blanking bolts 1 which protect the
mounting bolt locations.
When fitting roof bars, at the front of the
vehicle, replace the blanking bolts with
the mounting bolts supplied with the
roof bars. Behind seal 3 , position the
roof bars in the reinforced area 4 pro -
vided.
Never remove blanking

with screws, only use these screws
for attaching the roof bars to the ve-
hicle.

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.

topping up/filling
Special features of 1.2 16V
engines
To unclip the dipstick, lever it by hand
while pressing engine cover A.
Topping up/fillingThe 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 dipstick 2 is
between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending
on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using 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 or that the
cap-type dipstick is completely screwed
in.
Engine oil grade

Booklet for your vehicle.

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.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
