WARNING
Oil is highly inflammable! Ensure that no oil
comes into contact with hot engine compo-
nents when topping up.

A
do not
start the engine. This could result in damage
to the engine and catalytic converter. Contact
a specialised workshop.

Otherwise oil can be drawn in through the
crankcase breather and escape into the at-
mosphere via the exhaust system.

vals given in the service schedule.
We recommend that you have the engine oil
changed by a Technical Service.
The oil change intervals are shown in the
