Maintenance and antipollution advice

Your vehicle complies with criteria for recycling and recovering vehicles at the end of their service life, which entered into force in 2015.
Some of the parts on your vehicle have been designed to be recycled later.
These parts are easily removable in order to be collected and reprocessed in recycling networks.
Furthermore, by virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle also conforms to current anti-pollution 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 maintained and used correctly.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that failure to respect antipollution regulations could 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 manufacturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and checked by an approved dealer, in accordance 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

  • Air filter, diesel filter: a clogged filter hinders performance. It must be replaced.
  • Idle speed: this does not require adjustment.

Exhaust gas monitoring system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’s exhaust gas antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic substances may be released into the atmosphere or mechanical damage may occur.
The indicator light in the instrument panel indicates possible faults in the system: it lights up when the ignition is switched on then goes out when the engine is switched on:
  • If it lights up continuously, contact an approved dealer as soon as possible;
  • If it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible;
