LEVELS
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.
Do not do any work under the bonnet when the vehicle is charging or when the ignition is switched on.
If there is an abnormal or repeated drop in the fluid level, please consult an authorised dealer.
No operations should be carried out on the cooling circuit when the engine is hot.
Risk of burns.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle.
The vehicle drive system in an electric vehicle uses a direct voltage of approximately 400 volts.
This system can get hot during and after switching off the ignition. Observe the warning messages 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.
The risk of serious burns or electric shocks can lead to death.
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 brake linings wear, but it must never drop lower than the “MINI” 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.
When working in the engine compartment, certain parts may be hot. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of burns or serious injury.
Windscreen washer reservoir
Topping up
Open cap 3, fill until you can see the fluid, then refit the cap.
Liquid
Only use windscreen washer fluid containing antifreeze.
We advise you to consult an approved dealer or a qualified professional.
Note: do not use hard water (risk of damage to the priming pump, limescale building up on the pump and the jets).
Jets
Use a tool such as a needle to adjust the height of the windscreen washer jets.
If there is an abnormal or repeated drop in the fluid level, please consult an authorised dealer.
