This operation must be carried out with the
car on level ground and when the engine
is stationary and cold.
Check that the level reaches the MAX ref-
erence notch on the reservoir or coincides
with the upper notch (maximum level) on
the dipstick integral with the reservoir cap.
If the level of the oil in the reservoir falls
below the specified level, top up only with
one of the products listed in the table "Flu-
ids and lubricants" in "Technical specifica-
tions" chapter as follows:
