appear on the display; dashes and “oil”  
will  flash  (message  2)  and,  depending  
on  the  vehicle,

It is vital to top up the oil as soon as  
possible.

If  the  level  is  above  the  minimum  
level ,  the  display  shows  display  mes- 
sage

For  more  information,  press  the  trip  
mileage recorder reset button.
The  squares  which  appear  on  the  dis- 
play  indicate  the  level.  These  symbols  
disappear  as  the  oil  level  drops  and  
they are replaced by dashes.
engIne OIL  LeveL: general information (1/2)
The  display  only  warns  the  
driver if the oil level is at the  
minimum  level.  It  does  not  
inform the driver that the oil  
level  has  exceeded  the  maximum  
level  as  this  can  only  be  measured  
using a dipstick.
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  be-
tween 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.
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.
t h
e  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.
The instrument panel display only alerts  
the driver when the oil level is at its min- 
imum.

ufacturer’s  Technical  Department  (and  
taken from a sealed container).
Replacement  interval:  refer  to  the  
Maintenance  Service  Booklet  for  your  
vehicle.
Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the vehi- 
cle stationary and on level ground.
This  should  be  checked  frequently,  
and  immediately  if  you  notice  even  the  
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
Level

It  is  normal  for  the  level  to  drop  as

a  chemical  reaction  with  the  
paint  that  rapidly  discolours  
paintwork and may even cause  
the paint to peel off;
 
  Wash the vehicle  immediately to  
remove these marks since it is im-
