One-touch mode
Depending on the vehicle, this mode
works in addition to the operation of the
electric windows described previously.
It is only fitted to the driver’s window.
Briefly press or pull the switch 1 as far
as it will go: the window will wind down
or up fully. Pressing the switch again
stops the window moving.
Note: If the driver’s window detects re-
sistance when closing (e.g. fingers, tree
branch, etc.), it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.
These systems operate with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key or remote
control inside and never
leave a child (or a pet) unsupervi-
sed, even for a short while.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine
or activating equipment (such as
the gear lever or electric windows).
If any part of the body becomes
trapped, reverse the direction of the
window immediately by pressing the
relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.

These may damage the engine or
cause a fire.
Make sure the engine

before and during its clo-
sure.
Make sure the engine access flap is

Risk of intoxication from fumes from
the engine compartment.
1A
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. Risk of injury.
As the engine is located under the
boot, do not slide or store anything
under the boot carpet.

4.3
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 ensure that
the maximum level is not exceeded
(risk of engine damage). Refer to the
following pages.
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.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
A
B
C
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
– 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 go below the “min” A or above the
“max” 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.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
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 conver-
ter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.

4.4
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is star-
ted up for the first time in the day).
– Unscrew the cap 2;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-pacity between the “min” and “max”
on the dipstick 1 is between 0.9 and
1.1 litres, depending on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 1
(as described above). Once the operation has been comple-
ted, ensure that the dipstick is pushed
in as far as it will go and that the cap is
completely screwed in.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (1/2)
Do not exceed the
“max” level and
do not forget to refit the cap 2 and
dipstick 1.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.

Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.
