Battery
BATTERy
Depending on the vehicle, the battery
may be a low maintenance version.
Low maintenance battery
A label on the battery will indicate if the
battery is the low maintenance type.
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.
Battery requiring
maintenance
Checking intervals:
Every six months, open cover 1 .
Remove the caps and check the level.
Liquid
D
istilled or demineralised water to
1.5
c

m above the plates. Never add
electrolyte or other products.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved dealer.
Handle the battery with
care as it contains sulphu-
ric acid, which must not
come into contact with eyes
or skin. If it does, wash the affected
area with plenty of water and see a
doctor if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.

Bodywork maintenance
BOdyWORk MAINTENANCE (1/2)
you should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor-
oughly beforehand with a jet:
–

s
pots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
–

mud
in the wheel arches and under-
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
–

b
ird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours 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 polish-
ing;
–

salt,
particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv-
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves,
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-
cal components (e.g. the engine com-
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–

a

tmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
–

s

aline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
–

s

easonal and damp weather condi-
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.

Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances
when driving on gravelled surfaces to
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas
where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechani-
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
BOdyWORk MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper”
in Section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional lights
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper
blades are secured with adhesive 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.

As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used.

under any circumstances.
Interior trim maintenance
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will have a
longer service life. It is therefore ad-
visable to maintain the vehicle interior
regularly.
Stains should always be dealt with
quickly. Whatever type of stain is on
the trim, use soapy water (if possible,
warm water) containing:
do

not use detergents (washing up
liquid, powdered products, alcohol-
based products, etc.).
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.Fabrics (seats, door trim,
etc.)
Dust fabrics regularly.
Liquid stains
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or thick stains
Remove any excess solid or thick ma-
terial immediately and carefully using
a spatula (from the edge inwards to
avoid spreading the stain).
Clean using the procedure for a liquid
stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
For advice on interior maintenance
and/or on unsatisfactory results,
contact an approved dealer.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour- tesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnect-
ing the battery;
–

w
hen charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery;
–

t
o avoid creating a short circuit be-
tween the terminals, do not place
metal objects on the battery;
–

always
wait at least one minute after
the engine has been switched off
before disconnecting a battery;
–

m
ake 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 and consult a
doctor, if necessary.
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.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com-
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer of
the battery charger you are using.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected to
the + after ignition feed.
Some batteries may have
specific conditions for re-
charging. Consult your ap-
proved dealer. Avoid the
risk of sparks, as this could cause
a sudden explosion, and always
charge the battery in a well-venti-
lated area.
Risk of serious injury.
