If the oil level reaches the minimum
mark: the message “ Top up oil level ”
appears on the instrument panel dis -
play.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
Engine oil level: general information
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 ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
t he 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 minimum.Oil level information on the
instrument panel
While starting the engine, press either 3
or 4 when the message “Checking con-
trol functions” appears.
if the level is above the minimum
level:
The “Oil level ” message appears on the
display, accompanied by squares 1 in -
dicating the level. These squares dis -
appear as the level drops and they are
replaced by squares 2.
To advance to trip computer reading,
press button 3 or 4 again.

Reading the level using the
dipstick
– remove the dipstick (refer to the fol-
lowing pages for its location) and
wipe it with a clean lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go
(for vehicles equipped with “cap-type
dipstick” C , screw the cap in com -
pletely);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera -
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.

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.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
Once the operation is complete, ensure
that the dipstick is fully inserted, or
the cap-type dipstick screwed in com -
pletely.
