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!
Engine oil quality:
For engine lubrication, use engine oil which meets the following specification:
All petrol and diesel engines = dexos 2
Dexos 2 is the newest engine oil quality that provides optimum protection for petrol and diesel engines. If it is
unavailable, engines oils of other listed qualities must be used.
Alternative qualities if dexos 2 is not available:
Petrol engines = GM-LL-A-025
Diesel engines = GM-LL-B-025
Alternative qualities if GM-LL-A-025 / GM-LL-B-025 are not available:
Petrol engines = ACEA A3 / B3
Diesel engines without diesel particle filter = ACEA A3 / B4
Diesel engines with diesel particle filter = ACEA C3
Tyre pressure:
Check tyre pressures, including the spare, every 14 days and prior to any long journey; tyres should be
checked when cold. The tyre pressures shown below apply for summer and winter tyres.
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.
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.
