h) Mileage before serviceWith the ignition switched on and the engine not running ,
when the message “SERVICE INTERVALS” is displayed, press
button 2 or 3 for around 5 seconds to display the mileage before
the next service (distance or time remaining before the next oil
change). When the range approaches its limit, there are several
possible scenarios:
– distance/time remaining less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or
one month : the message “Service due in” is displayed ac-
companied by the nearest term (distance or time);
– range equal to 0 km/miles or service date reached: the
message “SERVICE REQUIRED” is displayed accompanied
by warning light
©.
The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.

Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies accord\
ing to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed ,
door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can
therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance t\
ravelled.
Resetting: To reset the mileage before the next oil change, display the remaining ra\
nge (distance and time), then press and hold
button 2 or 3 for approximately 10 seconds until the display shows the mileage before\
oil change without flashing.

4.4
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 your 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.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling
level B be exceeded: this could
damage the engine and the cata-
lytic converter.
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.
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 ex-
ceeded (risk of engine damage).
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.
– remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go;
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the level has been read, push the
dipstick in as far as it will go.

B
The engine must be
stopped before any action
(and not on standby): stop
the engine (please refer
to the information on “Starting and
stopping the engine” in Section 2).

4.5
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (1/2)
The engine must be
stopped before any action
(and not on standby): stop
the engine (please refer
to the information on “Starting and
stopping the engine” in Section 2).
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 careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
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.
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.
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.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (2/2)OIL CHANGE
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 grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

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 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 flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go and that
the cap is completely screwed in.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
Do not exceed the max level and
do not forget to refit cap 1 and dip-
stick 2.
