Engine oil level indicator
Oil level correct
Low oil level
(Depending on version) The level read will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30
minutes.
It is indicated by "OIL" flashing, accompanied
by the Ser vice warning lamp lighting up, an
audible signal and a

message.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a
check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a
few
seconds after switching the ignition on, after
the servicing information.

AdBlue® range indicators
These range indicators are present only on
BlueHDi Diesel versions.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is on reser ve or after
detection of a

fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of the risk of non-
starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y.
Range greater than 1,500

miles (2,400 km)
When switching on the ignition, there is no
automatic display of range in the instrument
panel.
Range between 1,500

miles and 370 miles
(2,400

and 600

km) Go to a
member of the dealer network or
a qualified workshop to have the AdBlue
®
topped up.
You can also top up the tank yourself.
Range below 370

miles (600

km)Oil level indicator fault
It is indicated by " OIL- -" flashing.
Contact the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a
fault with the electric indicator,
the oil level is no longer monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
When driving, this message is displayed every
30
seconds until the AdBlue level has been
topped up.
Go to a
member of the dealer network or
a
qualified workshop to have the AdBlue
®
topped up.
You can also top up the tank yourself.
Other wise you will not be able to restart the
vehicle.
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a

message (e.g. "Top
up emissions additive: Starting prevented in
900


miles") indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres.
When driving, the message is displayed every
185

miles (300

km) until the level is topped up. When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes and the Service warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an audible signal
and the display of a

message (e.g. "Top up
emissions additive: Starting prevented in
350


miles") indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop.
The liquids must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine. Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Return used oil to the dealer network or
a
qualified workshop and dispose of it in
the containers reser ved for this purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick. To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a
level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30

minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
ser vices (or oil changes). We recommend that
you check the level, and top up if necessary,
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

Practical information

156
A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-

I

f the level is above the MAX mark (risk of
damage to the engine), contact the dealer
network or a

qualified workshop.
-

I

f the level is below the MIN mark, you must
top up the engine oil.
Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view. After topping up the oil, the check
per formed by the oil level indicator in
the instrument panel when the ignition
is switched on is not valid during the
30
minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Changing the fl
uid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a
level sur face with
the engine cool.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.

Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
In addition, with the engine hot and as the
cooling system is pressurised, wait at least
one hour after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
