Windscreen/rearscreen and headlamp
washer fluid level
In order to add fluid, lift up the cap, lift up the
filter and pour a mixture of water and Arex-
ons DP1 fluid in the following percentages:
- 30% Arexons DP1 and 70% water in summer;
- 50% Arexons DP1 and 50% water in win­
ter.
In the case of temperatures below -20 °C, use
undiluted Arexons DP1.
Versions with headlamp washers are fitted
with a dip stick indicating the amount of fluid
in the windscreen washer reservoir.
Engine oil level
The engine oil level is checked with the vehi­
cle on a flat surface and the engine cold, or
around 10 minutes after the engine has been
switched off.
The oil level should be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the dip stick. The gap be­
tween the MIN and MAX levels corresponds
to around 1 litre of oil.
If the level of the oil is close to or actually be­
low the MIN reference, add oil through the
filler until the MAX reference is reached.
The level of the oil should never ex­
ceed the MAX reference.
When topping up with oil take great
care to avoid accidentally spilling en­
gine oil in the alternator ventilation
slits which could cause serious dam­
age to the alternator and also repre­
sents a fire hazard.
Do not add oil with different charac­
teristics from those of the oil used in
the engine. Only the use of
semi-synthetic oil guarantees the
planned maintenance intervals.
After having added oil, before checking the
level, let the engine run for a few seconds and
wait for several minutes after it has been
switched off.
