Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle conforms to current antipol -
lution regulations. The manufacturer
is actively striving to reduce pollutant
exhaust gas emissions and to save
energy. But the fuel consumption of
your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main -
tained and used correctly.Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect
antipollution regulations may lead to
legal action being taken against the
vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu -
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– ignition: this does not require ad -
justment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, efficiency and performance
the specifications laid down by our
Design Department must be strictly
applied.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap specified for your vehicle’s
engine. Contact an approved dealer
for this.
– idle speed: this does not require ad-
justment.
– air filter, diesel filter: a choked el-
ement hinders performance. It must
be replaced.

Battery
BATTER y
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
Distilled or demineralised water to
1.5 cm 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.
