Vehicle security
Winter tyres:
Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 ºC and should therefore be fitted on all wheels.
Tyres of size 215/70 R16 are recommended as winter tyres.
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.
Use the valve cap key (located on the inside of the fuel filler flap) to make unscrewing the valve caps easier.
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.
Warning:
Incorrect tyre pressures impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear.
If tyre pressure is too low, this can result in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading to tread
separation and even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.

Engine oil:
When the ignition is switched on, control indicator Swill illuminate briefly. If the control indicator S
illuminates continuously or whilst driving, the engine oil needs topping up immediately.
However, check engine oil level manually on a regular basis, to prevent damage to the engine. Ensure that the
correct specification of oil is used.
Check the oil with vehicle on a level surface. Engine must be at operating temperature and switched off for at
least 5 minutes. Pull out dipstick, wipe clean, insert to stop on the handle, pull out and read engine oil level.
Caution:
It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the correct level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine.
Insert dipstick to stop on handle and make half a turn.
When engine oil level has dropped to the MIN mark on the dipstick, top up engine oil.
We recommend the use of the same grade of engine oil that was used at the last oil change.
The engine oil level must not exceed the MAX mark on the dipstick.
