ENGINE OIL
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick
1 fig. 87.
For this check, take out the dipstick from
its seat, clean it with a lint-free cloth,
reinsert the dipstick; take it out again and
check the oil level.

If the oil level is near or under the MIN
mark, add oil through the filler 2 fig. 87
until it reaches the MAX mark.

Tool 1 shown in fig. 89 and stored in the
car, must be used to
undo and refasten the filler cap.
Take out the engine oil dipstick 1 fig. 87,
clean it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert

WARNING Make sure that the oil cap is
tightened properly in its seat after
topping the oil up.
After refitting the cap, remove tool 1 fig.
89 before closing the bonnet and place it
back in the housing to prevent misplacing
it and avoid the risk of causing damage to
the engine.
The range between the MIN and MAX
levels corresponds to approximately 1
litre of oil.

Engine oil consumption
16) 4)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every
1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs to
be run in; therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first
5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine run for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
switching it off before checking the level.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
120) 17)
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must range
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir.
If the level is too low, unscrew reservoir
plug 3 fig. 87 and add the fluid described
in the “Fluids and lubricants” paragraph of
the “Technical Specifications” chapter.
