checked and have the cause of the
coolant loss remedied by a
workshop.
Washer Fluid
Fill with clean water mixed with a
suitable quantity of washer fluid
which contains antifreeze.
Caution
Only washer fluid with a sufficient
antifreeze concentration provides
protection at low temperatures or
a sudden drop in temperature.(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
Use of washer fluid containing
isopropanol can damage exterior
lamps.
Brakes
In the event of minimum thickness
of the brake lining, a squealing
noise sounds during braking.
Continued driving is possible but
have the brake lining replaced as
soon as possible.
Once new brake linings are
installed, do not brake
unnecessarily hard for the first few
journeys.
Brake Fluid
{Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, fabrics and painted
surfaces.
The brake fluid level must be
between theMINand the MAX
marks.
If fluid level is below the MINmark,
seek the assistance of a workshop.

Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0200.
Battery
Vehicles without stop-start system
will be equipped with a lead acid
battery. Vehicles with stop-start
system will be equipped with an
AGM battery which is not a lead
acid battery.

Engine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of
the oil.
Multi-grade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates
the low temperature viscosity and
the second figure the high
temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity
grade depending on the minimum
ambient temperature
0
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants0200.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only organic acid type-long life
coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved
for the vehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frost
protection down to approx. -36 °C.
In northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled
coolant provides frost protection
down to approx. -50 °C. This
concentration should be maintained
all year round. The use of additional
coolant additives intended to give
additional corrosion protection or
seal against minor leaks can cause
function problems. Liability for
consequences resulting from the
use of additional coolant additives
will be rejected.
Brake and clutch fluid
Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid
should therefore be replaced at the
specified interval.
