l If
there is none, make sure that the en-
gine has cooled down before removing
the radiator cap (C) (petrol-powered vehi-
cles) or reserve tank cap (C) (diesel-pow-
ered vehicles), because hot steam or boil-
ing water otherwise will gush from the fill-
er port and may scald you.
6. Fill
the reserve tank with coolant as needed. (Refer to the “Maintenance” section.) CAUTION
l
Do
not add coolant while the engine is
hot. Suddenly adding cold coolant could
damage the engine. Wait for the engine to
cool down, then add coolant a little at a
time.
7. Examine
the radiator hoses for coolant leak- age and the drive belt for looseness or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cooling
system or drive belt, we recommend you to
have it checked and repaired. For emergencies

The engine oil used has a significant effect on the
engine’s

performance, service life and startability.
Be sure to use oil of the recommended quality and
appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during
normal operation. Therefore, it is important to
check the oil level at regular intervals or before start-
ing a long trip. 1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a cleancloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level, which should always be within the range in-
dicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified limit, re- move the cap located on the cylinder head
cover and add enough oil to raise the level to
within the specified range. Do not overfill to
avoid engine damage. Be sure to use the speci-
fied engine oil and do not mix various types
of oil. Maintenance
