BOnnet
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.

In the event of even a slight
impact involving the radia -
tor grille or bonnet, have
the bonnet lock checked by
an approved Dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

Check that nothing has been left in the
engine compartment.
To close the bonnet, replace stay 2
back into its holder 3, hold the bonnet in
the middle and lower it to 30 cm above
the closed position, then release it. It
will latch automatically under its own
weight.
Ensure that the bonnet is
properly locked.
Check that nothing is pre -
venting the catch from lock-
ing (gravel, cloth, etc.).
After any procedure in the engine
compartment, make sure that you
do not forget anything (cloth, tools,

If the oil level reaches the minimum
mark: the message “ Top up oil level ”
appears on the instrument panel dis -
play.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
Engine oil level: general information
enGIne OIL LeVeL: general information (1/2)
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.
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.
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.Oil level information on the
instrument panel
While starting the engine, press either 3
or 4 when the message “Checking con-
trol functions” appears.
if the level is above the minimum
level:
The “Oil level ” message appears on the
display, accompanied by squares 1 in -
dicating the level. These squares dis -
appear as the level drops and they are
replaced by squares 2.
To advance to trip computer reading,
press button 3 or 4 again.

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 the dipstick in as far as it will go
(for vehicles equipped with “cap-type
dipstick” C , screw the cap in com -
pletely);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
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.

Maximum engine oil level
exceeded.
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 splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
Once the operation is complete, ensure
that the dipstick is fully inserted, or
the cap-type dipstick screwed in com -
pletely.

t opping 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).

Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet 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 flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation is complete, ensure
that the dipstick is fully inserted, or
the cap-type dipstick screwed in com -
pletely.
Do not exceed the “maximum” level
and do not forget to refit the cap 1
and dipstick 2.

Engine oil change
enGIne OIL LeVeL: topping up/filling (2/2)
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.
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.
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.

Coolant
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the “ MIn” and “ MAX”
marks on coolant reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before the
“MIn” mark is reached. Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
–
protection against freezing;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool -
ing system. Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. Level 2
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the “
MIn” warning
line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website. t
opping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
