By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle complies with current anti-pollution regulations. The manufacturer is actively striving to reduce polluting 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 correctly maintained and used.

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 needed to ensure that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.

Engine adjustments

  • Spark plugs: for best fuel economy, efficiency and performance, follow the specifications laid down by our design department.

If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle's engine. Contact an approved dealer for this.

  • Air filter, fuel filter: a dirty cartridge reduces performance. It must be replaced.
  • Ignition and idle speed: no adjustment necessary.

Exhaust gas monitoring system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’s antipollution system.

If this system malfunctions, toxic sub- stances may be released into the atmosphere or damage may occur.
