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
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles with and electric oil
level gauge, or using the dipstick.
to e
nsure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level

for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). P

up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms). Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. t

Particle filter (Diesel)
the start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by
the temporary illumination of
this warning lamp accompanied by a message
in the multifunction screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
