It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is sometimes necessary to top up the level between oil changes.
However, contact your approved dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being con- sumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil level from time to time and certainly before any long journey to avoid the risk of damaging your engine.
Niveau huile moteur
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Reading the oil level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should have been switched off for some time before- hand to obtain an accurate reading.
– take out the dipstick
1;
– wipe the dipstick using a clean, lint
- free cloth;
– push in the dipstick as far as it will
go;
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall

below minimum mark B or exceed
maximum mark A.
A
B
1
Exceeding the maximum engine oil level
The oil level should only be read with the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum level, do not start your vehicle and contact an approved dealer.
Under no circumstances must maximum fill level A be exceeded: risk of damage to the engine and catalytic converter.
Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.

Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for information regarding which grade of oil to use.
Filling: take care when topping up the oil that no oil drips onto engine components - risk of fire. Remember to refit the cap securely as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes onto hot engine components.
Engine oil change: if you are changing the oil when the engine is hot, be careful not to scald yourself if the oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an enclosed space as exhaust gases are poisonous.
The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.

Coolant
The level when cold must be between the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM marks
indicated on the tank 2.
Top this level up when cold before it reaches the MIN mark.
The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment.
Risk of burns.
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;
– anti-corrosion protection of the cool
- ing system.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.

Battery requiring
maintenance
Checking intervals:
Every six months, open cover
1.
Remove the plugs and check the level.
Liquid
Distilled or demineralised water to
1.5 cm above the plates.
Never add electrolyte or other prod-
ucts.
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.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.

As the battery is specific to the vehicle (presence of a ventilation pipe to expel corrosive and explosive gases), make sure that it is replaced
with a battery that enables this pipe to be connected. Consult an ap- proved dealer.

Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic glass, use a soft cloth or cotton wool to clean them.
If this does not clean it properly, use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly mois- tened with soapy water and then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, dry off carefully with a soft dry cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco- hol must not be used under any cir- cumstances.

Any operation on (or modi- fication to) the electrical system must be performed by an approved Dealer since an incorrect connection might damage the electrical equipment
(harness, components and in partic- ular the alternator). In addition, your Dealer has all the parts required for fitting these units.
The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment.

BATTERY: troubleshooting
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour- tesy lights, etc.) are switched off before disconnecting or reconnect- ing the battery.
– When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting the battery.
– Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short cir- cuit between the terminals.
– Always wait at least twenty seconds
after the engine has been switched off before disconnecting a battery.
– Make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
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.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car-
rying out operations in close prox- imity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

Repriming the fuel circuit
After filling when the fuel has com- pletely run out, it is necessary to bleed the air or drain the circuit before starting your vehicle.
The peripheral components (alter- nator, starter, engine mountings, etc.) should be protected against splashes of fuel.
When carrying out opera- tions near the engine, re- member it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Repriming
Work bulb 1 until the fuel runs into
pipe 2.
