
3 eye protection required;
–
4 keep away from children;
–
5 explosive materials;
–
6 refer to the handbook;

7 corrosive materials.
Battery
The battery is a specific
type , please ensure it is
replaced with the same
type. Consult an approved
dealer.
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. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
BAtte Ry
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status. If the level drops, the message
“Battery low start engine” is displayed
on the instrument panel. In this case,
start the engine. Then the message
“Battery charging” appears on the in-
strument panel for the duration of the
charging time.
The charge status of your battery can
decrease especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
–

for short journeys;
–


for driving in town;
–


when the temperature drops;
–


a
fter extended use of consumers
(radio etc.) with the engine switched
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.

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.
t

he 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.

ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed.

If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never be topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved
by our Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
