ENGINE OIL
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick A
fig. 121.
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 level of the oil is close to or below
the MIN mark, add oil via the filler fitting
B fig. 121 until the MAX mark is
reached.
23)
To unscrew and re-tighten the filler cap
it is necessary to use the tool A shown
in fig. 123, found in the car.
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.

WARNING Make sure that the oilcap is tightened properly in its seat
after topping the oil up.
Once the cap has been tightened,
before closing the engine bonnet,
remove the tool A fig. 123and
replace it in its housing to prevent losing
it or damaging the engine.
The range between the MIN and MAX
levels corresponds to approximately 1
litre of oil.
Engine oil consumption
24)3)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to be 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
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. 121 and add the fluid
described in the "Fluids and lubricants"
paragraph of the "TechnicalSpecifications" chapter.
WINDSCREEN WASHER
FLUID

loosen the 4 self-tapping screws A
fig. 124 using the supplied screwdriver.
Remove the engine cover grille;
release the plug from the opening;
