Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried out   with   the   dipstick,   located   under  
t

he   bonnet.   For   the   position   of   the  
d

ipstick,   refer   to   the   under-bonnet  
v

iew   on   a   previous   page.Checking with dipstick
If you find that the oil level is above the A mark or below the B   mark,   do not star t the engine.
Take
 
care
 
when
 
working
 
under
 
the
 
bonnet,
 
as
 
certain
 
areas
 
of
 
the
 
engine
 
may
 
be
 
extremely
 
hot
 
(risk   of   burns)   and   the   cooling   fan   could   start   at  
a

ny

the
 
ignition
 
off).
Check
 
all

corresponding
 
system
 
checked
 
by
 
a
