For physical reasons, the coolant
temperature gauge shows the coolant temperature only if the coolant level is adequate.
Engine oil level monitor
The engine oil level monitor is correct
only if the vehicle is parked on a level
surface with a cold engine.
If the engine oil level is correct when
the ignition is switched on OIL LEVEL
CORRECT appears briefly in the

If the engine oil is above the minimum level, press the trip computer button
on the end of the wiper lever within
30 seconds of switching on the
ignition. The message OIL LEVEL is
displayed in combination with the squares that correspond to the oil
level.
As the oil level diminishes, the
squares in the display are replaced
with dashes.▢▢▢▢▢▢=Maximum level▢▢▢- - -=Intermediate level- - - - - -=Minimum level

Service display
When the ignition is switched on, the
remaining distance before the next
service is due may be shown briefly in the Driver Information Centre. Based
on driving conditions, the interval at
which a service will be indicated can
vary considerably.
When the remaining distance before
the next service is less than
1800 miles or 2 months, SERVICE
IN appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
When the distance reaches 0 miles or
the service date is due, control
indicators o and A illuminate in the
instrument cluster and SERVICE
DUE appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
The vehicle needs a service. Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Resetting the service display After a service, the service displaymust be reset: if available, select the

140Vehicle careBonnetOpening
Pull the release lever and return it to
its original position.
Pull the safety catch, located slightly
left of centre, and open the bonnet.
Pull up the support rod from its holder,
then secure it in the right side hook on the underside of the bonnet.
If the bonnet is opened during an Autostop, the engine will be restarted
automatically for safety reasons.
Closing
Before closing the bonnet, press the
support into the holder.
Lower the bonnet and allow it to drop into the catch from a low height
(20-25 cm). Check that the bonnet is
engaged.
Engine oil
Check the engine oil level manually
on a regular basis to prevent damage
to the engine.
Ensure that the correct specification
of oil is used. Recommended fluids
and lubricants 3 179.
Check with the vehicle on a level
surface. The engine must be at
operating temperature and switched
off for at least 10 minutes.

lubricants and parts
Recommended fluids andlubricants Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.
Damage resulting from the use of
products not in line with these
specifications will not be covered by
the warranty.9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil
aging control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
Dexos is the newest engine oil quality
that provides optimum protection for diesel engines. If it is unavailable,
engine oils of other listed qualities
must be used.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 184.
Topping up engine oil
Engine oils of different manufacturers and brands can be mixed as long as
they comply with the required engine
oil quality and viscosity.
Use of engine oil with only
ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is
prohibited, since it can cause long-
term engine damage under certain
operating conditions.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 184.

180Service and maintenance
Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.
Engine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade
depending on the minimum ambient
temperature 3 184.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only silicate-free long life coolant
(LLC) antifreeze approved for the
vehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C.
This concentration should be
maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that
intend to give additional corrosion
protection or seal against minor leaks
can cause function problems. Liability
for consequences resulting from the
use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.
Brake fluid Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified interval.
