CHECKING LEVELS.
The topping-up plug B and the dipstick A for checking the engine oil level and the reservoir C for the engine coolant can be
accessed by lifting the tailgate (see the procedure in the "Engine cover/Luggage Compartment" paragraph in the "Knowing
your car" chapter).

ENGINE OIL
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick
A fig. 119.
For this check, take out the dipstick
from its seat, clean it with a lint-free
cloth, reinsert the dipstick; take it out
again and check the oil level.
121)
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
mark, add oil through the filler B fig.
119 until it reaches the MAX mark.
22)
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract the engine oil dipstick again and
check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
121)
Make sure to tighten the oil plug in
its seat thoroughly after possibly
topping the oil up.
The range between the MIN and MAX
levels corresponds to approximately
1 litre of oil.
Engine oil consumption
23)3)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine run for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
stopping it before you check the level.
ENGINE COOLANT
24)122)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, unscrew reservoir
plug C fig. 119 and add the fluid
described in the "Fluids and lubricants"
paragraph of the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
WINDSCREEN WASHER
FLUID
123) 124)
To check the windscreen washer fluid
level, proceed as follows:
❒to avoid any interference during the
procedure, lift the windscreen wiper
blade according to the "Windscreen
wiper" paragraph in the
"Maintenance and care" chapter;❒loosen the 4 self-tapping screws A
fig. 121 using the supplied
screwdriver. Remove the engine
cover grille;
❒release the plug from the opening;
❒leaving the plug close to the opening,
put a finger on the central hole B fig.
122 in the plug and remove it: the
level can be seen on the control pipe
C fig. 123 due to capillarity;
❒after the check, reinsert the plug B
with the control pipe C in the initial
position;
❒reposition the engine cover grille and
tighten the 4 self-tapping screws A.
WARNING Re-close the plug holding it
horizontally (not directed towards the
engine cover) to prevent the opening
tang from remaining locked in a position
difficult to reach.
