fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Depending on the vehicle, you will find
the following information on label A af-
fixed inside the engine compartment.
The presence and location of the infor-
mation on label A depends on the ve-
hicle.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the key inside, and with a child, adult wh\
o
is not self-sufficient or a pet, even for a short while. They may pose a risk
to themselves or to others by starting the engine or activating equipmen\
t
(such as the gear lever or electric windows). If any part of the body \
becomes
trapped, reverse the direction of the window immediately by pressing the\
relevant
switch.
Risk of serious injury.
One-touch electric window(depending on vehicle)
The one-touch mode works in addition
to the operation of the electric windows
described previously.
It is fitted to the driver’s window and
is used for lowering only.
Briefly press switch 1: the window will
open completely.
Pressing the switch again while the
window is moving will stop its move-
ment.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.

BONNET (1/2)
1
Do not do any work under
the bonnet when the vehicle
is charging or when the igni-
tion is switched on.
To open the bonnet, pull the handle 1.Unlocking the bonnet catch
To open, push tab 2 to the left as you
open the bonnet.
Opening the bonnetLift the bonnet, helping it up, and it will
rest in position with the help of struts.
Do not press down on the
bonnet: there is a risk that
the bonnet may accidentally
close.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
2
Please note when work-
ing close to the engine that
it may be hot. The engine
cooling fan may also start
at any moment. The
 warning
light in the engine compartment re-
minds you of this.
Risk of injury.

4.3
Ensure that the bonnet is
properly locked.
Check that nothing is pre-
venting the catch from lock-
ing (gravel, cloth, etc.).
BONNET (2/2)
Closing the bonnet
Check that nothing has been left in the
engine compartment.
To close the bonnet again, hold the
bonnet in the middle and lower it to 30
cm above the closed position, then re-
lease it.
After carrying out any work
in the engine compart-
ment, check that nothing
has been left behind (cloth,
tools, etc.).
These may damage the engine or
cause a fire.
In the event of even a slight
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have
the bonnet lock checked by
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

4.4
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
LEVELS (1/2)
 CoolantWith the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the “MINI” and “MAXI”
marks on the coolant reservoir 1 and 2.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MIN mark. 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;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool-
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

Do not do any work under
the bonnet when the vehicle
is charging or when the igni-
tion is switched on.
Please note when work-
ing close to the engine that
it may be hot. The engine
cooling fan may also start
at any moment. The
 label
in the engine compartment reminds
you of this.
Risk of injury.

 Windscreen washer
reservoir
Topping up
– Open cap 4;
– fill until you can see the fluid;
– close the cap.
Liquid
Screen wash product (product with
antifreeze in winter).
Jets
Use a tool such as a needle to adjust
the height of the windscreen washer
jets.

Level 3
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the “ MINI” warning
line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
 Brake fluid
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.

Maintenance/replacement
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Never open the battery cover 1.
The charge status of the 12V battery
can decrease, especially if you use
your vehicle:
– when the exterior temperature drops;
– after extended use of energy-con-suming devices (radio etc.) with the
engine switched off.
12 VOLT BATTERY (1/2)
1
For your own safety and for
the proper operation of the
vehicle’s electrical equip-
ment (lights, windscreen
wipers, ABS, etc.), any interven-
tion on the secondary 12 V battery
(removal, disconnection, etc.) must
categorically be performed by a
specialist professional.
Risk of serious burns or electric
shocks.
Respect categorically the replace-
ment intervals (without exceeding
them) as stated in the maintenance
document.
The battery is a specific type.
Please ensure it is replaced with the
same type.
Contact an Authorised Dealer.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/3)
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.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.
Withdraw the vegetable falls (resin, film
etc.) from the vehicle regularly. 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.
Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
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.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.

4.11
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/3)
Degrease or clean using
high-pressure cleaning
equipment or by spray-
ing on products not ap-
proved by our Technical
Department:
– mechanical components (e.g.:
engine compartment);
– underbody;
– parts with hinges (e.g.: inside the
doors);
– painted plastic external fittings (e.g.:
bumpers).
Doing this could give rise to corrosion
or operational faults.
What you should not do
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.
