If the recommended engine oil is not availa-
bl e
, in the e
vent of an emergency you can
add oil once up to a maximum of 0.5 L of the
next oil until the next oil change:

Practical tips
Depending on how you drive and the condi-
tions in which the v ehicl
e is used, oil con-
sumption can be up t
o 0.5 l/1000 km. Oil
consumption is likely to be higher for the first
5,000 km. For this reason the engine oil level
must be checked at regular intervals, prefera-
bly when filling the tank and before a journey. WARNING
Any work carried out in the engine com-
partment or on the engine must be carried out cautiously.

Checking and refilling levels
