Vehicle security
Tyre pressure:
Check tyre pressures, including the spare, every 14 days and prior to any long journey; tyres should be
checked when cold. This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Remove the valve cap key from the fuel filler flap and use it to unscrew the valve cap. On vehicles with tyre
pressure monitoring system, screw the adapter to the valve.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the value specified for full load.
For the tyres approved for your vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration documents.
The driver is responsible for correct adjustment of tyre pressure.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to achieve the smallest amount of fuel consumption possible. It must not be used
with run-flat tyres.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and increase tyre wear.
Warning:
If the pressure is too low, this can result in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading to tread
separation and even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.
Consult a workshop regarding permitted tyres and further restrictions.

Engine oil:
Check the engine oil level manually on a regular basis to prevent damage to the engine.
Ensure that the correct specification of oil is used.
Check with the vehicle on a level surface. The engine must be at operating temperature and switched off for
at least 5 minutes.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, insert it to the stop on the handle, pull out and read the engine oil level.
Insert dipstick to stop on handle and make half a turn.
When the engine oil level has dropped to the
MIN
mark, top-up engine oil.
We recommend the use of the same grade of engine oil that was used at the last oil change.
Important:
It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the correct level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine.
Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the minimum level!
