be checked frequently, and immedia-
tely if you notice even the slightest loss
in braking efficiency.

Unclip the upper bar 2 of the bonnet
before moving your hand in 1.Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.

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.

12V BATTERY (1/2)
The secondary battery is a 12 V battery:
this supplies the energy required to op-
erate vehicle equipment (lights, wind-
screen wipers, audio system, etc) and
certain safety systems, such as ABS.
For your safety and the
proper operation of the
vehicle’s electrical equip-
ment (lights, windscreen
wipers, etc.), any work on the se-
condary 12V battery (removal, dis-
connection, etc.) must be carried
out by a specialist.
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.

12 VOLT BATTERY (2/2)Connecting a charger to the
accessories socket
Only use a charger that is compatible
with a nominal voltage of 14.4 volts
and a current limited to 5 amps.
With the ignition switched on, plug
the power supply into the accessories
socket 7 located in the storage com-
partment 8. Please consult an authori-
sed dealer.
Recharging the 12 volt
battery
It is difficult to access the 12 volt bat-
tery. It is therefore recommended that
you attach the vehicle plug to a power
source: energy is supplied to both the
12 volt battery and the traction battery
at the same time.
Please refer to the information on
“Electric vehicle: charging” in Section 1.
Do not forget to switch off the ignition
when replacing the traction battery.
Immobilising the vehicle for an
extended period of time
Before immobilisation, you should
make sure that:
– the ignition is switched off;
– the side lights and hazard warning lights are switched off;
– the traction battery is fully charged.
After lengthy immobilisation, it is normal
to find the traction battery charge
level down. In this case, recharge it
(see “Electric vehicle: charging” in
Section 1).
Do not use booster cables
to start the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.

Only connect accessories
with a maximum power of
65 watts. When several ac-
cessory sockets are used
at the same time, the total power of
the connected accessories must not
exceed 65 watts.
Fire hazard.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
– Scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting.
– Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im- pacts.
– 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.
– 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.
What you should not do
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents, underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the fuel tank
flap) and painted plastic external fit-
tings using high-pressure cleaning
equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. If adequate precautions
are not taken, this could give rise to
corrosion, damage to paintwork or
operating faults.
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Some parts may look different over time
(e.g.: bleaching, etc.)
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 (built-up
and industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the
sea, particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather 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.
Washing the vehicle
Never wash the vehicle with
a roller or a high-pressure
spray, and under no circum-
stances when charging.
This risks damaging the electrical
circuit.
