Reading the level using the dipstick
- take out the dipstick;
- wipe the dipstick using a clean,
lint-free cloth;
- push in the dipstick as far as it will
go;
- take out the dipstick again;
- read the level: it should never fall
below the minimum mark A or
exceed the maximum mark B.
Maximum
engine
oil
level
exceeded.
Under no circumstances should the
maximum

be
exceeded: this could lead to the
engine racing or even engine failure.
The oil level should only be
measured with the dipstick, as
previously explained.
If
the

do not start your

Risk of injury.
Topping up/Filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be off
and cold (for instance, before the
engine is started up for the first time
in the day).

Booklet
for
your
vehicle
for
information regarding which grade
of oil to use.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
