SPEcIAL FEATURES OF PETROL vERSIONS
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 the hot exhaust system.
The following operating conditions
should be avoided:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit up,
– using leaded petrol,
– using fuel or lubrication additives
which are not approved.
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 regu
-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
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
cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.

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.
Once the level has been checked,
ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as
far as it will go or that the cap-type dip-
stick is completely screwed in.

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.
Risk of injury.
Maximum engine oil level
exceeded.
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.
To prevent splashback, you are rec-
ommended to use a funnel to top up
the oil.
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling
level B be exceeded: this
could damage the engine
and the catalytic converter.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
