Topping up engine oil
Important
In case of any spilled engine oil, wipe it
up and dispose of it properly.
Engine oils of different manufacturers
and brands can be mixed as long as
they comply with the required engine oil
quality and viscosity.
Use of engine oils for all petrol engines
with only ACEA quality is prohibited,
since it can cause engine damage under
certain operating conditions.

Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil additives
could cause damage and invalidate the
warranty.
Engine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the engine
oil.
Multigrade engine oil is indicated by
two figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the second
figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade
depending on the minimum ambient
temperature.

All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only antifreeze approved for the
vehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent corrosion
protection and frost protection down
to approx. -28°C. In cold regions with
very low temperatures the factory filled
coolant provides frost protection down to
approx. -37°C.
This concentration should be maintained
all year round. The use of additional
coolant additives that intend to give
additional corrosion protection or seal
against minor leaks can cause function
problems. Liability for consequences
resulting from the use of additional
coolant additives will be rejected.
Washer fluid
Use only washer fluid approved for the
vehicle to prevent damage of wiper
blades, paintwork, plastic and rubber
parts. Consult a workshop.
Brake and clutch fluid
Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture
which will reduce braking effectiveness.
The brake fluid should therefore be
replaced at the specified interval.
Use only brake fluid approved for the
vehicle. Consult a workshop.
