Practical information
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 may be 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 oil level is checked on a level
surface with the engine stopped
for at least 30 minutes, 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
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely.
F Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,
non-fluffy cloth.
