362 Service and maintenance
Cold temperature operation:
If operating your vehicle in an area of
extreme cold, where the temperature
falls below -25C, a Viscosity Grade
SAE 0W-xx should be used. An Oil of
this Viscosity Grade will provide
easier cold starting for the engine at
extremely low temperatures.
When selecting an Oil of the
appropriate Viscosity Grade be sure
to always select an Oil that meets the
dexos™‚ Specification.
 Down to -25C: 5W-30, 5W-40.
 Down to -25C and below:
0W-30, 0W-40.
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only organic acid type-long life
coolant (LLC) antifreeze.
In countries with moderate climate
the coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -35C.
In countries with cold climate the
coolant provides freeze protection
down to approx. -50C. This
concentration should be maintained
all year-round.
Maintain a sufficient concentration of
anti-freeze.
Coolant additives intended to give
additional corrosion protection or
seal against minor leaks can cause
function problems. Liability for
consequences resulting from the use
of coolant additives will be rejected.
Brake fluid
Only use our authorised brake fluid
for this vehicle(DOT 4).
Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified
interval.
Brake fluid should be stored in a
sealed container to avoid water
absorption.
Ensure brake fluid does not become
contaminated.
