Used oil
Prevent used oil from coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil into drains
or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the
use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

The level should always be above
the DANGER mark on the reser
voir.

schedule.
use fluids approved by the manu facturer, which fulfil DOT 4 stan
dards. Cooling system
Use the fluid approved by the manu
facturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. Because this fan
can operate with the ignition key
removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at
least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any
work.
In the event of a breakdown and to
avoid any risk of burns, slacken the
cap to the first notch to release the
pressure. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
