Checks

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any   time   (even   with   the   ignition   off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the   ignition   is   switched   on   using   the  
o

il   level   indicator   in   the   instrument  
p

anel for vehicles with an electric oil
level
  gauge,   or   using   the   dipstick.Checking using the dipstick

ull   it   out   again   to   make   the   visual   check:  
t

he   correct   level   is   between   the   marks   A
and

to
 
top
 
up
 
the
 
oil
