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:
–    spots  of  tree  resin  and  industrial 
grime;
–    mud in the wheel arches and under -
neath  the  body  which  forms  damp 
patches;
–    bird  droppings ,  which  cause  a 
chemical reaction with the paint that 
rapidly  discolours  paintwork  and 
may  even  cause  the  paint  to  peel 
off;
    wash  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
–   
atmospheric  pollution  (built-up  and 
industrial areas),
–    saline  atmospheres  (near  the  sea, 
particularly in hot weather),
–    seasonal  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.

plied,
–  unscrew the valve cap on the wheel 
concerned  and  screw  the  inflation 
adapter 6 onto the valve;
–  connect adapter 8 to the accessories 
socket on the dashboard of the vehi-
cle;
–  press  switch  5   to  inflate  the  tyre  to 
the  recommended  pressure  (check 
the  label  affixed  to  the  edge  of  the 
driver’s door);
–  after  a  maximum  of  5  minutes,  stop 
inflating  and  read  the  pressure  (on 
pressure gauge  4);
note:  while  the  bottle  is  emptying  (ap-
proximately  30  seconds),  pressure 
gauge  4  will  briefly  indicate  a  pressure 
of 6 bar, then the pressure will drop.
–  adjust  the  pressure:  to  increase 
it,  continue  inflating  with  the  kit,  to 
reduce  it,  turn  button  7   located  on 
the inflation adapter.
If  a  minimum  pressure  of  1.8  bar  is 
not  reached  after  15  minutes,  repair 
is  not  possible;  do  not  drive  the  ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Inflation kit  E
Depending  on  the  vehicle,  in  the  event 
of  a  puncture  use  the  kit  located  in  the 
glove  box,  the  front  upper  cab  storage 
compartment  C  or  the  boot,  in  the  rear 
wheel arch  D.
Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (it is 
essential   not  to  remove  the  cap  from 
the  bottle)  then  screw  bottle  2   to  its 
base 3.

Battery: breakdown
Battery: troubleshooting  (1/2)
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.
t o 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.
Deactivate  the  Stop  and 
Start function for any opera -
tion performed in the engine 
compartment.
connecting a battery charger
t he  battery  charger  must  be  com -
patible  with  a  battery  with  nominal 
voltage of 12 volts.
Switch  the  engine  off  and  then  discon-
nect  both  battery  leads  starting  with 
the negative terminal.
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.

Battery: troubleshooting  (2/2)
Connect  the  positive  (+)  lead  A   to  (+) 
terminal  1   of  the  discharged  battery, 
then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-
plying the current.
Connect  the  negative  (–)  lead  B   to  (–) 
terminal  3   of  the  battery  supplying  the 
current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the 
discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact between 
leads A and B and that the positive (+) 
lead  A   is  not  touching  any  metal  parts 
on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as 
it  is  running,  disconnect  leads A  and B 
in the reverse order  (4-3-2-1)
the two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The 
battery  supplying  the  current  should 
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which 
is  at  least  the  same  as  that  of  the  dis-
charged battery.
Ensure  that  there  is  no  risk  of  contact 
between  the  two  vehicles  (risk  of  short 
circuiting  when  the  positive  terminals 
are connected) and that the discharged 
battery  is  properly  connected.  Switch 
off your vehicle ignition.
Start  the  engine  of  the  vehicle  supply
-
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed.
Special  procedures  may  be  required  to  charge  some  batteries.  Contact 
your approved dealer.
Avoid  all  risk  of  sparks  which  may  cause  an  immediate  explosion,  and 
charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. Risk of serious injury.

starting the vehicle using the 
battery from another vehicle
If  you  have  to  use  the  battery  from  an-
other  vehicle  to  start,  obtain  suitable 
jump  leads  (with  a  large  cross  section) 
from  an  approved  dealer  or,  if  you  al -
ready  have  jump  leads,  ensure  that 
they are in perfect condition.

t OwIng:  breakdown (1/2)
Insert the key into the ignition switch 
to  unlock  the  steering  wheel  and  to 
use the indicator lights (brake lights, 
indicators, etc.).  the towed vehicle’s 
lights must be switched on at night.
Furthermore,  it  is  essential  to  respect 
the towing regulations set out in the leg-
islation of the country concerned and, if 
your vehicle is the towing vehicle, not to 
exceed  the  towing  weight  of  your  vehi-
cle. Contact an approved Dealer.
When  the  engine  is  stopped,  steering  and  braking  assistance  are  not 
operational.
Only  use  the  front  and  rear  towing 
points   (never  use  the  driveshafts). 
These  towing  points  may  only  be  used 
for towing: never use them for lifting the 
vehicle directly or indirectly.

Do not leave the tools unse-
cured  inside  the  vehicle  as 
they may come loose under 
braking.
–  Use  a  rigid  towing  bar. 
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.
–  Avoid  accelerating  or  braking 
suddenly  when  towing,  as  this 
may  result  in  damage  being 
caused to the vehicle.
–  When  towing  a  vehicle,  it  is  ad -
visable  not  to  exceed  15  mph 
(25 km/h).
