To open the bonnet, pull handle 1.
To unlock, raise the bonnet slightly and release hook 2 by pushing tab 4 to the left.
Lift the bonnet and guide it upwards; it is held by strut 3. The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment. Risk of injury.
In the event of even a slight impact involving the radiator grille or bonnet, have the bonnet lock checked by an approved Dealer as soon as possible. Do not press down on the bonnet: there is a risk that the bonnet may accidentally close.
Check that nothing has been left in the engine compartment. To close the bonnet again, hold the bonnet in the middle and lower it to 30 cm above the closed position, then release it. It will latch automatically under its own weight.
Ensure that the bonnet is properly locked. Check that nothing is preventing the catch from locking (gravel, cloth, etc.). Make sure nothing is left in the engine compartment (cloth, tools, etc.). Otherwise, this may lead to engine damage or cause a fire.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is sometimes necessary to top up the level between oil changes. However, contact an approved dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the running-in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil level from time to time and certainly before any long journey to avoid the risk of damaging your engine. The vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should have been switched off for some time beforehand to obtain an accurate reading.
Once the operation has been completed, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go or that the cap-type dipstick is completely screwed in. Under no circumstances must maximum fill level A be exceeded: risk of damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.
The oil level should only be read with the dipstick as explained above. If the oil level exceeds the maximum level, do not start your vehicle and contact an approved dealer.
The vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should be cold (for instance, before the engine is started up for the first time in the day).
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle.
Once the operation has been completed, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go or that the “cap-type dipstick†is completely screwed in. Do not exceed the MAX level and do not forget to refit dipstick 2 and cap 1. In order to prevent splashback, it is recommended that a funnel be used when topping up/filling with oil.
Service interval: refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle. Average capacities for oil change including oil filter (for information):
Engine oil grade: Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle.
Filling: take care when topping up the oil that no oil drips onto engine components - risk of fire. Remember to refit the cap securely as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes onto hot engine components. Engine oil change: if you are changing the oil when the engine is hot, be careful not to scald yourself if the oil overflows. Never run the engine in an enclosed space as exhaust gases are poisonous. The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment. Risk of injury.
If you change the oil yourself, you will need to reset the oil change warning. To do this, after switching on the ignition, for ten seconds you must:
Reinitialisation is complete when the # indicator light goes out. If this is not the case, repeat the operation. Special case: if you change the oil before the oil change interval exceeded warning is displayed, it will also be necessary to reset the display. In this case, the # warning light comes on for approximately 5 seconds to confirm the reset.
