t opping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day).
engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle. –
Unscrew cap 1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-
pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on the dipstick 2
is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend-
ing on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation has been com -
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that the
cap-type dipstick is completely screwed
in.
Do not exceed the max level and
do not forget to refit cap 1 and dip-
stick 2.

e ngine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
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.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

Coolant
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the “MINI" and "MAXI"
marks on coolant reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI 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.

Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera -
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.

Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. This
should be checked frequently, and any
time you notice even the slightest loss
in braking efficiency. level 1
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the
Min 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. t
opping 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 Service
Booklet for your vehicle.

The battery 1 does not require any
maintenance.label A
Observe the indications on the battery:
– 2 naked flames and smoking forbid -
den;
– 3 eye protection required;
– 4 keep away from children;
– 5 explosive materials;
– 6 refer to the handbook;
– 7 corrosive materials.
Battery
The battery is a specific
type , please ensure it is
replaced with the same
type. Consult an approved
dealer.
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. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
BA tteR y
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status. If the level drops, the message
“Battery low start engine ” is displayed
on the instrument panel. In this case,
start the engine. Then the message
“ Battery charging ” appears on the in -
strument panel for the duration of the
charging time.
The charge status of your battery can
decrease especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– after extended use of consumers
(radio etc.) with the engine switched
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.

Bodywork maintenance
BODyWORk MAintenAnCe (1/2)
– Use solvents not approved by our
Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.
– Drive frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without washing the ve -
hicle, particularly under the wheel
arches and body.y ou should not:
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents (e.g. the engine compart -
ment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the fuel tank
flap) and painted plastic external
fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high-
pressure cleaning equipment or by
spraying on products not approved
by our Technical Department. If ade-
quate precautions are not taken, this
could give rise to corrosion or opera -
tional faults.
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
– Scrape off mud or dirt without
prewetting.
– Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
protection against the effects
of corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion prod -
ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to
the effects of:
– corrosives in the atmosphere
– atmospheric pollution (urban and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the
sea, particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp climatic con-
ditions, (e.g.: road salt in winter,
water from road cleaners, etc.).
– abrasives
Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other vehi -
cles, etc.
– minor impacts
You should take a minimum number of
precautions in order to safeguard your
vehicle against such risks and not to
lose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti -
corrosion protection.

– Before going through a roller type car
wash, return the windscreen wiper
stalk to the Off position (refer to
the information on the “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1). Check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights and mirrors, and
ensure that the wiper blades are se-
cured 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.
– Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc., 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.
– Observe the vehicle stopping dis -
tances 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
periodically if your vehicle has an
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
– Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).you should
– Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off , with cleaning products
recommended by our Technical
Department (never use abrasive
products) and be sure to jet-rinse off:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– bird droppings, which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint
that rapidly discolours paint -
work and may even cause the
paint to peel off;
Wash the vehicle immediately
to remove these marks since it
is impossible to remove them by
polishing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads have been gritted;
– mud in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which form
damp patches.

water) containing:
–
natural soap,
– washing up liquid (with one part
washing up liquid to 200 parts water).
Rinse off with a soft, damp cloth.
Special instructions
– glass instrument panels (e.g. in-
strument panel, clock, exterior tem -
perature display, radio display)
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use
a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly
moistened with soapy water and
then wipe clean with a soft damp
cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft
dry cloth.
Cleaning products containing al -
cohol must not be used under any

y ou should not:
You are strongly advised not to po -
sition objects such as deodorants,
scents, etc. near air vents, as this could
damage your dashboard trim.
You are strongly advised
not to use high-pressure or
spray cleaning equipment
inside the passenger com -
partment: use of such equipment
could impair the correct functioning
of the electrical or electronic compo-
nents in the vehicle, or have other
detrimental effects.
