ENGINE OIL
168)
86)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick A.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
reference, add oil through the filler B
until it reaches the MAX reference.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
87)
3)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
When the vehicle 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 turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.

If the level is too low, unscrew the cap
of reservoir C and add the fluid
described in the "Technical

If the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D
and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
IMPORTANT The headlight washer
system (present) will not operate when
the fluid level is low, even though the
windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate.BRAKE FLUID
172) 173)
89)
Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo reservoir cap E and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
IMPORTANT Carefully clean the cap of
the reservoir and the surrounding
surface. Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal to
or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic
(i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this
reason, if the vehicle is mainly used in
areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid should
be replaced at more frequent intervals
than specified in the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan".
