- Take out the dipstick.
- Wipe the dipstick using a clean,
lint-free cloth.

go.
- Take out the dipstick again,

Special features of the 1.2 16V
engine
To unclip the dipstick, lever by
hand while pressing engine cover C.
Topping up/filling
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).
Take care when working
under the bonnet as the
engine cooling fan may
start to operate at any
moment.
- Unscrew the filler cap 1.
- Top up the level. (For your
information, the capacity between
the
minimum
and
maximum
reading on the dipstick 2 is
between
1.5
and
2
litres
depending on the engine.)
- Wait
for
approximately
two
minutes to allow the oil to flow
into the engine.
- Check the level using the dipstick
2 (as explained above).
Do not exceed the
“max”
level and
do not forget to refit cap 1.
