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 so equipped, or
u
sing the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick

manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If
a
