Engine oil

For vehicles with engine oil level check 3,
the engine oil level is checked
automatically 3 70. We recommend
checking the engine oil level before starting
a long journey.
Caution
Important: It is the owner's responsibility
to maintain the correct level of an
appropriate quality oil in the engine.
Check with the vehicle on a level surface.
The engine must be at operating
temperature and switched off for at
least 5 minutes.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean (use a
fibre-free material), insert it to the stop on
the handle, pull out and read the engine oil
level.
Insert oil dipstick up to the stop surface on
the handle, and twist half a turn.
Different dipsticks are used depending on
engine variant.
When the engine oil level has dropped to
the MIN mark, top up engine oil.
Caution
Do not allow the engine oil to drop
below the minimum level!
