ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (3/3)/OIL CHANGE
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Engine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be care-
ful not to scald yourself as
the oil drains.
Filling: take care when
topping up the oil that
no oil drips onto engine
components - risk of fire.
Remember to refit the cap securely
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes
onto hot engine components.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.

Oil change capacity
Please refer to the maintenance docu-
ment for your vehicle, or contact an au-
thorised dealer.
Always check the engine oil level using
the dipstick, as explained previously (it
should never fall below the minimum
level, or be over the maximum level on
the dipstick).Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling level
be exceeded: this could damage the
engine and the catalytic converter.
If the level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an authorised dealer.
Please note when work-
ing close to the engine that
it may be hot. The engine
cooling fan may also start
at any moment. The
 warning
light in the engine compartment re-
minds you of this.
Risk of injury.
