Engine oil level indicator
(Depending on version)
On versions fitted with an electric gauge,
the engine oil level status is displayed on the
instrument panel for a few seconds when the
ignition is switched on, after the servicing
information, in the form of messages.
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.
Low oil level
This is indicated by a message prompting you
to top up the level, accompanied by the lighting
of the Service warning lamp and an audible signal.
If a 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.
Oil gauge malfunction
This is indicated by the message "Oil level
measurement invalid" on the instrument panel.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a malfunction of the
electric gauge, the oil level is no longer
monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located in the engine compartment.
For more information on Checking levels, refer
to the corresponding section.

Diesel fuel system
This system is under very high pressure.
All work must be carried out only by a dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the Manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the
Manufacturer's requirements 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 and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine
having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped with
an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended that
you check the level, and top up if necessary, every
3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.

Practical information07
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
► Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull
it out completely.
►  Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-
free cloth.


►  Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,
then pull it out again to visually check the oil level:
the correct level is between marks A (max) and
B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–

abo
ve mark A: contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
–

belo
w mark B: top up the engine oil
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine
oil, check that the oil is suitable for your engine
and complies with the recommendations in
the service schedule supplied with the vehicle
(or available from your dealer or qualified
workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please
refer to the corresponding engine compartment
illustration.
►  Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).
►  Wait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
►  Top up the level if necessary.
►  After checking the level, carefully screw the
oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the
instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes
following an addition of oil.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the
"MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pads
for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with the
engine cold.
A level of coolant that is too low risks causing
major damage to the engine; the coolant level
must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, it
is essential to top it up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least
one hour after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need to
top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the
cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed
product.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid
containing an anti-freeze agent which is
