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).
Oil level
the check of the level is done with
the dipstick, located under the
bonnet. Refer to the description of
your engine compartment for the
position of the dipstick.Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.

on level ground and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). P

recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
during the 30 minutes after topping up.

Particle filter (Diesel)
the start of saturation of the particle filter is
indicated by the temporary illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen. As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 25 mph (40 km/h) for
about 20 minutes (with the 1.6 litre HDi
engine, the minimum speed is 37 mph
(60 km/h)).
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.
For more information on Checking
levels
and the Diesel additive level in
particular, refer to the corresponding
section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.

vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration.
