Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom   of   the   boot,   as   close   as   possible   to   the   rear   seats.
Limit
  the   loads   carried   in   the   vehicle   and   reduce   wind   resistance   (roof  
b

ars,   roof   rack,   bicycle   carrier,   trailer...).   Use   a   roof   box   in   preference.

Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a
t   each   change   of   season,

after   the   first   1   800   miles  
(

that
 
you
 
will
 
see
 
the

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried out   with   the   dipstick,   located   under  
t

he   bonnet.   For   the   position   of   the  
d

ipstick,   refer   to   the   under-bonnet  
v

iew   on   a   previous   page.Checking with dipstick
If you find that the oil level is above the A mark or below the B   mark,   do not star t the engine.
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  
a

ny

ignition
 
off).
Check
 
all

regularly,
 
in

with
 
the
 
manufacturer's
