The message “oil” is
displayed, alternating with dashes No display
Message 2
“Adjust oil level”
If the level is at minimum: depending
on the vehicle, the message “top up oil
level” or “oil” appears on the display, al-
ternating with dashes and the
©
warning light on the instrument panel
comes on: message 2.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
Engine oil level: general information
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.
Minimum oil level warning on instru-
ment panel
When the ignition is switched on, if the
level is above the minimum level, the
message “oil ok” or “oil level correct” is
shown on the display for approximately
15 seconds.
For more information, press the trip
computer readout button: the message
“oil level” will be shown on the display
with squares which are replaced by
dashes when the level drops.
To advance to trip computer reading,
press the button again.
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 your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)
after the running in period.
Check the oil level at regular inter
-
vals and 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.
The 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.

Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Reading the level using the dipstick
– take out the dipstick;
– wipe the dipstick using a clean, lint-
free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will
go;
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been carried
out, ensure that the dipstick is pushed
in as far as it will go.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.The engine may be hot

tions in close proximity. In

could damage the engine
and the catalytic converter.

use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
– protection against freezing;
– an anti-corrosion protection for the
cooling system.
