Checking the engine oil level
Warning
The engine oil level must be checked when the engine is idling and
warm and the vehicle is on level ground. DO NOT add oil with different
characteristics from those of the oil already in the engine.
The symbol on the left TFT display and the message “Low engine oil
pressure, stop and turn off engine” indicate that the driver must stop and
check the engine oil level.
Proceed as follows:
1. Run the engine until the engine oil temperature has reached 85 - 90
°
C.
2. Leave to idle for 5 minutes;
3. Turn off the engine;
4. Open the engine compartment lid and completely remove the
dipstick
F on the left-hand side of the engine;
5. Remove the oil filler cap A and wait 5 minutes for the oil to drain
back into the oil pan;
6. Remove the dipstick F and check the level: the level must be
between the MIN and MAX notches on the dipstick.
7. If the level is low, top up with the recommended oil and make sure
you do not fill beyond the
MAX level on the dipstick.
8. Screw cap A back on tightly.
After topping up, the “low oil level” symbol on the left TFT display
may remain on for some time.
This will allow the system to perform all the necessary checks. You
should therefore consider this behaviour normal.
9. When you have added or changed the oil, check the oil level once
again as indicated above.
Important note
The distance between the MIN and MAX notches corresponds to
approximately 1.3 litres of oil.
