ENGINE OIL LEVEL
An engine uses oil for lubrication
and cooling of moving parts and it is
normal to top up the level between
oil changes.
However, contact your RENAULT
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is
being consumed every 600 miles
(1000 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.
Reading the oil level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
The oil level can be read:
- on the instrument panel;
- from the dipstick.
Reading the level on the instrument
panel
When the ignition has been
switched on for approximately
15 seconds:
- if the level is correct,thedisplay
indicates “Oil level OK”:
message 1.
Special note: if you wish to have a
more precise indication of the oil
level, press the trip mileage reset
button or the information scroll
button on the trip computer.
The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. They
disappear as the level drops and are
replaced by dashes: example
message 2.
To advance to trip computer
reading, press the button again.
- if the level is at minimum: the top
up oil level message appears on
the display, the squares are
replaced by dashes (message 3)
and the warning on the
instrument panel lights up.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon
as possible.
