Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
The
maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC)...
Other information:
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the engine by
connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster...
(Depending on version.)
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the engine oil level status is displayed
on the instrument panel for a few seconds upon
switching the ignition on, after the servicing
information.
The level read will only be
correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes...
