Fluid level checks
ENGINE OIL CHECK
Note: If it is necessary to check the oil level
when the engine is hot, switch off the engine
and let the vehicle stand for 5 minutes to allow
the oil to drain back into the sump. Do not start
the engine.
Check the engine oil weekly. If any
significant or sudden drop in oil level is
noted, seek qualified assistance.
Never allow the oil level to fall below the
lower mark or notch on the dipstick.
The oil level can then be checked as follows:
1.
Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade
clean with a lint free cloth.
If the message ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
LOW is displayed, stop the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so and seek
qualified assistance. Do not start the
engine until the cause has been
rectified.
2.
Fully re-insert the dipstick and withdraw
again to check the oil level.
As a general guide, if the oil level on the
dipstick:
�
�
�
Is nearer to the upper mark or notch than
the lower, do not add oil.
Is nearer to the lower mark or notch than
the upper, add 0.5 litre (1 pint) of oil.
Is below the lower mark or notch, add for
the diesel engine, 1.5 litre (2.6 pints) of oil
and for the petrol engine, 0.8 litre (1.4
pints) of oil. Re-check the level after a
further 5 minutes.
TOPPING UP THE ENGINE OIL
Your vehicle warranty may be
invalidated if damage is caused by
using oil that does not meet the
required specification.
Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause
excessive engine wear, a build up of
sludge and deposits, and increase
pollution. It could also lead to engine
failure.

not overfilled.
