ENGINE OIL LEVEL
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 RENAULT
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres 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
particularly before any long
journey to avoid the risk of
damaging your engine.
To be able to read the exact oil level
and make sure that the maximum
level has not been exceeded (risk of
engine damage), the dipstick must
be used.
Refer to the information on Engine
oil level/Topping-up/Filling in the
following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is
at its minimum.
Minimum oil level warning on
instrument panel
When ignition has been switched
on for approximately 30 seconds:
- if the level is above the minimum,
the display shows Oil ok: display
message 1.
To gain a more precise indication
of the 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 oil level drops and
they are replaced by a dash.
To advance to trip computer
reading, press the button again.
- if the level is at the minimum: the
word OK does not appear on the
display; dashes and the word Oil
flash (display message 2), and the
message “Adjust oil level” is
displayed on the information
display.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon
as possible.
The display only warns
the driver if the oil level
is at the minimum level.
It does not inform the
driver that the oil level has
exceeded the maximum level as
this can only be measured using
a dipstick.
