SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check the level is within the MIN. and
MAX. marks on the dipstick B. fig.
211 - fig. 212 - fig. 213 - fig. 214 - fig.
215 - fig. 216 - fig. 217.
The range between the MIN and MAX
marks corresponds to about 1 litre
of oil.
If the level of the oil is close to or below
the MIN mark, add oil via the filler
neck A fig. 211 - fig. 212 - fig. 213 - fig.
214 - fig. 215 - fig. 216 - fig. 217, until
the MAX mark is reached.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine
needs to be run in, therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on the driving style and the
conditions under which the vehicle
is used.IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before checking oil level.

ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir. If the level is
low, slowly pour fig. 211 - fig. 212 - fig.
213 - fig. 214 - fig. 215 - fig. 216 -
fig. 217 a mixture of 50% distilled water
and 50% PARAFLU
UPbyPETRONAS
LUBRICANTSthrough the filler neck
C until the level approaches MAX.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UPand
50% distilled water protects against
freezing down to temperatures of
–35°C. For particularly harsh climate
conditions, we recommended using a
mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UPand 40%
distilled water.

following concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35
and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35
and 50% water in winter.
At temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35 fluid.
Check fluid level through the reservoir.
Close cap D by pressing on the central

in the tank is at the maximum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAX mark.
