ENGINE OIL
83)
WARNING It is advisable to check the
engine oil level indication before long
journeys. The engine oil level is visible
on the instrument panel display each
time the engine is started.
Check on the display that the oil level
is between the minimum and maximum
level.
If the oil level indicator reaches the
lower mark on the scale, add oil
through the filler.
If the
symbol and "insufficient
engine oil level" indication appears on
the display, add 0.2 ml of oil at a time
and read again until the level reaches at
least the minimum.
WARNING Make sure not to add too
much engine oil when topping up.
Engine oil in excess may damage the
engine. Have your vehicle checked.
Never exceed the MAX level when
topping up engine oil. It is advisable to
check the oil level in intermediate steps
on the instrument panel display.
Oil level indication update on
display
If a top-up is needed, proceed as
follows to ensure correct indication of
the oil level on the display:
Proceed as follows:
with the vehicle on level ground,
leave the engine running until it is warm
(refer to the oil temperature panel) and
then switch it off;
wait for at least 6 minutes, turn the
ignition switch to ON without starting
the engine and wait for 20 seconds.
Procedure for reading the engine oil
level with the engine running and idling
Proceed as follows:
with the vehicle stationary, parked
on level ground, leave the engine
running until it is warm (refer to the oil
temperature panel);
idle the engine and wait at least 1
minute for the correct reading.
WARNING If the indication is not
correct after the procedure, contact a
Dealership.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine
needs to be run in, therefore the
engine oil consumption can only be
considered stabilised after the first
5,000–6,000 km.
ENGINE COOLANT
224)
84)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is to low, operate as follows:
to access the reservoir filler, remove
the plastic cover (A) fig. 327 by turning
the locking screws (B) anticlockwise;
slowly pour through the filler (B)
- fig. 326 - the reservoir a mixture
of 50% demineralised water and
50% PETRONAS LUBRICANTS
PARAFLU UP until the level is close to
MAX.
The mixture of 50% demineralised
water and 50% PARAFLU UP protects
against freezing down to -35°C.
When the vehicle is used in particularly
harsh weather conditions, we
recommend using a mixture of 60%
PARAFLU UP and 40% demineralised
water.
