NOTE
Use the power socket located on the lower
part of the cockpit ➀.
7. Check the specified tyre pressure on the tyre placard that is affixed to the driver’s side centre
pillar.
8. Place the ignition switch in the ACC position. Then turn the compressor switch to the ON (−)
position and inflate the tyre up to the pressure
that is specified on the tyre placard affixed to the
driver’s side centre pillar if possible, or to the
minimum of 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi), for tyre
205R16 250 kPa (2.5 bar, 36 psi). Turn the air
compressor off briefly in order to check the tyre
pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tyre is inflated to higher than the specified
pressure, adjust the tyre pressure by releasing
air with the pressure release valve. The cold tyre
pressures are shown on the tyre placard affixed
to the driver’s side centre pillar. WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury while using
the emergency tyre puncture repair kit.
• Securely tighten the compressor hose to
the tyre valve. Failure to do so can cause
the sealant to spray into the air and get
into your eyes or on your skin.
• Do not stand directly beside the damaged
tyre while it is being inflated because of
the risk of rupture. If there are any cracks
or bumps, turn the compressor off imme-
diately.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the compressor for more
than 10 minutes. If the tyre pressure does
not increase to the specified pressure
within 10 minutes, the tyre may be seri-
ously damaged and the tyre cannot be re-
paired with this tyre repair kit. Contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
9. When the tyre pressure is at the specified value, close the pressure release valve and turn the air
compressor off. If the pressure cannot be in-
flated to the specified value, the air compressor
can be turned off at the minimum of 180 kPa (1,8
bar, 26 psi) for tyre 205R16 250 kPa (2,5 bar, 36
psi). Remove the power plug from the power
outlet and quickly remove the hose from the tyre
valve. Attach the protective cap and valve cap.
Properly stow the emergency tyre puncture re-
pair kit in the storage location. WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury when stowing
the emergency tyre puncture repair kit, keep the
sealant bottle screwed into the compressor. Fail-
ure to do so can cause the sealant to spray into
the air and get into your eyes or on the skin.
10. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or
3–10 km (2–6 miles) (if the road situation al-lows) at aspeed of 80 km/h (50 MPH) or less.
11. After driving 10 km (6 miles), or 10 minutes, screw the air tube of the air compressor se-
curely onto the tyre valve. Check the tyre pres-
sure with the pressure gauge.
The temporary repair is completed if the tyre
pressure does not drop.
Make sure the pressure is adjusted to the pres-
sure that is specified on the tyre placard before
driving.
If the tyre pressure drops under 130 kPa (19
psi):
The tyre cannot be repaired with this tyre punc-
ture repair kit. Contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
If the tyre pressure is 130 kPa (19 psi) or more
but less than the specified pressure:
Turn the compressor switch to the ON (−) position
and inflate the tyre up to the specified pressure.
Then repeat the step from 8. NCE479

8-4 Maintenance and do-it-yourself

•
Your vehicle is fitted with an automatic en-
gine cooling fan. It may come on at any time
without warning, even if the ignition switch is
in the OFF position and the engine is not run-
ning. To avoid injury, always disconnect the
negative battery cable before working near
the fan.
• Always wear eye protection whenever you
work on your vehicle.
• Never leave the engine or the transmission
related component harness connector
disconnected while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
• Avoid direct contact with used engine oil and
coolant. Improperly disposed engine oil, en-
gine coolant, and/or other vehicle fluids can
hurt the environment. Always conform to lo-
cal regulations for disposal of vehicle fluids.
This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section
provides instructions regarding only those items
which are relatively easy for an owner to perform.
You should be aware that incomplete or improper
servicing may result in operating difficulties or ex-
cessive emissions, and could affect your warranty
coverage. If in doubt about any servicing, have it
done by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop. For an overview of the engine compartment, see
“Engine compartment” in the “0. Illustrated table
of contents” section. WARNING
• Never remove the radiator or coolant reser-
voir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high-pressure fluid es-
caping from the radiator. Wait until the engine
and radiator cool down.
• Engine coolant is poisonous and should be
stored carefully in marked containers out of
the reach of children.
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory
with ahigh-quality, year-round, anti-freeze coolant
solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and
corrosion inhibitors, therefore additional cooling sys-
tem additives are not necessary.
CAUTION
• Never use any cooling system additives such
as radiator sealer. Additives may clog the
cooling system and cause damage to the en-
gine, transmission and/or cooling system.
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to
use the proper mixture ratio. Examples of the
mixture ratio of coolant and water are shown
in the following table: Outside

9. Recheck the oil level with the dipstick.
CAUTION
• The oil level should be checked regularly. Op-
erating your vehicle with an insufficient
amount of oil can damage the engine, and
such damage is not covered by the warranty.
• It is normal to add some oil between oil main-
tenance intervals or during the running-in pe-
riod, depending on the severity of operating
conditions.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND OIL
FILTER
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop
when the engine oil and oil filter require replace-
ment.
PROTECT ENVIRONMENT
It is illegal to pollute drains, watercourses and soil.
Use authorised waste collection facilities, including
civil amenity sites and garages providing facilities
for disposal of used oil and used oil filters. If in
doubt, contact your local authority for advice on dis-
posal.
The regulations concerning the pollution of the
environment will vary from country to country. REFILLING THE AdBlue® TANK
When the [Refill AdBlue] warning appears in the
vehicle information display, refill the AdBlue® tank
before the tank is empty (see “AdBlue® Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system (where fitted for
diesel engine model)” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section for the AdBlue® warning display.) Refill the
AdBlue® tank according to the procedures shown
in this section.
CAUTION
•
Use only AdBlue®. Using other fluids will
damage the AdBlue® Selective Catalytic Re-
duction (SCR) system.
• Be careful not to spill AdBlue®. If the AdBlue®
is spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it away
with
awet cloth immediately to avoid paint
damage.
• AdBlue® residues crystallize after
aperiod of
time and contaminate the paint surfaces. If
the spilled AdBlue® has crystallized, use a
sponge and cold water to clean it.
• Be careful not to inhale any ammonia vapours
that may be released. Fill the AdBlue® tank in
well-ventilated areas.
The AdBlue® tank is located underneath the ve-
