ALL-wHEEL DRIvE SYSTEM: 4 wheel drive (4wD) (2/3)
Special note on all-wheel
drive system
– The vehicle may make more
noise when the “AUTO” or “4WD
Lock” modes are activated. This
is normal;
– if the system detects a difference
in the size of the front and rear
wheels (as is the case, for exam-
ple, when the wrong size tyres
are fitted, or if the tyres are un -
der-inflated or significantly worn
on one axle etc.) the message
“4WD not available ” is displayed
on the instrument panel and the
indicator light
‘ flashes.
Select “2WD” mode and drive at
a moderate speed;
– always use four tyres with the
same level of wear;
– as soon as the vehicle speed ex-
ceeds 24 mph (40 km/h) in “4WD
Lock” mode, the system automat-
ically switches back to “AUTO”
mode. The indicator light goes
out;
– when the front and rear wheels
are turning at different speeds
(for example, when driving on
uneven road surfaces, sand or
mud, or when being towed, tyres
with different levels of wear), the
oil temperature may rise, given
the mechanical stresses. In this
case, the system automatically
switches back to “2WD” mode to
prevent overheating. The mes-
sage “ 4w D not available ” is
displayed on the instrument
panel and the
‘ or ’
indicator light comes on. Park
the vehicle in a safe place and
wait until the message “4WD not
available ” disappears.
If the warning appears again,
contact an approved Dealer.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “ Check 4WD” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.

If the oil level reaches the minimum
mark: the message “ Top up oil level ”
appears on the instrument panel dis -
play.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
Engine oil level: general information
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 ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
t he 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.Oil level information on the
instrument panel
While starting the engine, press either 3
or 4 when the message “Checking con-
trol functions” appears.
if the level is above the minimum
level:
The “Oil level ” message appears on the
display, accompanied by squares 1 in -
dicating the level. These squares dis -
appear as the level drops and they are
replaced by squares 2.
To advance to trip computer reading,
press button 3 or 4 again.

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.
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.

Under no circumstances
should maximum filling

could damage the engine
and the catalytic converter.
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.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
Once the operation is complete, ensure
that the dipstick is fully inserted, or
the cap-type dipstick screwed in com -
pletely.

pacity between the minimum and
maximum 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 the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation is complete, ensure
that the dipstick is fully inserted, or

enGIne OIL LeVeL: topping up/filling (2/2)
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.
e ngine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera -
tions in close proximity. In
