correctly.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, etc.) be limited.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the
manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's 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 any time (even with
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine
having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended that
you check the level, and top up if necessary, every
3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►  Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull
it out completely.

Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►  Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull
it out completely.
►  Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-
free cloth.


►  Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,
then pull it out again to visually check the oil level:
the correct level is between marks A (max) and
B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–

abo
ve mark A: contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
–

belo
w mark B: top up the engine oil
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine
oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine
and complies with the recommendations in
the service schedule supplied with the vehicle
(or available from your dealer and qualified
workshops).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
the contractual warranty in the event of engine
failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please
refer to the corresponding under-bonnet engine
compartment illustration.
►  Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).
►  Wait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
►  Top up the level if necessary.
►  After checking the level, carefully screw the
oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in
its tube.
Within 30 minutes of adding oil, the oil
level indication in the instrument panel
when the ignition is switched on is not valid.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the
"MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pad
wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
