Maintenance and antipollution advice
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.
- This indicator light on the instrument panel indicates possible faults in the system:
This lights up or flashes (depending on the vehicle) when the ignition is switched
on, then disappears when the engine starts.
- 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;
