LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT FITTINGS AND STORAGE

(1/2)

Mobile floor 1

Depending on the vehicle, the mobile

floor is reversible.

Flat position
It allows you to have a flat floor by fold-

ing down the backs of the rear bench

seats and to compartmentalise the boot

into two distinct spaces.
The mobile floor is positioned on the

runners (2 and 3).

Maximum load allowed on the

mobile floor: 120 kg, evenly distrib-

uted.

Storage position
This allows for more space to store

things in the boot.
– Remove the mobile floor 1;
– place it in the boot under the runners

(2 and 3).

3

Intermediate position

(depending on vehicle)
In the blocked position, it allows you to

access the tools stored under the boot

carpet.
– Remove the mobile floor 1 by moving

it back (movement A) and pivoting it

upwards (movement B);

Always place the objects to be trans-

ported so that their largest side rests

against the back of the rear seat for

normal loads (e.g.: A), or against the

back of the front seats B when the rear

seatbacks are folded down.
If you have to place objects on the

folded seat back, it is vital that you

remove the headrests before folding

the seat back so that it can be folded as

flat as possible against the seat.

TRANSPORTING OBJECTS IN THE BOOT

Always position the heavi-

est items directly on the

floor. Use the lashing points

on the floor of the luggage

compartment, if these are fitted to

the vehicle. The luggage should be

loaded in such a way that no items

will be thrown forward and strike the

occupants if the driver has to brake

suddenly. Fasten the rear seat belts,

even if the seats are not occupied.

BONNET

(1/2)

Unlocking the bonnet catch

To unlock, push tab 3 at the same time

as opening the bonnet.

Opening the bonnet

Lift the bonnet, guiding it up, and it

will rest in position with the help of two

struts 2.

To open, pull handle 1, located on the

left-hand side of the dashboard.

Please note when work-

ing close to the engine that

it may be hot. In addition,

the engine cooling fan may

start at any moment. The



warning light in the engine compart-

ment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.

1

Do not press down on the

bonnet: there is a risk that

the bonnet may accidentally

close.

Before performing any

action in the engine com-

partment, the ignition must

be switched off (please see

the information on “Starting, stop-

ping the engine” in Section 2).

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in the park position.

Risk of injury.

BONNET

(2/2)

Closing the bonnet

Check that nothing has been left in the

engine compartment.
To close the bonnet again, hold the

bonnet in the middle and lower it to

30 cm above the closed position, then

release it. It will latch automatically

under its own weight.

Ensure that the bonnet is

properly locked.
Check that nothing is pre-

venting the catch from lock-

ing (gravel, cloth, etc.).

After carrying out any work

in the engine compart-

ment, check that nothing

has been left behind (cloth,

tools, etc.).

These may damage the engine or

cause a fire.

In the event of even a slight

impact involving the radia-

tor grille or bonnet, have the

bonnet lock checked by an

authorised dealer as soon as pos-

sible.

4.4

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information

It is normal for an engine to use oil for

lubrication and cooling of moving parts

and it is normal to top up the level be-

tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved

Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being

consumed every 600 miles (1,000 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 oil level should be read with the ve-

hicle on level ground, after the engine

has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read

the exact oil level and make sure

that the maximum level has not been

exceeded (risk of engine damage).

Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only

alerts the driver when the oil level is at

its minimum.

– Remove the dipstick and wipe with a

clean, lint-free cloth;

– push the dipstick in as far as it will

go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-

type dipstick C, screw the cap in as

far as it will go);

– take out the dipstick again;

– read the level: it should never fall

below minimum mark A or exceed

maximum mark B.

Once the operation has been com-

pleted, ensure that the dipstick is

pushed in as far as it will go or that

the “cap-type dipstick” is completely

screwed in.

In order to prevent splashing, it is

recommended that a funnel be used

when topping up/filling the oil.

Before performing any

action in the engine com-

partment, the ignition must

be switched off (please see

the information on “Starting, stop-

ping the engine” in Section 2).

Exceeding the maximum

engine oil level
Under no circumstances

must the maximum fill

level B be exceeded: risk of damage

to the engine and catalytic con-

verter.

If the level exceeds the maximum

level, do not start your vehicle and

contact an authorised dealer.

4.5

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling

(1/3)

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).

– Unscrew cap 1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-

pacity between the “MINI” and the

“MAXI” reading on the dipstick 2

is between 0.33 and 0.44 gallons

(1.5 and 2 litres) depending on the

engine);

– wait for approximately 20 minutes to

allow the oil to flow into the engine;

– check the level using the dipstick 2

(as described above).

Once the operation has been com-

pleted, ensure that the dipstick is

pushed in as far as it will go or that

the “cap-type dipstick” is completely

screwed in.

Engine oil grade

Refer to the Maintenance Service

Booklet for your vehicle.

Never run the engine in an

enclosed space as exhaust

gases are poisonous.

Filling: take care when

topping up the oil that

no oil drips onto engine

components - risk of fire.

Remember to refit the cap securely

as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes

onto hot engine components.

Consult your approved Dealer at

once if you notice an abnormal or

repeated drop in any of the fluid

levels.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling

(3/3)/

OIL CHANGE

Exceeding the maximum

engine oil level
Under no circumstances

must the maximum fill level

be exceeded: risk of damage to the

engine and catalytic converter.

If the oil level exceeds the maximum

level, do not start your vehicle and

contact an approved Dealer.

Oil change

Service interval: refer to the

Maintenance Service Booklet for your

vehicle.

Oil change capacity

Please refer to the maintenance docu-

ment for your vehicle, or contact an au-

thorised dealer.

Always check the engine oil level using

the dipstick, as explained previously (it

should never fall below the minimum

level, or be over the maximum level on

the dipstick).

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in the park position.

Risk of injury.

Engine oil change: if you

are changing the oil when

the engine is hot, be careful

not to scald yourself if the

oil overflows.

Please note when work-

ing close to the engine that

it may be hot. In addition,

the engine cooling fan may

start at any moment. The



warning light in the engine compart-

ment reminds you of this.
