Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip
Check engine oil level.
Check windshield washer fluid level.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs
before the oil indicator system turns on.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reser-
voir and brake master cylinder, fill as
needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior
lights.
Control and recovery of additive level for
AdBlue® Diesel emissions (UREA) (if
equipped). At Each Oil Change
Change the engine oil filter.
Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
Inspect for the presence of water in the
fuel filter/water separator unit.
Inspect air cleaner filter if using in dusty
or off-road conditions. Replace air cleaner
filter, if necessary.
Demanding Vehicle Use
Restore additive level for AdBlue® Diesel
emissions (UREA) (if equipped), when the
lamp is illuminated or the message on the
instrument panel.
Maintenance Plan — Diesel Engines
NOTE:
Once you have carried out the last interven -
tion in the table, continue with the sched -
uled servicing, maintaining the frequency
indicated in the plan by marking each oper -
ation with a dot or dedicated note. Simply
restarting the maintenance from the start of
the plan may cause the allowed interval to be
exceeded for some operations.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required
maintenance items may result in damage
to the vehicle.

Checking Oil Level
To assure proper engine lubrication, the
engine oil must be maintained at the correct
level. Check the oil level at regular intervals,
such as every fuel stop. The best time to
check the engine oil level is about five
minutes after a fully warmed up engine is
shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level readings.
There are three possible dipstick types,
Crosshatched zone.
Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.
Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at
the low end of the range and MAX at the
high end of the range.
Crosshatched zone marked with dimples
at the MIN and the MAX ends of the range.
NOTE:
Always maintain the oil level within the
crosshatch markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1.0 liters) of oil when the
reading is at the low end of the dipstick
range will raise the oil level to the high end
of the range marking.
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir is located in the front of
the engine compartment. Be sure to check
the fluid level in the reservoir at regular inter -
vals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer
solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and operate
the system for a few seconds to flush out the
residual washer fluid.
When refilling the washer fluid reservoir,
take some washer fluid, apply it to a cloth or
towel, and wipe clean the wiper blades; this
will help blade performance.
WARNING!
Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable
vapors may be present, with the risk of
fire.
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your car.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loos-
ening the filler cap, particularly for vehi -
cles with aluminium cap (if equipped).
WARNING: risk of burns!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
CAUTION! (Continued)

RAISING THE VEHICLE
In the case where it is necessary to raise the
vehicle, go to an authorized dealer or service
station.
TIRES
Tires — General Information
Tire Pressure
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to
the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle. Four primary areas are affected by
improper tire pressure:
Safety
Fuel Economy
Tread Wear
Ride Comfort And Vehicle StabilitySafety
Both underinflation and overinflation affect
the stability of the vehicle and can produce
a feeling of sluggish response or over respon-
siveness in the steering.
NOTE:
Unequal tire pressures from side to side
may cause erratic and unpredictable
steering response.
Unequal tire pressure from side to side
may cause the vehicle to drift left or right.
Fuel Economy
Underinflated tires will increase tire rolling
resistance resulting in higher fuel consump -
tion.
Tread Wear
Improper cold tire inflation pressures can
cause abnormal wear patterns and reduced
tread life, resulting in the need for earlier tire
replacement.
Ride Comfort And Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfort -
able ride. Overinflation produces a jarring
and uncomfortable ride.
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an
authorized dealer immediately. Severe
transmission damage may occur. An
authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately. WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous
and can cause collisions.
Underinflation increases tire flexing and
can result in overheating and tire failure.
Overinflation reduces a tire's ability to
cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuckholes can cause damage that
result in tire failure.
Overinflated or underinflated tires can
affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle
control.
Unequal tire pressures can cause
steering problems. You could lose
control of your vehicle.
Unequal tire pressures from one side of
the vehicle to the other can cause the
vehicle to drift to the right or left.
Always drive with each tire inflated to the
recommended cold tire inflation pres-
sure.

** The indicated pressure is for comfort. To increase fuel economy the inflation pressure can be increased to a maximum of 44 psi (3.0 bar)
on the front tires and up to 41 psi (2.8 bar) on the rear tires.
