Fluid Checks and Capacities

Engine Oil Level Sensing

Engine Oil Level

This vehicle has an electronic engine Oil Level Sensing (OLS)

system which records the engine oil level every vehicle start if the

vehicle has been left for 4 or more hours, if the vehicle is on level

ground, and if it is within a pre-set oil temperature range.

Warning: Engine oil or components may be hot and could

cause severe burns.

Caution: Running the engine with engine oil below the

lower mark or above the upper mark can cause serious

engine damage.

Caution: Running the engine with engine oil below the

minimum level can cause serious engine damage.

Caution: This vehicle's warranty may be invalidated if

damage is caused by the use of incorrect engine oil. Low

quality or obsolete oils do NOT give the protection required

by modern, high performance engines.

The system may not record an oil level if the engine oil

temperature is low.

If the engine oil level is approaching the minimum mark, a

message will be shown in the instrument cluster along with a

warning symbol. A code will also be stored in the engine

management system. The engine oil level should be checked and

filled to the required level engine oil as soon as possible. The

message will clear when the oil level is filled with a least 1 litre to

the required level and the OLS system has performed a valid

check of the oil level.

Caution: Failure to use engine oil that meets the required

specification can cause excessive engine wear, a build up of

sludge and deposits, and increased pollution. It could also

lead to engine failure (Refer to ’Fluid Specifications’, page

11.12).

11.8 Maintenance and Technical Data

Engine Oil Level Check

1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.

2. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating

temperature.

3. Navigate to Service and then Oil Level Check in the

instrument cluster menu.

4. If more oil is required, shut off the engine, remove the

engine oil filler cap and top up with the recommended

engine oil.

For the correct engine oil (Refer to ’Fluid Specifications’,

page 11.12).

5. Wait for approximately two minutes for the engine oil to

settle, then repeat step 3. Add engine oil if required. Do not

overfill.

6. Securely fit the engine oil filler cap.

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.9

2. Remove the leaf screen panel.

Engine Coolant Level

3. Remove the reservoir cap to check the coolant level. The

correct coolant level is to the top of the reservoir tank.

Warning: Do not remove the filler cap until the coolant

system has cooled. Scalding can be caused by escaping steam

or coolant.

Use a cloth or glove to protect hands and protect face and

arms adequately.

The engine coolant reservoir is found under the right side leaf

screen in the engine bay. To top up the coolant:

1. Remove the fastener (A).

4. Make sure that the reservoir cap is secure after topping up.

Caution: Do not over tighten the reservoir cap. This can

cause damage to the reservoir cap or the thread for the

reservoir tank.

5. Put the leaf screen panel back into position.

6. Install the fastener.

11.10 Maintenance and Technical Data

2. Remove the leaf screen panel.

Brake Fluid Level

3. Remove the reservoir cap. The brake fluid level should read

between the Min. and Max. marks. Top up to the Max. level

if necessary.

Warning: Do not drive the vehicle if the brake fluid level

is below the minimum mark.

Caution: Make sure that the brake fluid does not spill onto

the vehicle. The paint can be seriously damage by brake fluid.

If a spillage does occur, immediately flush any brake fluid

with clean, fresh water and then wipe with a clean damp

cloth.

The brake fluid reservoir is found under the driver's side leaf

screen in the engine bay. To check and top up the brake fluid:

1. Remove the fastener (A).

4. Install the reservoir cap securely.

5. Put the leaf screen panel back into position.

6. Install the fastener.

Maintenance and Technical Data 11.11

Only use oils ‘Certified For Gasoline Engines’ by the American

Petroleum Institute (API). An oil with this trademark symbol

conforms to the current engine and emission system protection

standards and fuel economy requirements of the International

Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ISLAC),

comprised of U.S. and Japanese automobile manufacturers.
