Engine Oil
The engine oil level can be seen on the
instrument cluster display every time
the engine is started, or on the
Information and Entertainment system
display by activating on the main menu
(MENU button) the following functions
in sequence: "Apps"; "My Car" and "Oil
Level".
Check on the display using the
6 notches that the oil level is between
the MIN and MAX level: 1 notch MIN
level, 6 notches MAX level.
If the oil level is close to or below the
MIN mark, add oil gradually through the
filler, (refer to "Top-Up And Oil Level
Indication Update On Display" in this
section) considering that each notch
shown on the display corresponds to
approximately 8.8 fl oz (250 ml).
The oil level can also be checked
manually.
Caution!
Make sure not to add too much oil when
topping off the engine. Engine oil in excess
may damage the engine. Have the vehicle
checked. Never exceed the MAX level
when topping off engine oil. It is advisable
to check the oil level in intermediate steps
using the oil dipstick.
The oil level is not refreshed immediately on
the display after topping off. Consequently,
wait for the oil level to be refreshed on the
display and follow the procedure below.

MIN and MAX marks on dipstick, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.

Top-Up And Oil Level Indication
Update On Display
If a engine oil top-off is needed, in order
to ensure the correct indication of the
oil level on the display, leave the vehicle
on flat ground with the engine running
for approximately 5 minutes
(temperature higher than 176°F (80°C))
and shut the engine off then proceed
with the process below:
Wait for five minutes, turn the ignition
to the ON mode without starting the
engine and wait for a few seconds.
Note: If you have added the specified
amount of oil and the indicator is not
reading "Full", please contact you
authorized dealer.
Warning!
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait for
the engine to cool down before loosening
the filler cap, particularly for vehicles with
aluminium cap (if equipped). WARNING:
risk of burns!
Caution!
The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
If the MAX mark is exceeded MAX (last
notch on the right turns red) after the fill-up,
go to your authorized dealer as soon as
possible to have the oil in excess removed.
Do not add oil with specifications
different from those of the oil already in the
engine.
Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. To change the oil and filters,
we advise you to contact your authorized
dealer.
