Windscreen/rearscreen and headlamp washer fluid level

In order to add fluid, lift up the cap, lift up the filter and pour a mixture of water and Arexons DP1 fluid in the following percentages:

• 30% Arexons DP1 and 70% water in summer;
• 50% Arexons DP1 and 50% water in winter.

In the case of temperatures below -20 °C, use undiluted Arexons DP1.

Versions with headlamp washers are fitted with a dip stick indicating the amount of fluid in the windscreen washer reservoir.

Engine oil level

The engine oil level is checked with the vehicle on a flat surface and the engine cold, or around 10 minutes after the engine has been switched off.

The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the dip stick. The gap between the MIN and MAX levels corresponds to around 1 litre of oil.

If the level of the oil is close to or actually below the MIN reference, add oil through the filler until the MAX reference is reached.

The level of the oil should never exceed the MAX reference.

When topping up with oil take great care to avoid accidentally spilling engine oil in the alternator ventilation slits which could cause serious damage to the alternator and also represents a fire hazard.

Do not add oil with different characteristics from those of the oil used in the engine. Only the use of semi-synthetic oil guarantees the planned maintenance intervals.

After having added oil, before checking the level, let the engine run for a few seconds and wait for several minutes after it has been switched off.
