Environmental note
When topping up the oil, take care not to spill
any. If oil enters the soil or waterways, it is
harmful to the environment.
Example: engine oil cap
Turn cap : anti-clockwise and remove it.
X
Top up with the amount of oil required.

Fill carefully to the maximum mark on the oil
dipstick.
i
Depending on the engine, the difference
between the minimum mark and the maxi-
mum mark is approximately 1.5 – 2 litres.
! Do not add too much oil. If the oil level is
above the "max" mark on the dipstick, too
much oil has been added. This can lead to
damage to the engine or the catalytic con-
verter. Have excess oil siphoned off.

wise and allow excess pressure to escape.
Turn cap : further anti-clockwise and
X
remove it.
If the coolant is at the level of marker bar
= in the filler neck when cold, there is
enough coolant in coolant expansion
tank ;.
If the coolant level is approximately 1.5 cm
above marker bar = in the filler neck when
warm, there is enough coolant in coolant
expansion tank ;.
