Engine oil level
general information
If the level is at minimum: “ok” will not
appear on the display; dashes and “oil”
will flash (message 2) and, depending
on the vehicle,
ø lights up on the
instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
The
ø warning light comes on
while driving when the oil change/serv-
ice interval is reached.

For more information, press the trip
mileage recorder reset button.
The squares which appear on the dis-
play indicate the level. These symbols
disappear as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by dashes.
engIne OIL LeveL: general information (1/2)
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.
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 an
approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres
is being consumed every 600 miles
(1,000 km) after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the
vehicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
t h

e 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 min-
imum.

Reading the level using the
dipstick
– Remove the dipstick (refer to the
following 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
d

ipstick” C , screw the cap in com-
pletely);
–

take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall
b

elow minimum mark B or exceed
maximum mark

A.
Once the operation has been completed,
ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as
far as it will go or that the “cap-type dip-
stick” is completely screwed in.
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.
Under no circumstances
must maximum fill lev-
e
l A be exceeded: risk of
damage to the engine and
catalytic converter.
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.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.

t opping 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
m

aximum reading on the dipstick 2
is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend-
ing on the engine);
–

wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
–

check the level using dipstick 2 (as
described above).
Do not exceed the maximum level and
do not forget to refit cap

come on at any moment.
Risk of burns.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website.
t opping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by the man-
ufacturer’s Technical Department (and
taken from a sealed container).
Replacement interval: refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet for your
vehicle.
Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the vehi-
cle stationary and on level ground.
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.

Coolant
Level checking intervals
Check the level regularly (severe
damage is likely to be caused to the
engine if there is insufficient coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
–

protection against freezing,
– anti-corrosion protection of the cool -
ing system.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Level
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
The level when cold should be be-
tween the “ M
In ” and “ MAX” marks on
coolant reservoir

Top this level up when cold before the
“MI
n” mark is reached.

as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.

Bodywork maintenance
BOdywORk MAIntenAnCe (1/2)
– Use solvents not approved by our
Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.
–

Drive frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without washing the ve-
hicle, particularly under the wheel
arches and body.
y ou should not:
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents (eg. the engine compart-
ment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (eg. inside the fuel flap)
and painted plastic external fittings
(eg. bumpers) using high-pressure
cleaning equipment or by spraying
on products not approved by our
Technical Department. If adequate
precautions are not taken, this could
give rise to corrosion or operational
faults.
–

Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
–

Scrape off mud or dirt without pre -
wetting.
–

Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im -
pacts.
Protection against the effects
of corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion prod-
ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to
the effects of:
–

corrosives in the atmosphere
– atmospheric pollution (urban and
industrial areas);
–

saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather);
–

seasonal and damp climatic con -
ditions, (e.g.: road salt in winter,
water from road cleaners, etc.).
–

abrasives
Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other vehi-
cles, etc.
–

minor impacts
You should take a minimum number of
precautions in order to safeguard your
vehicle against such risks and not to
lose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti-
corrosion protection.

– Before going through a roller type
car wash, return the windscreen
wiper stalk to park position (refer to
the information on the “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1). Check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights, door mirrors, etc.,
and be sure to hold the wiper blades
and radio aerial in place with adhe-
sive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
–

Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products approved
by our Technical Department to
protect them after they have been
cleaned.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
– Observe the vehicle stopping dis-
tances when driving on gravelled
surfaces to prevent paint damage.
–

Repair, or have repaired quickly,
areas where the paint has been dam-
aged, to prevent corrosion spread-
ing.
–

Remember to visit the body shop
periodically if your vehicle has an
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
–

Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
y ou should
– Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off , with cleaning products
recommended by our Technical
Department (never use abrasive
products) and be sure to jet-rinse
off:
–

spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
–

bird droppings, which cause
a chemical reaction with the
paint that rapidly discolours
paintwork and may even cause
the paint to peel off;


Wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol-
ishing;
–

salt, particularly in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads have been gritted;
–

mud in the wheel arches and un -
derneath the body which form
damp patches.
