ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION

- Oil consumption depends on:
- The engine type.
- How run-in or worn it is.
- The type of oil used.
- The driving conditions.
II - An engine can be considered RUN-IN after:

- 3 000 miles (5 000 km) for a PETROL engine.
- 6 000 miles (10 000 km) for a DIESEL engine.
III - MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE oil consumption for a RUN-IN engine.
- 0.5 litres per 600 miles (1 000 km) for a PETROL engine.
- 1 litre per 600 miles (1 000 km) for a DIESEL engine.
DO NOT INTERVENE BELOW THESE VALUES.
IV - OIL LEVEL: The level should NEVER be above the MAX. mark on the dipstick after changing or topping up the oil.
- This excess oil will be used up rapidly.
- It will reduce the engine output and adversely affect the operation of the air circuits and gas recycling.

SPEEDOMETER
An E.E.C. decree of 25 June 1976, regulates the speed displayed by the speedmeter in relation to the actual speed travelled.
This decree stipulates:
- The speed indicated by a speedometer must never be lower than the actual vehicle speed.
- Between the speed displayed SD and the speed travelled ST, there must always be the following relationship:
Example: For an actual speed of 100 Kph the speed displayed by the speedometer may be between 100 and 114 Kph.
The speed indicated by the speedometer may be influenced by:
- The speedometer.
- The tyres fitted to the vehicle.
- The final drive ratio.
- The speedometer drive ratio.
Any of these components can be checked without removing them from the vehicle (see information note N 78-85 TT of 19 October 1978).
NOTE: Before replacing the speedometer, check the conformity of the following points:
- The tyres fitted to the vehicle.
- The gearbox final drive ratio.
- The speedometer drive ratio.

WARNING: In the emergency programme, an impact is felt when

changing P/R or N/R.
Reception of the customer.
Discuss with the customer, to find out all the malfunction symptoms.
Oil quality.
If the gearbox has suffered a serious fault resulting in a malfunction or
the destruction of a clutch, the oil will overheat and become
contaminated with impurities: the oil is said to be burnt.
This is characterised by a black colour and the presence of an
unpleasant smell.
Oil level.
Preliminary conditions:
- Vehicle horizontal, parking brake off.
- Check that the gearbox is not in back-up mode (using a diagnostic tool).

AM6 GEARBOX CONTROLS

The gear selector is guided by the shape of the stepped gate and by a retaining spring which
pulls it to the left hand side.
The gear control has 5 positions:
- Position "P": parking (locking and immobilisation of the vehicle).
- Position "R": reverse gear.
- Position "N": neutral.
- Position "D" : drive (for use of the 6 gears in autoadaptive automatic operation).
- Position "M": manual (this position allows the driver to select his gears in one-touch mode by
pulling "M -" or pushing "M +" on the gear selector).
CLUTCH
GEARBOX
TRANSMISSION
NOTE: Only positions "P" or "N" authorise starting of the engine.

In position "M", the selection is enabled by an electronic sensor located close to the gear
selector:
- The variation of flux necessary to affect the sensor cells is obtained by a magnet on the lever
opposite the cells, provoking the changes of status.
- The information on this is transmitted to the gearbox ECU.

The switch "a" positioned on the gear control panel allows the driver to choose one of the
following 3 driving programmes:
- Normal programme: The normal programme operates in the absence of any other selection
being made (auto-adaptive mode ; eco law).
- Sport programme: The sport programme permits a more dynamic driving style, with greater
performances and acceleration.
- Snow programme: The snow programme facilitates moving off and traction on ground that
has limited adhesion.
To revert to the normal programme, you have to press a second time on the sport or snow
switch.

Compressor lubricant
ESSENTIAL: The compressor lubricant is extremely hygroscopic; always use FRESH oil.
Checking the compressor oil level
There are three specific cases:
- 1) Repairs to a system without leaks.
- 2) Slow leak.
- 3) Fast leak.
a) - Using draining/recovery equipment not fitted with an oil decanter.

- Drain the system as slowly as possible via the LOW PRESSURE valve, so as not to lose any oil.
- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.
b) - Using draining/filling equipment fitted with an oil decanter.
- Drain the R 134.a fluid from the system in accordance with the instructions in the equipment handbook.
- Measure the amount of oil recovered.
- Add the same amount of NEW oil when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.
c) - Replacing a compressor.
- Remove the old compressor, drain it and measure the oil quantity.
- Drain the new compressor (supplied full), so that the same amount of NEW oil is left in the compressor as was in the old compressor.
- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.

Checking the compressor oil level (continued)
2) Slow leak.
Slow leaks do not lead to oil loss, therefore the same procedure should be followed as if there was no leak at all.
3) Fast leak.
This type of leak causes both oil loss as well as allowing air to enter the system.
It is therefore necessary to:

- Replace the dryer.
- Drain as much oil as possible (when replacing the faulty component).
Either before or during filling of the system with R 134.a fluid, introduce 80 cc of NEW oil into the system.
If changing one of the following components, add as below:
- A drying bottle
- A condenser or an evaporator
- A high pressure or low pressure pipe
- A drying cartridge
: 15 cc of compressor oil.
