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).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.– Unscrew cap
1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca- 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 drain;
– check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the level is read, ensure that the
dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go
and the cap is completely screwed in.
Do not exceed the MAX level and
do not forget to refit cap 1 and dip-
stick 2.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL : topping up, filling (1/2)

recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.

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.
Engine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL : topping up, filling (2/2)
Please note when work-
ing close to the engine that
it may be hot. In addition,
the engine cooling fan may
start at any moment. The

warning light in the engine compart-
ment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
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).
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
