PROTECTIVE SHIELD UNDER

The car is fitted with a protective shield
under the engine.
IMPORTANTWhen changing the en-
gine oil and filter, checking and changing
the gearbox and differential oil, this pro-
tection should be removed. This operation

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Fig. 3:3.2 V6 24V version
Fig. 4:JTD 20V Multijet version
The engine oil level should be checked
when the vehicle is standing on a level
surface a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has been switched off.
Remove the dipstick (A), clean it, then
re-insert it completely, remove it once again
and check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.The interval between the MIN and MAX
marks corresponds to approximately 1
litre of oil.
Max. engine oil consumption is usually
400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered sta-
bilised after the first 5000-6000 km.
