DIN EN 590.
Fuel tank capacity (all models) -
58 litres.
Engine oil:
Check engine oil level manually on
a regular basis to prevent damage
to engine. Ensure that the correct
specification of oil is used.
Check 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.
Insert dipstick to stop on handle
and make half a turn.
Important:
It is the owner’s responsibility to
maintain the correct level of an
appropriate quality oil in the
engine.
A funnel (located in the right
storage compartment in the load
compartment) may be required to
top-up engine oil on some engines.
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.
The 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.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and increase tyre
wear.
Warning:
If the 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.
