ACCESSING THE ENGINE, LEVELS
5
Adding engine oil
Use a funnel or protect
the filling neck area to
avoid engine oil escap-
ing onto a hot part of the engine
compartment or a sensitive part
(e.g. electrical components).
Fire hazard.
Never run the engine in
an enclosed space as
exhaust gases are poi-
sonous.
When working in the en-
gine compartment, en-
sure that the windscreen
wiper stalk is in the park
position.
Risk of injury.
Filling and/or checking
the oil level: when top-
ping up or checking the
oil level, ensure that no
oil leaks onto the engine compo-
nents.
Do not forget to properly close the
cap and refit the dipstick to pre-
vent any oil spatter on hot engine
components.
Fire hazard.
Please note when work-
ing close to the engine
that it may be hot. The
engine cooling fan may
also start at any moment. The
label in the engine com-
partment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
If there is an abnormal or
repeated drop in the fluid
level, consult an approved
dealer.
Engine oil change: if
you are changing the oil
when the engine is hot,
be careful not to scald
yourself as the oil drains.
Coolant level
Combustion engine coolant
With the engine off and the vehicle on
flat ground, the level when cold must
be between the "MINI" and "MAXI"
marks on the coolant reservoir
1
.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the "MINI" mark.
