Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom   of   the   boot,   as   close   as   possible   to   the   rear   seats.
Limit
  the   loads   carried   in   the   vehicle   and   reduce   wind   resistance   (roof  
b

ars,   roof   rack,   bicycle   carrier,   trailer...).   Use   a   roof   box   in   preference.

Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a
t   each   change   of   season,
-
 
a
fter   a   long   period   out   of   use.
Don't
  forget   the   spare   wheel   and   the   tyres   on   any   trailer   or   caravan.
Have
  your   vehicle   serviced   regularly   (engine   oil,   oil   filter,   air   filter...)   and  
o

bserve   the   schedule   of   operations   recommended   by   the   manufacturer.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   3

void
 
any
 
over flow.
At
 
the

it
 
is
 
only
 
after   the   first   1   800   miles  
(

3 000

that
 
you
 
will
 
see
 
the

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried out   with   the   dipstick,   located   under  
t

d

ipstick,   refer   to   the   under-bonnet  
v

iew   on   a   previous   page.Checking with dipstick
If you find that the oil level is above the A mark or below the B   mark,   do not star t the engine.
Take
 
care
 
when
 
working
 
under
 
the

as
 
certain
 
areas
