The vehicle is equipped with an IBS
(Intelligent Battery Sensor), which is able
to measure the charge and discharge
voltage and calculate the charge level
and the general condition of the battery.
The sensor is placed next to the negative
terminal (-) of the battery.
For a correct charge/discharge
procedure, the charge voltage must go
through the IBS sensor.
1. Turn the charger on and follow the
instructions on the user's manual to
completely recharge the battery.
2. When the battery is charged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery.
3. Disconnect the black cable terminal of
the battery charger and then the red
cable terminal.
4. Refit the protective cover of the
positive terminal of the battery and the
access cover to the battery
compartment.
Note: If a "quick-type" battery charger is
used with the battery fitted on the
vehicle, before connecting it disconnect
both cables of the battery itself. Do not
use a "quick-type" battery charger to
provide the starting voltage.
DEALER SERVICE
The following pages contain instructions
on the required maintenance from the
technical personnel who designed the
vehicle.
In addition to these specific maintenance
instructions specified for routine
scheduled servicing, there are other
components which may require periodic
maintenance or replacement over the
vehicle’s life cycle.
Engine Oil
Engine Oil Level Check
To ensure correct engine lubrication, the
oil must always be kept at the prescribed
level (see "Engine Compartment" in this
chapter).
Check the oil level at regular intervals, for
example every 1864 miles (3000 km).
It must be checked once full operating
temperature is reached.
The vehicle must also be parked on as
level a surface as possible.
The engine oil level can be checked using
the Information and Entertainment
system. To access the function, activate
the main menu (MENU button) and select
the following options in sequence:
“Applications”; “My Car”; “Oil level”.
Changing The Engine Oil
See the "Maintenance Plan" for the
correct servicing intervals.
Choice Of Engine Oil Type
To ensure optimal performance and
maximum protection in all operating
conditions, it is advisable to use solely
certified engine oils (see description in
"Fluid And Lubricants" in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter).
Additives For Engine Oil
It is strongly recommended not to use
additives (other than leak detection dyes)
with the engine oil.
The engine oil is a product designed
specially for the vehicle and its
performance may be deteriorated
through the use of further additives.
Disposal Of Used Engine Oil And Filters
For the disposal of the engine oil and
filters, contact the appropriate body to
determine local regulations.
Note: Used engine oil disposed of
incorrectly may seriously harm the
environment.
Engine Oil Filter
Replacing The Engine Oil Filter
The engine oil filter must be replaced
each time the engine oil is changed. It is
advised to replace it with a genuine spare
part, specifically designed for this
vehicle.
