the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30


minutes.

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
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
to e
nsure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face with the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). P
e

up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms). Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. t
o
p them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a P
