Washer fluids

Headlamp* and windshield
washer system

Capacity approx.
5.6 US quarts/5.3 liters.

Fill with water and, if required, with a
washer antifreeze additive according to
manufacturer's recommendations.

We recommend that you mix the
washer fluid before adding it to

the reservoir.

<

Antifreeze agents for the washer
fluid are highly flammable. For this

reason, keep them away from sources
of flame and store them only in their
closed original containers, inaccessible
to children. Comply with the instruc-
tions on the containers.

Engine oil

Checking the oil level

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface
2. Switch the engine off after it has

reached normal operating tempera-
ture

3. After approx. 1 minute, pull the dip-

stick out and wipe it off with a clean
lint-free cloth, paper towel, or similar
material

4. Carefully push the dipstick all the

way into the guide tube and pull it
out again

5. The oil level should be between the

two marks on the dipstick.

As with fuel economy, oil consumption
is directly influenced by your driving
style and vehicle operating conditions.

The oil volume between the two marks
on the dipstick corresponds to approx.
1.4 US quarts/1.3 liters.
