Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view. After topping up the oil, the check
per formed by the oil level indicator in
the instrument panel when the ignition
is switched on is not valid during the
30
minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Changing the fl
uid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level

It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a
level sur face with
the engine cool.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
