TRANSPORTING OBjECTS IN THE LuGGAGE COMPARTMENT
Always position the heavi-
est items directly on the
floor. Use the lashing points
on the luggage compart-
ment floor, if these are fitted to the
vehicle. The luggage should be
loaded in such a way that no items
will be thrown forward and strike the
occupants if the driver has to brake
suddenly.
Always place objects being transported
so that their longest side rests against
the back of the rear bench seatbacks,
as with normal loads (example
A )

or
against the back of the front seats when
the rear bench seatbacks are folded
down. Refer to the information on the
“Rear bench seat” in this section.

Fasten the rear seat belts,
even if the seats are not oc-
cupied.
Ensure that the load is evenly distrib-
uted over the largest loading surface to
prevent damage to the vehicle.

It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is sometimes necessary to top up
the level between oil changes.
However, contact an approved dealer if
more than 0.5 litres is being consumed
every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the
running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time before-
hand to obtain an accurate reading.
Engine oil level: general information
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
Reading the oil level
– remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth;
–

p
ush the dipstick in as far as it will
go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick
C, screw the cap in as
far as it will go);
–

take out the dipstick again;
–


r
ead the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark
A

or exceed
maximum mark
B.
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that the
cap-type dipstick is completely screwed
in.
Under no circumstances
must maximum fill level
A be exceeded: risk of
damage to the engine and
catalytic converter.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Exceeding the maximum engine
oil level
The oil level should only be read with
the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved dealer.

is
between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending
on the engine);
–
w
ait approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– c heck the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.

Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
Filling: take care when
topping up the oil that
no oil drips onto engine
components - risk of fire.
Remember to refit the cap securely
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes
onto hot engine components.
Engine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
If there is an abnormal or repeated
drop in the fluid level, please consult
an authorised dealer.
Resetting the alert after an oil
change
(depending on the vehicle)
If you change the oil yourself, you will
need to reset the oil change warning.
To do this, after switching on the igni-
tion, for ten seconds you must:
–

Depress the accelerator pedal fully
,
–

with
your foot on the accelerator, de-
press the brake pedal three times in
succession.
Reinitialisation is complete when the
# indicator light goes out. If this is
not the case, repeat the operation.
Special case : if you change the oil
before the oil change interval exceeded
warning is displayed, it will also be nec-
essary to reset the display. In this case,
the
# warning light comes on for
approximately 5 seconds to confirm the
reset.
