Checking
Oil level correct
In the event of a malfunction of the
electric gauge, the oil level is no longer
monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located in the engine compartment.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature
and pressure in the cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
► wait at least one hour for the engine to cool,
► unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop,
This is indicated by a message on the instrument
panel.
► when the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap,
Low oil level
► top up the level to the "MAX" mark.
For more information on Checking levels, refer
to the corresponding section.
AdBlue® range indicators
(BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with
a system that associates the SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot
function without AdBlue® fluid.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the
reserve level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400
and 0 km)), a warning lamp lights up when
the ignition is switched on and an estimate
of the distance that can be travelled before
engine starting is prevented is displayed in the
instrument panel.
Be aware of the risk of scalding when
topping up the coolant. Do not fill above
the maximum level (indicated on the
reservoir).
This is indicated by a message on the instrument
panel.
If a low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid
damage to the engine.
Engine oil level indicator
(Depending on version)
On versions fitted with an electric gauge, the
engine oil level status is displayed on the
instrument panel for a few seconds when the
ignition is switched on, at the same time as the
servicing information.
For more information on Checking levels, refer
to the corresponding section.
Oil gauge malfunction
The engine starting prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue® tank is empty.
It is then no longer possible to start the
engine until the minimum level of AdBlue® has
been topped up.
The level read will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
This is indicated by the display of a message on
the instrument panel.

workshop.
