Confirmations
Confirmation of service is recorded
in the Service and Warranty
Booklet. The date and mileage is
completed with the stamp and
signature of the servicing workshop.
Make sure that the Service and
Warranty Booklet is completed
correctly as continuous proof of
service is essential if any warranty
or goodwill claims are to be met,
and is also a benefit when selling
the vehicle.
Service interval with remaining
engine oil life duration
The service interval is based on
several parameters depending on
usage.
The service display lets you know
when to change the engine oil.

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.
