Diesel-powered vehicles (for
diesel particulate filter models)
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, and engine oil consumption is
greatly influenced by payload, engine speed, etc.
Therefore, it is important to check the oil level at
regular intervals or before starting a long trip.
This check must be made with the engine warm but
not running. Park the vehicle on a level surface,
stop the engine, and then wait a few moments to al-
low the engine oil in circulation to return to the oil
pan to ensure accurate measurement.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes. Remove the
dipstick and read the oil level, which should al-
ways be within the range indicated.
If the oil level is below the specified limit, remove
the cap located on the cylinder head cover and add
enough oil to raise the level to within the specified
range.
Be sure to use the specified engine oil and do not
mix various types of oil. Also, avoid mixing differ-
ent makes of oil together if possible.
After adding oil, close the cap securely.
Use
only the recommended oils with an ACEA or
API classification as specified in this manual.
NOTE
l The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions (for
example, repeated operation on rough roads,
in mountainous regions, on roads with many
uphill and downhill gradients, or over short
distances). Consequently, the oil will require
earlier replacement.
l For handling of used engine oils, refer to
page 06.
Selection of engine oil
Petrol-powered vehicles 1. Select
engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric temper-
ature.
SAE 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40 engine oilscan only be used if they meet ACEA A3/B3,
A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API SG (or higher) spec-
ifications. 2. Use
engine oil conforming to the following
classification:
l API classification: “For service SG” or
higher
l ILSAC certificated oil
l ACEA classification:
“For service A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4 or
A5/B5”
NOTE l Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It
may result in failure of the mechanical assem-
bly.
Diesel-powered vehicles Use engine oil conforming to the following
classification:• Vehicles with DPF= “VW 50700”
• Vehicles without DPF= “VW50501/50601/50700”
NOTE l Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It
may result in failure of the mechanical assem-
bly. Maintenance

Battery

The
condition of the battery is very important for
quick starting of the engine and proper functioning
of the vehicle’s electrical system. Regular inspec-
tion and care are especially important in cold weath-
er.
Checking battery electrolyte level
Petrol-powered vehicles
Diesel-powered vehicles The electrolyte level must be between the specified
limit
on the outside of the battery. Replenish with
distilled water as necessary. The inside of the battery is divided into several com-
partments;
remove the cap from each compartment
and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond
the upper mark because spillage during driving
could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every 4
weeks, depending on the operating conditions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by itself
with time. Check it once every 4 weeks and charge
with low current as necessary.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced at low tem-
peratures. This is an inevitable result of its chemi-
cal and physical properties. This is why a very cold
battery, particularly one that is not fully charged,
will only deliver a fraction of the starter current
which is normally available.
We recommend you to have the battery checked be-
fore the start of cold weather and, if necessary,
have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting, but a bat-
tery which is kept fully charged also has a longer life.
Disconnection and connection
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the engine,
first disconnect the negative (-) terminal and then
the positive (+) terminal. When connecting the bat-
tery, first connect the positive (+) terminal and then
the negative (-) terminal.
NOTE
l Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.
l Loosen the nut (B), and then disconnect the
battery cable from the positive (+) terminal.Petrol-powered vehicles
Diesel-powered vehicles WARNING
l Keep
sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the battery because the battery
could explode. Maintenance

Some fuses may not be installed on your ve-
hicle, depending on the vehicle model or spec-
ifications.
l The table above shows the main equipment
corresponding to each fuse.
The fuse box does not contain spare 7.5 A,
10 A and 15 A fuses. If a fuse of one of these
capacities blows, replace it temporarily by
borrowing the one that matches from:
7.5 A: Outside rear-view mirrors
10 A: Radio (Engine compartment)
15 A: Accessory socket
Replace the borrowed fuse as soon as possible.
