Engine oil level
General information
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level
between oil changes.
However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.11 gal (0.5 litre)
is being consumed every 600 miles
(1,000 km) after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Before performing any
action in the engine
compartment, the
ignition must be
switched off (please see the
information on "Starting, stopping
the engine" in Section 2).
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the
vehicle on level ground, after the
engine has been switched off for some
time.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not
been exceeded (risk of engine
damage). Refer to the following
pages.
Adding engine oil
Use a funnel or protect
the filling neck area to
avoid engine oil
escaping onto a hot part of the
engine compartment or a
sensitive part (e.g. electrical
components).
Fire hazard.
Minimum oil level warning on the
instrument panel
Depending on the vehicle, the
instrument panel display only alerts the
driver when the oil level is at its
minimum.
If the "WARNING: Top Up Engine Oil"
message is displayed on the
instrument panel, check the oil level on
the instrument panel or using the
dipstick. Refer to the following page.
The instrument panel
display only gives a
warning when the
minimum oil level has
been reached; to check that the
maximum level has not been
exceeded, the dipstick must be
used.
Minimum oil level check on the
instrument panel
With the vehicle positioned on level
ground with the ignition off for
approximately five minutes, press the
engine Start/Stop button without
pressing the brake: the "Vehicle
Checks in Progress" message
appears.
After a few seconds:
– If the level is correct: the "OK"
message is displayed on the
instrument panel;
– if the level is at the minimum: the
"WARNING: Top Up Engine Oil"
message appears on the instrument
panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
