The capacity of the tank is approx . 14.5
soon as the correctly operated nozzle switches off autom atically for the first time , the tank is full. Do not try to
add more fuel, because the expansion space in the fuel tank will be filled-the
fuel can then overflow when it becomes warm and pollutes the environment.
After
vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, never drive your vehicle until the fuel tank is completely empty. This could cause your engine to misfire and fuel could get into the exhaust system. This could cause the exhaust system to overheat and damage the catalytic con­verter.
WARNING Never
carry additional fuel containers in your vehicle.

is normal for your engine to consume oil.
The rate of the oil consumption depends on
the quality
and viscosity of oil, the speed at
which the engine operated, the climate, road
conditio ns
as well as amount of dilution an d
oxidatio n of the lubricant.
Beca u
se of these variables, no standard
rate of oil consumption can be established ,
but drivers should expect an increased oil
consum ption at high speeds and when the
engine is
new.
The engine in your vehicle depends
on oil to lubricate and cool all of its ing parts. Therefore the engine oil should be checked regularly and kept at the required level.
Make it a habit to have the engine oil lev el checked with every fuel filling.
Lack of sufficient engine oil may lead
to severe engine damage .
