in which the car is used, oil consumption can be
up to 0.5 Ltr./1000 km. Oil consumption is Likely
to be higher for the first 5000 km. For this rea

lar intervals, preferably when filling the tank and
before a journey.

Cooling system
Coolant
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory
with a mixture of conditioned water and coolant
additive. This coolant must not be changed.
The coolant Level is monitored via a warning Lamp
on the infotainment display
¢page 12.
However,
we re com mend that it shou Ld be checked occa
sionally.
If you do need to top up the coolant, use a mix
ture of water and coolant additive. We recom
mend mixing coolant additive with distilled wa
ter .
Coolant additive
The coolant additive contains anti-freeze and cor
rosion protection agent. Only use one of the fol
lowing coolant additives. It is possible to mix
these additives.

The amount of coolant additive which needs to
be mixed with the water depends on the temper
atures to be expected in the winter season. If the
anti-freeze concentration is too Low, the coolant
can freeze and cause engine damage.
