Engine oil level:
general description
Minimum oil level display A
If the level is above the minimum
level
The “oil level” message appears on the
display, accompanied by squares indi -
cating the level. These squares disap -
pear as the level drops and they are re-
placed by dashes.
To advance to trip computer reading,
press button 1 or 2 again. If the level is at the minimum
The message “adjust oil level” or “oil”
and the © warning light are dis
-
played on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
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.
o il 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.

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.
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.
Risk of injury.
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling
level B be exceeded: this
could damage the engine
and the catalytic converter.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.

Reading the level using the
dipstick
Engine switched off:
– 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.

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).

Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle. –
Unscrew cap 4;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-
pacity between the minimum and the
maximum reading on the dipstick 5 is
1.5 litres, depending on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using dipstick 5 (as
described above).
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.
Do not exceed the max level and
do not forget to refit cap 4 and dip-
stick 5.

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.
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.
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.
