bonnet in the middle and lower it to 
30 cm above the closed position, then 
release it. It will latch automatically 
under its own weight.
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.In the event of even a slight 
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have 
the bonnet lock checked by 
an approved Dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
Do not press down on the 
bonnet: there is a risk that 
the bonnet may accidentally 
close.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the 
vehicle on level ground, after the engine 
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read 
the exact oil level and make sure 
that the maximum level has not been 
exceeded (risk of engine damage).  
Refer to the following pages.
C
A
B
A
B
Exceeding the maximum 
engine oil level
 Under no circumstances 
must the maximum fill 
level  B be exceeded: risk of damage 
to the engine and catalytic con-
verter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum 
level,  do not start your vehicle . 
Contact an authorised dealer.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for 
lubrication and cooling of moving parts 
and it is normal to top up the level 
between oil changes.
However, contact your approved Dealer 
if more than 0.5 litres is being consu-
med 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.
Consult your approved dealer at 
once if you notice an abnormal or 
repeated drop in any of the fluid 
levels.
In order to prevent splashback, it is 
recommended that a funnel be used 
when topping up/filling with oil.
–  remove the dipstick and wipe with a  clean, lint-free cloth;
–  push 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;
–  read the level: it should never fall  below minimum mark  A or exceed 
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been comple-
ted, ensure that the dipstick is pushed 
in as far as it will go or that the “cap-
type dipstick” is completely screwed in.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (1/3)
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level 
ground and the engine should be cold 
(for instance, before the engine is star-
ted up for the first time in the day). –  Unscrew cap 1;
–  top up the level (as a guide, the ca-
pacity between the minimum and 
maximum reading on dipstick  2 is 
between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending 
on the engine);
–  wait approximately 10 minutes to  allow the oil to flow into the engine;
–  check the level using the dipstick  2 
(as described above).
Once the operation has been comple-
ted, ensure that the dipstick is pushed 
in as far as it will go or that the “cap-
type dipstick” is completely screwed in.
Do not exceed the  MAX level and 
do not forget to refit dipstick  2 and 
cap 1.

Please refer to the maintenance docu-
ment for your vehicle, or contact an au-

as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes 
onto hot engine components.If there is an abnormal or repeated 
drop in the fluid level, please consult 
an authorised dealer.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (3/3)
Never run the engine in an 
enclosed space as exhaust 
gases are poisonous.
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, 
depress 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 excee-
ded warning is displayed, it will also be 
necessary to reset the display. In this 
case, the 
# warning light comes on 
for approximately 5 seconds to confirm 
the reset.
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.
Exceeding the maximum 
engine oil level
 Under no circumstances 
must the maximum fill level 
be exceeded: risk of damage to the 
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum 
level,  do not start your vehicle .

cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our 
Technical Department (and taken from 
a sealed container).

Department which ensure:
–  protection against freezing;
–  anticorrosion protection of the cool- ing system.
