SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using oil or fuel additives which are not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by reg-
ularly taking your vehicle to your ap-
proved dealer at the intervals speci-
fied in your Maintenance Service
Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (1/3)
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day). – Unscrew cap
1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca- pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on dipstick 2 is
between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending
on the engine);
– wait approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
Do not exceed the MAX level and
do not forget to refit dipstick 2 and
cap 1.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (3/3)
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Resetting the alert after an oil
change
(depending on the vehicle)
If you change the oil yourself, you will
need to reset the oil change warning.
To do this, after switching on the igni-
tion, for ten seconds you must:
– Depress the accelerator pedal fully,
– with your foot on the accelerator, de-press the brake pedal three times in
succession.
Reinitialisation is complete when the
# indicator light goes out. If this is
not the case, repeat the operation.
Special case: if you change the oil
before the oil change interval exceeded
warning is displayed, it will also be nec-
essary to reset the display. In this case,
the
# warning light comes on for
approximately 5 seconds to confirm the
reset.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle .
Contact an authorised dealer.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.

the dipstick).
