–  remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth;
–  push the dipstick in as far as it will  go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick C, screw the cap in as 
far as it will go);
–  take out the dipstick again;
–  read the level: it should never fall  below minimum mark  A or exceed 
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is 
pushed in as far as it will go or that 
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely 
screwed in.
Reading the oil levelThe oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine 
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read 
the exact oil level and make sure 
that the maximum level has not been 
exceeded (risk of engine damage).  
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only 
alerts the driver when the oil level is at 
its minimum.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for 
lubrication and cooling of moving parts 
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved 
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being 
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) 
after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil 
level from time to time and certainly 
before any long journey to avoid the 
risk of damaging your engine.

In order to prevent splashback, it is 
recommended that a funnel be used 
when topping up/filling with oil.
Before performing any 
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must 
be switched off by pressing 
the engine stop button (please see 
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
Exceeding the maximum 
engine oil level
Under no circumstances 
must the maximum fill 
level  B be exceeded: risk of damage 
to the engine and catalytic con-
verter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum 
level,  do not start your vehicle  and 
contact an approved Dealer.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the 
“Emergency spare wheel” and in-
structions on “Changing a wheel” in 
Section 5.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Fitting new tyres
TYRES (3/3)
Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be 
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that 
your vehicle retains maximum adhe-
sion.
Warning : These tyres sometimes have 
a specific direction of rotation and a 
maximum speed index which may be 
lower than the maximum speed of your 
vehicle.
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be 
used for a limited period and as laid 
down by local legislation. It is neces-
sary to observe the speed specified by 
current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be 
fitted to the two front wheels.
Chains may only be fitted 
to tyres of the same size 
as those originally fitted to 
your vehicle.
In all cases, we would recommend 
that you contact an approved dealer 
who will be able to advise you on 
the choice of equipment which is 
most suitable for your vehicle.
18” wheels cannot be 
fitted with chains.
If you wish to fit snow 
chains, you must use spe-
cial equipment .
Consult an approved Dealer.
Use in winter
Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow 
chains to the rear axle is strictly for-
bidden.
Chains cannot be fitted  to tyres which 
are larger than those originally fitted to 
the vehicle.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out 
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may 
change your vehicle as follows:
–  it may mean that your vehicle no  longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
–  it may change the way it handles  when cornering;
–  it may cause the steering to be  heavy;
–  it may affect the use of snow  chains.
