Warning light (insufficient oil pressure)
The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that lights up when the key is turned to
the «
ON ». However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. If
the light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is
necessary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having topped-
up the oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or while
turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Serv-
ice Centre.

Engine oil change (03_02)
Have oil changed and the cartridge filter « C » replaced as indicated in the scheduled
maintenance table at an Authorised Service Centre . The engine should be emptied
by draining the oil through drainage plug « B » of the mesh filter on the flywheel side.
In order to facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantity
of oil still remains in the circuit, add approx. 950 ÷ 1000 cm³ of oil through the cap
«
A . Then start the engine, leave it running for a few minutes and shut it off: after 5
minutes, check the level and if necessary, top-up without exceeding the MAX lev-
el . The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change. For top-ups and changes,
use new oil of the recommended type.

RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADE-
QUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING
PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.
WARNING
EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AT TOP-UPS CAN LEAD TO SCALE FORMATION AND
