Accessories and vehicle
modifications
We recommend the use of Genuine Parts and Accessories and factory
approved parts specific for your
vehicle type. We cannot assess or guarantee reliability of other products
- even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Do not make any modifications to the electrical system, e.g. changes of
electronic control units (chip tuning).

■ Wash and wax the vehicle.
■ Have the wax in the engine compartment and underbody
checked.
■ Clean and preserve rubber seals.
■ Fill up fuel tank completely.■ Change the engine oil.
■ Drain the washer fluid reservoir.
■ Check the coolant antifreeze and corrosion protection.
■ Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load.
■ Park vehicle in a dry, well ventilated
place. Engage first or reverse gear. Prevent the vehicle from rolling.
■ Do not apply the parking brake.
■ Open the bonnet, close all doors and lock the vehicle.
■ Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Beware that all systems are
not functional, e.g. anti-theft alarm

118Vehicle care
On F9Q engines, the dipstick is
mounted on the oil filler cap which
must be rotated anticlockwise to
open.
For M9R engines, rotate cap
anticlockwise, remove the dipstick,
wipe it clean and re-insert it as far as
it will go.
When the engine oil level has
dropped to the "add oil" mark A, top
up engine oil.Caution
Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the minimum level!
We recommend the use of the same
type of engine oil that was used at the
last change.
The engine oil level must not exceed the maximum mark B on the dipstick.Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out.
To prevent spillage when
replenishing the engine oil on F9Q
engines, use the funnel stored in the
front of the engine compartment.
To release the funnel, raise the plastic catch on the funnel and lift upwards.
