For maintenance operations on the
power-assisted steering, contact an ap-

The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-

addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Consult an approved dealer at once
if you notice an abnormal or re-
peated drop in any of the fluid levels.
If you feel any variation in the ef-
fectiveness of the power-assisted

you should
– Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
–

A
lways follow the recommenda-
tions supplied with the high-pressure
cleaning equipment (jet distance and
pressure).
–

B
efore going through a roller type
car wash, return the windscreen
wiper stalk to park position (refer
to the information on “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1), check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights and door mirrors
and be sure to hold the wiper blades
and radio aerial in place with adhe-
sive tape. Remove the radio aerial
mast if your vehicle is fitted with this
equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing. –

After
driving off-road (eg. on muddy,
dusty or sandy terrain) quickly clean
the radiator from the outside of the
vehicle through the openings in the
bumper, to prevent it from becoming
blocked or clogged (risk of engine
overheating).
–

W
ash your vehicle frequently with
the engine off , using shampoo ap-
proved by our Technical Department
(never use abrasive products) and
rinse thoroughly using a warm or
cold water jet (never hot):
–

s
pots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
–

the
layer of dust or mud and any
insects;
–

b
ird droppings, which contain
chemicals that rapidly discolour
paintwork and may even cause
the paint to peel off ;



W
ash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol-
ishing; –


salt
deposited in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after
driving in areas where the roads
are chemically treated;
–

mud

in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which form
damp patches.
–

C
lean mud and sand from the
wheels, in particular the inside of the
wheels and the brakes, as this can:
–

reduce
the braking efficiency and
damage the components of the
braking system;
–

cause
vibrations in the bodywork
and steering column.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“ E m e r g e n c y s p a r e w h e e l ” a n d
“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
–

poor road holding;
–


r

isk of blowouts or throwing a
tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the
load and speed of use; adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
–

it

may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
–

It

may change the way it handles
when cornering;
–

I

t may cause the steering to be
heavy;
–

i

t may affect the use of snow
chains.
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make
the tyres less airtight and may lead to pressure loss. Always use valve
caps of the same type as the originals and tighten them fully.
Fitting new tyresPressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.
Your vehicle is equipped with large
wheels. These are more sensitive
to imbalance. If you experience vi-
bration while driving, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

Towing: troubleshooting
TOWING: breakdown (1/3)
Towing procedure
The steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to pro-
vide stop lights and hazard warning
lights on the towed vehicle. At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is being
towed.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact an approved Dealer.
Front and rear towing points
Only use the front 1 and rear 2
towing points.
W h e n t h e e n g i n e i s
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
– Use a rigid towing bar (except for off-road recovery). If a rope or cable
is used (where the law allows this), the vehicle being towed must be able
to brake.
–

A
vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven.
–

A

void accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this may result in
damage being caused to the vehicle.
–

When towing a vehicle, it is advisable not to exceed 15 mph (25

km/h).
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.

Jaune NoirNoir texte
On the road POSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
The power-assisted steering be-
comes heavy. Belt broken.
Lack of power-assisted steer-
ing oil in the pump.Have the belt replaced.
For maintenance operations on the power-assisted
steering, contact an approved dealer.
The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature indicator light comes
on. Engine cooling fan not work-
ing.
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and contact
an approved dealer.
Coolant leaks. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check
the coolant reservoir: it should contain fluid. If there
is no coolant, consult an approved dealer as soon
as possible.
Radiator blocked or clogged. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and clean the radiator (refer to the information on “Bodywork
maintenance/engine compartment” in Section 2). If
it is clean, consult an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
OPERATING FAULTS (4/5)
Radiator: 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 the Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
