Checking and refilling levels 181
Safety First Operating instructions Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
– Park the vehicle on an even surface.
– After stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain
back into the sump.
–Raise the bonnet ⇒ page 178.
– Pull out the dipstick.
– Wipe the dipstick with a cloth and insert it again, pushing it in as
far as it will go.
– Pull the dipstick out again and check the oil level ⇒ page 180,
fig. 127.
– Replace the dipstick, pushing it in as far as it will go.
The position of the dipstick is shown in the corresponding engine compart-
ment diagram ⇒ page 238.
If the oil level is in area ⇒ page 180, fig. 127 , do not top up with oil.
If the oil level is in area , you may top up with oil (approx. 0.5 l).
If the oil level is in area , you must top up with oil (approx. 1.0 l).
It is normal for the engine to consume a certain amount of oil. Consumption
can be up to 1.0 litres per 1,000 km. For this reason the engine oil level must
be checked at regular intervals, preferably when filling the tank and before a
journey.
When the engine is working hard, for instance during sustained high-speed
motorway cruising in summer, when towing a trailer or climbing on mountain
passes, the oil level should preferably be kept within area and not above
this.
WARNING
Any work carried out in the engine compartment or on the engine must be
carried out cautiously.
• When working in the engine compartment, always observe the safety
warnings ⇒ page 176.
Caution
If the oil level is above the area do not start the engine. This could result
in damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Contact an Authorised
Service Centre.
Topping up engine oil
Top up gradually with small quantities of oil.
