B

minimum oil level
1. Open both left-hand doors.
2. Withdraw the dipstick, wipe with a lint-free cloth and replace fully.
3. Withdraw the dipstick once more and read off the oil level.
The level should be between the maximum and minimum markings.
Top up if the level has reached or exceeded the
minimum level
mark.
4. Close the doors.
The marked
maximum oil level
should not be exceeded in order for the level of oil in the
crankcase not to reach the crankshaft. If this were to occur, it could create oil bubbles that
would reduce the oil's lubricating capability and impair engine performance.
