ENGINE OIL LEVEL
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 your RENAULT
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is
being consumed every 600 miles
(1000 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.
Reading the oil level
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.
The oil level can be read:
- from the instrument panel
- using the dipstick
Reading the level on the instrument
panel
When
the
ignition
has
been
switched on for approximately
30 seconds:
-
if the level is correct
, the display
will show “oil OK”: display

Special feature:
if you wish to
know the level more precisely,
press the reset button on the total
mileage recorder. The squares
which appear on the display
indicate the level. The number of
squares displayed decreases as the
oil level drops and they are
replaced
by
a
dash
(display

When the minimum oil level is
reached,
the dashes and the word
“oil” flash and the word “ok”
disappears (display message

)
and the warning light
lights up on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon
as possible.
