The Diesel fuel system operates under
very high pressure.
All work on this circuit must be carried out only
by a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the
manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with
the ignition off).
* Depending on engine.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine
having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped with
an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended that
you check the level, and top up if necessary, every
3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
► Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull
it out completely.
► Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,
non-fluffy cloth.
► 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.
A = MAX
B = MIN
Do not start the engine if the level is:
– above mark A: contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
– below mark B: 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.
