SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL
48)
Check the oil level a few minutes
(about 5) after the engine has
stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
The oil level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick B fig. 239 - fig. 240 - fig.
241.
The range between the MIN and
MAX marks corresponds to about 1
litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the
MIN mark, add oil through the filler
A fig. 239 - fig. 240 - fig. 241,
until it reaches the MAX mark.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
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.IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the
conditions under which the vehicle
is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or
changing the oil, let the engine run
for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after switching it off before
checking the level.
IMPORTANT Always top up using
engine oil of the same
specifications as that already in the
engine.
ENGINE COOLANT
49)182)
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:
❒remove the plastic cover A fig. 242,
rotating the locking screws B fig.
242 counter-clockwise, to access the
filler of the reservoir;❒slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50%
PARAFLU
UPfrom PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS through the reservoir
filler C fig. 239 - fig. 240 - fig. 241
until the level is close to MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLUUPand
distilled water gives freeze
protection up to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used in
particularly harsh weather
conditions, we recommend using a
60-40 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand
demineralised water.

filler of the reservoir;
❒check that the fluid level is up to the
MAX mark on the dipstick attached
to the fuel cap F fig. 239 - fig. 240
- fig. 241 (use the level shown on the
20°C side of the dipstick to check
when cold).
If the level of the fluid in the tank is
lower than the specified level,
top up using only one of the
products indicated in the "Fluid and
lubricants" table in the "Technical
specifications" section, proceeding
as follows:
❒Start the engine and wait for the fluid
level in the tank to stabilise.❒With the engine running, turn the
steering wheel from right to left
