Engine oil

Check engine oil level manually on a regular basis to prevent damage to engine. Ensure that the correct specification of oil is used.

Insert dipstick to stop on handle and make half a turn.

It is the owner's responsibility to maintain the correct level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine.

Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the minimum level!

Tyre pressure

Check tyre pressures, including the spare, every 14 days and prior to any long journey; tyres should be checked when cold. This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system.

The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.

Always inflate the spare tyre to the value specified for full load.

The ECO tyre pressure serves to achieve the smallest amount of fuel consumption possible.

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and increase tyre wear.

¹⁾ Do not use ECO tyre pressure for this tyre.
