Checking the engine oil level is advisable, especially before a long journey or if a significant amount of time has passed since the last maintenance; the check can be performed with either a cold or warm engine: in the latter case, leave the engine off for at least 15 minutes so that the level stabilises and the circulating oil drains back into the sump.

Position the vehicle on level ground, open the bonnet and extract the oil level dipstick, clean it with a cloth or paper and insert it back into its tube until it is fully seated; remove it and check where the wet part reaches: the dipstick also has two reference marks, the minimum lower down and the maximum higher up (between minimum and maximum, consider 1 kg of oil). It is important that the level never drops below the minimum and at the same time does not exceed the maximum level; before topping up, consider the possibility of performing a complete oil change, especially if you are close to the next maintenance.

Once the inflation is complete, navigate through the menu that appears on the instrument cluster to find the option related to the tyres: select this with the OK button, which should then be held down for a few seconds to completely turn off the light.
