Maintenance
ROUTINE SERVICING
The safety, reliability and performance of your car will depend
partly on how well it is maintained.
Maintenance is the owner's responsibility, and you must ensure
that owner maintenance operations, routine services, brake fluid
and coolant changes are carried out when required and according
to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Service history
This handbook includes a Service History section, which enables
a record to be kept of all routine services that are carried out on
the car. This section of the book also provides a facility for the
dealer to record brake fluid and coolant changes, as well as the
fitting of replacement airbag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners.
Ensure your dealer signs and stamps the book after each service.
Brake fluid replacement
The brake fluid requires replacement every two years, irrespective
of the distance the car has travelled.
NOTE: Brake fluid replacement will be an additional cost.
Coolant replacement
The engine coolant (anti-freeze and water solution) needs to be
replaced every four years regardless of the distance the car has
travelled. Your dealer will replace the coolant at the scheduled
routine service nearest to the conclusion of each four year period,
to avoid the need for an additional dealer visit.
NOTE: Coolant replacement will be an additional cost.
EMISSION CONTROL
Your car is fitted with emission and evaporative control equipment
designed to meet specific territorial and legal requirements. You
should be aware that unauthorised replacement, modification or
tampering with this equipment by an owner or motor vehicle
repairer could be unlawful and subject to legal penalties.
In addition, engine settings must not be tampered with. These
have been established to ensure that your car complies with
stringent exhaust emission regulations. Incorrect engine settings
may adversely affect exhaust emissions, engine performance and
fuel consumption, as well as causing high temperatures, which
could result in damage to the catalytic converter and the engine.
