dipstick

– remove the dipstick and wipe with a

clean, lint-free cloth;

– push the dipstick in as far as it will

go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-

type dipstick C, screw the cap in as

far as it will go);

In order to prevent splashback, it is

recommended that a funnel be used

when topping up/filling with oil

– take out the dipstick again;

– read the level: it should never fall

below minimum mark A or exceed

maximum mark B.

Once the operation has been com-

pleted, ensure that the dipstick is

pushed in as far as it will go or that

the “cap-type dipstick” is completely

screwed in.

The engine may be hot

when carrying out opera-

tions in close proximity. In

addition, the engine cooling

fan can come on at any moment.

Under no circumstances

should maximum filling

level B be exceeded: this
