Confirmations
Confirmation of service is recorded
in the Service and Warranty
Booklet. The date and mileage is
completed with the stamp and
signature of the servicing workshop.
Make sure that the Service and
Warranty Booklet is completed
correctly as continuous proof of
service is essential if any warranty
or goodwill claims are to be met,
and is also a benefit when selling
the vehicle.
Service interval with remaining
engine oil life duration
The service interval is based on
several parameters depending on
usage.
The service display lets you know

Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants
Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.
Damage resulting from the use of
products not compliant with these
specifications will not be covered by
the warranty.
{Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use.
The oil quality ensures e.g. engine cleanliness, wear protection and oil
ageing control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
Dexos is the newest engine oil
quality that provides optimum
protection for petrol and diesel
engines. If it is unavailable, engine
oils of other listed qualities have to
be used. Recommendations for
petrol engines are also valid for
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG),
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and
Ethanol (E85) fuelled engines.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature

Topping up engine oil
Engine oils of different
manufacturers and brands can be
mixed as long as they comply with
the required engine oil quality and
viscosity.
