Practical information
A = MAX
B = MIN
Do not start the engine if the level is:
-
Above mark A, then contact a dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
-
Below mark B, then top up the engine oil
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing
the oil, check that the oil is the correct
grade for your engine and conforms to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
F
Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between marks A and B.
Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
F Wait a few minutes before checking the
level again using the dipstick.
F Add more oil if necessary.
F
After checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
During the 30
minutes after topping up the
oil, the check performed with the oil level
indicator 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.
If topping up, clean the cap before
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid
from a
sealed container.
Engine coolant
Check the engine coolant level
regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage
to the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the
"MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid the risk of scalding if you need to top
up in an emergency, wrap a
cloth around the
cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
