Checking the oil
The oil level must be within the area marked on
the dipstick.
Measurement and filling if required
1. Ensure that the car is level. After switch-
ing off the engine it is important to wait
5 minutes to allow the oil time to run back
to the sump.
2. Pull up and wipe the dipstick.
3. Re-insert the dipstick.
4. Pull it out and check the level.
5. If the level is close to MIN then 0.5 litres
should be added. If the level is signifi-
216
cantly below, then an additional amount
is required.
6. If required, check the level again, do it
after driving a short distance. Then repeat
steps 1 - 4.
WARNING
Never fill above the MAX mark. The level
should never be above MAX or below MIN
as this could lead to engine damage.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.
Washer fluid, topping up
Location of washer fluid reservoir.
The windscreen and headlamp washers have
the same reservoir. Use washer fluid with
antifreeze during the winter to avoid freezing

before filling.
TIP! Clean the wiper blades when topping up
washer fluid.
