LEVELS

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5

Coolant

The level is checked with the engine switched off and on flat ground. The level when cold must be between the “MINI” and “MAXI” marks on the coolant reservoir 1.

Top this level up when cold before the “MINI” mark is reached.

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 cooling system.

Note: for a new vehicle in the running-in phase: the coolant level may be higher than the “MAXI” mark on the tank, then drop to between the “MINI” and “MAXI” marks. This does not present a risk.

Replacement intervals

Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle.

Do not do any work under the bonnet when the vehicle is charging or when the ignition is switched on.

No operations should be carried out on the cooling circuit when the engine is hot.

Risk of burns.

The vehicle drive system in an electric vehicle uses a direct voltage of approximately “400 V”.

This system can get hot during and after switching off the ignition. Respect warning messages given on the labels in the vehicle.

Any intervention or modification on the vehicle’s “400 V” electrical system (components, cables, connectors, traction battery) is strictly prohibited.

Risk of serious injury and/or electric shock which may endanger life.

The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The label in the engine compartment reminds you of this.

Risk of injury.

Brake fluid

The level should be read with the engine switched off and on level ground. This should be checked frequently, and immediately if you notice even the slightest loss in braking efficiency.

Replacement intervals

Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle.

Topping up

After any operation on the hydraulic circuit, a specialist must replace the fluid. Only use fluids approved by our Technical Department (and taken from a sealed container).

Level 2

It is normal for the level to drop as the linings become worn, but it should never drop below the “MIN” warning line.

If you wish to check the disc wear yourself, you should obtain the document explaining the checking procedure from our network or from the manufacturer’s website.

If there is an abnormal or repeated drop in the fluid level, please consult an authorised dealer.

When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.

Risk of injury.

Windscreen washer reservoir

Topping up

Open cap 3, fill until you can see the fluid, then refit 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.
