Practical information
Topping up the engine oil level
The check and top-up must only be done with the
engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage to
the engine.
Filling with pure water is prohibited under
all circumstances (risk of freezing,
limestone deposits, etc.).
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please
refer to the corresponding under-bonnet engine
compartment illustration.
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN” mark, it
is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least
one hour after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need to
top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the
cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop.
►ꢀ Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).
►ꢀ Wait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel with

►ꢀ After checking the level, carefully screw the
oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in
its tube.
this warning lamp comes on fixed, accompanied
by an audible warning and a message warning
that the additive level is too low.
Within 30 minutes of adding oil, the oil
level indication in the instrument panel
when the ignition is switched on is not valid.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up without delay by
a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
AdBlue (BlueHDi)
Brake fluid
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is
reached.
The level of this fluid should be close to the
"MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pad
wear.
Screenwash fluid
For more information on Indicators and in
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in
accordance with regulations, you must top up the
AdBlue tank.
For more information on AdBlue® (BlueHDi), and
in particular on the supply of AdBlue, refer to the
corresponding section.
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use
mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
containing an agent to prevent freezing must
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing
conditions, in order to protect the elements of the
system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
