Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_04)
The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that comes on when the key is turned to
«ON». However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. If the
light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is nec-
essary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having topped-up
the oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or while
turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Serv-
ice Centre.

Engine oil change (03_05, 03_06, 03_07)
The oil and the cartridge filter «C» must be changed as indicated in the scheduled
maintenance tables at an Authorised Service Centre. The engine should be emptied
by draining the oil through drainage plug «B » of the mesh filter on the flywheel side.
In order to facilitate oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantity of
oil still remains in the circuit, add approximately 1000 cm³ of oil through cap «A». Then
start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off: after about five
minutes check the level and if necessary top up without exceeding the MAX level.
The cartridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is changed. For top-ups and
changes, use new oil of the recommended type.
WARNING
RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADE-
QUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING
PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.
