REAR SEAT FUNCTIONS (2/2)To fit a seat
Attach the hooks 8 to rail 7 marked 9 by
gently lifting the back of the seat.
Tilt the seat as far forward as possible,
movement B (handle 6 locks in place).
Note: it may be necessary to move
the passenger and/or driver’s seats
forwards and to lower the seatback in
order to tilt the seat as far forwards as
possible.
Lower the seat until it locks in place at
floor level.
Check that it is correctly locked.
When fitting side seats, make sure
that the seat belt buckle is inside the
vehicle.
To remove a seat
With the seat folded down, gently lower
it while lifting handle 6.
Release the handle and guide the seat
to the floor.
Remove the seat from the vehicle by
lifting it.
Once the rear seats have been re-
moved, ensure that they are rested
on a flat surface so as not to damage
the units under the seats (depend-
ing on the vehicle).
When refitting the seat-
back, make sure it is cor-
rectly locked in place.
If seat covers are fitted ,
make sure these do not prevent the
seatback latch from locking in.
Make sure that the seat belts are
positioned correctly.
Reposition the headrests.
When driving with the seats
folded down: ensure you
check that the seats are
moved fully forward before
folding them down and place the
load as close as possible to prevent
the seats from falling back when ac-
celerating or during sudden braking.

Always place the objects to be trans-
ported so that their largest side rests
against the back of the rear bench seat,
for normal loads (example A) or against
the back of the front seats B when the
rear bench seatbacks are folded down.
If you have to place objects on the
folded seat back, it is vital that you

– 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;

maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been com-

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
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.
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.
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.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
