It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is sometimes necessary to top up the level between oil changes.
However, contact your approved dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being con- sumed 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.
Niveau huile moteur
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Reading the oil level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should have been switched off for some time before- hand to obtain an accurate reading.
– take out the dipstick
1;
– wipe the dipstick using 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 B or exceed
maximum mark A.
A
B
1
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.
Under no circumstances must maximum fill level A be exceeded: risk of damage to the engine and catalytic converter.
Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.

Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for information regarding which grade of oil to use. –
Unscrew cap
2;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca- pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on dipstick 1 is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending on the engine);
– wait approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using dipstick 1 (as described above).
Do not exceed the maximum level and
do not forget to refit cap 2.When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.

Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for information regarding which grade of oil to use.
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.
Engine oil change: if you are changing the oil when the engine is hot, be careful not to scald yourself if the oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an enclosed space as exhaust gases are poisonous.
The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.

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 the approved dealer net-work or from the manufacturer’s web site.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir- cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by the Technical Department and which have been taken from a sealed container.

Coolant
The level when cold must be between the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM marks
indicated on the tank 2.
Top this level up when cold before it reaches the MIN mark.
The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment.
Risk of burns.
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;
– anti-corrosion protection of the cool
- ing system.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.
