* Note: Do not use engine oil with a viscosity higher than specified, as this may cause starting difficulties. Some oil additives may increase oil viscosity and are therefore not recommended for use in these engines.

Selecting engine oil


The engine needs oil not only to lubricate rubbing surfaces and reduce wear, but also to increase power and efficiency. Currently, the choice of oils is quite wide and allows you to choose the right grade for any engine.

How does motor oil work


Reduced friction: Without lubrication, the rubbing surfaces in the engine will heat up, melt and quickly render the engine unusable. Oil forms a layer separating the rubbing surfaces, preventing them from wearing out and generating heat.

Cooling of hot zones: The temperature inside the engine can exceed 1000°C. Oil, circulating in the engine systems, acts as a coolant and transfers heat from heated areas to the sump.



Cleaning the internal surfaces of the engine: The oil washes away combustion products (mostly soot) from the inner cylinder walls and carries them to the filter. Only the smallest particles remain in the oil until it is replaced.

Tire pressure


Tire pressure (cold):In frontBehind
normal load (no more than three people)2.1 bar2.1 bar
full load2.4 bar2.8 bar

Note 1: The pressures given are for the tyres supplied with the vehicle. They may vary depending on the brand of tyre, so the correct pressure should be obtained from the manufacturer or supplier.


Note 2: When driving at speeds higher than 160 km/h, the tire pressure should be increased. The appropriate values are specified in the owner's manual supplied with the vehicle.
