Topping up engine coolant Engine cold : The coolant level should be between the MINI and MAXI marks.
Engine warm : Wait for 15 minutes, the coolant temperature must be below 100¡C. Protect your
hands with a cloth, and slowly unscrew the cap as far as the safety catch to release the pressure.
Level :
Top up.
If more than 1 litre of coolant is required, have the cooling circuit checked by an approved dealer. Ensure that the cap is properly locked in position on the 2nd notch.
If it is necessary to add fluid frequently, this indicates a fault which should be checked as soon as possible.
* According to specification.
82V- 2LEVELS AND CHECKS*
This is a delicate operation which must be performed by an approved dealer.

Radiator - engine coolant
The coolant level should only be checked when the engine is cold. The level must always be between the MINI and MAXI marks on the vertical part ofthe radiator (water tank, cap side) for petrol engines, or in the reservoir ope-ning for diesel engines. The coolant contains an anti-freeze which not only enables it to withstand low temperatures (original protection to minus 37¡C) but also makes it anti-corrosive and resistant to high temperatures.

WARNING
Never remove the ignition key before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Never attempt to move the
vehicle without the engine running. If the engine is not running, the vehicleÕs steering and braking systemswill not be power-assisted (there is a risk of the steering lock engaging and the safety features not opera-ting). After parking, remove the ignition key and turn the steering wheel until the steering column locking peg engages.

Check that the gear lever is in neutral.
PETROL ENGINEStarting with the engine cold. Do not press the accelerator pedal. Operate the starter until the engine starts (not more than ten seconds).In very low temperatures, press the clutch pedal when operating the starter to ease starting of the engine. Release
the clutch pedal slowly.
DIESEL ENGINEStarting with engine cold
Turn the ignition key to position M(ignition, preheater) and wait until the preheater warning light goes out. Then
operate the starter until the engine starts. In very low temperatures, press the clutch pedal when operating the starter to ease starting of the engine. Release
the clutch pedal slowly. Note : Do not press the accelerator pedal during starting.
Starting with engine hot
Operate the starter. If the engine fails to start at the first attempt, repeat using the preheater. In all cases, if the engine stops or fails to start at the first attempt, wait a few seconds before operating the starter again. Note : The preheater warning lamp does not come on when the engine is hot.
Recommendation : It is not necessary to warm up the engine before starting off. Wait for the warning lamp to go out and then drive
off slowly, accelerating gently until the engine warms up.

Interior air recirculation
To increase the air conditioning efficiency in very hot weather or to isolate the passenger compartment from unpleasant exterior odours, use the inter-ior air recirculation position and adjust the speed of the blower 1by turning
it to the left.
This setting should be cancelled assoon as possible to maintain a supplyof fresh air inside the vehicle.
However, if the temperature inside the vehicle becomes very high after along stop, open the windows for a fewminutes to ventilate the vehicle, thenclose them before using the air condi-tioning system.

VI-2BATTERY
Emergency starting from another battery
A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started with either an electrically isolated slave battery or the battery of another vehicle.
To avoid risks of explosion, correctly follow the orderindicated below.
Slave battery
Earth point on failed vehicle.
Check that the voltage of the slave battery is correct (12 volts).
If using the battery of another vehicle, its engine must be switched off. The two vehicles must not be in direct contact
with each other. Connect the battery cables as shown in the diagram in the orderindicated. Make sure that the cable clips are pro-
perly connected (risk of sparks).Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run under slight acceleration for about a minute.
Start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery. Caution Do not touch the cable clips during the operation.Do not lean over the batteries.
Disconnect the cables in the reverse order to connection ensuring that they do not touch one another.
