The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives
which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of
fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu
-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con -
verter, do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
keep trying to start the engine, but con-
tact an approved Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub -
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.

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 always
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Engine oil level:
general information
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
Consult an approved dealer at once
if you notice an abnormal or re -
peated drop in any of the fluid levels.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
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 splashing, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling the oil.
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 in the dipstick 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 operation has been com -
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling
level B be exceeded: this
could damage the engine
and the 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.
