CHECKS
CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never i ll past this mark.

B = minimum
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
Dipstick
Cooling system
Use the l uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.

In the case of vehicles i tted with
a particle emission i lter, the fan
can operate after the vehicle has
stopped, even when the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
Diesel additive level (Diesel
