Topping up/filling

Topping up/filling

The vehicle must be on level ground, with the engine stopped and cold (for example: before the first start of the day).

Before
working in the engine compartment, be sure to switch off the ignition by pressing the engine stop button (refer to the 'Starting and stopping the engine' section in chapter 2).

• Unscrew cap 1;
• restore the level (for information, the capacity between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the dipstick 2 is 1.5 to 2 litres depending on the engine);

To avoid splashes, we recommend using a funnel when adding oil.

• wait about 20 minutes to allow the oil to drain;
• check the level using dipstick 2 (as explained previously).

Once the level has been read, make sure to push the dipstick fully home or screw the dipstick cap fully in.

Do not exceed the 'max' level and remember to refit the cap 1 and the dipstick 2.

Filling
: take care when topping up not to spill oil on engine parts, as this is a fire risk.

Be sure to refit the cap correctly, otherwise oil may spray onto hot engine components, risk of fire.

Do not run the engine in an enclosed space: exhaust gases are toxic. If the level drops abnormally or repeatedly, consult a Brand Representative.When
working near the engine, it may be hot. In addition, the cooling fan may start at any time.

Risk of injury.

When working under the bonnet, make sure the windscreen wiper control is in the off position.
