Minimum oil level display A
If the level is above the minimum
level
The “OIL LEVEL” message appears on
the display, accompanied by squares
indicating the level. These squares dis-
appear as the level drops and they are
replaced by dashes.
To advance to trip computer reading,
press button 1 or 2 again. If the level is at the minimum
The “TOP-UP OIL LEVEL” message
and warning light © are displayed
on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
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 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.
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.

Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill
level B be exceeded: risk of damage
to the engine and catalytic con-
verter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.
Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off (please see
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

4.6
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 the cap 1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca- pacity between the “min” and “max”
on the dipstick 2 is 1.5 litres, depend-
ing on the engine);
– wait for 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 is complete, ensure
that the dipstick is fully inserted, or
the cap-type dipstick screwed in com-
pletely.
Do not exceed the “ max” level and
do not forget to refit the cap 1 and
the dipstick 2.

Oil change
Service interval: refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet for your
vehicle.
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).
Engine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
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.
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.
