If the level is in area
⇒
page 198, fig. 137 , you must not top up with oil.
If the oil level is in area , you may top up with oil (approx. 0,5 l).
If the oil level is in area , you must top up with oil (approx. 1,0 l).
It is normal for the engine to consume a certain amount of oil. Consumption
can be up to 1.0 litres per 1,000 km. For this reason the engine oil level must
be checked at regular intervals, preferably when filling the tank and before a
journey.
When the engine is working hard, for instance during sustained high-speed
motorway cruising in summer, when towing a trailer or climbing on mountain
passes, the oil level should preferably be kept within area
and not above
this.
WARNING
Any work carried out in the engine compartment or on the engine must be
carried out cautiously.
•
When working in the engine compartment, always observe the safety
warnings

Caution

in damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Contact an Authorised
Service Centre.
