IN AN EMERGENCY

ENGINE OIL
48)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check the level is within the MIN. and
MAX. marks on the dipstick B fig. 241 -
fig. 242 - fig. 243 - fig. 244.
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
line, add oil through the filler A fig. 241 -
fig. 242 - fig. 243 - fig. 244 until it
reaches the MAX line.
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)187)
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. 245,
rotating the locking screws B fig.
245 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. 241 - fig. 242 - fig. 243
- fig. 244 until the level is close to
MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand
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.
POWER STEERING FLUID
193)
3)
