3. When the outside temperatures are cold, an anti-freeze agent should be added to the water so that it does not freeze.
Follow the mixing instructions on the packaging of the anti-freeze agent.
There is a screen in the filler tube in the windshield washer fluid reservoir. The screen keeps large particles of contaminants
from entering the washer nozzles when you refill the washer fluid ⇒
.
Do not use distilled water to fill the windshield washer fluid tank.
WARNING
Unsuitable additives in the windshield washer fluid can create an oily film on the vehicle windshield. This may reduce
visibility and increase the risk of accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
Never add coolant additive or similar unsuitable additives to the windshield washer fluid.
NOTICE
Using a cleaning agent that contains acid may result in damage and cause the spray nozzles to malfunction.
Never top up the windshield washer fluid tank using a cleaning agent that contains acid, e.g. vinegar-based
cleaners.
NOTICE
Mixing different windshield cleaners can cause the components to flocculate and the spray nozzles to clog.
Only use suitable alcohol-based windshield cleaners.
Never mix different windshield cleaners together.
NOTICE
When you top up the windshield washer fluid, if you use a damaged screen or do not use a screen at all, dirt particles may
get into the windshield washer fluid tank. The spray nozzles may become clogged.
Take the screen out only to clean it.
Replace a damaged or missing screen.
Engine oil
Introduction
The engine oils are determined based on the requirements of the engines, emissions control systems, and the fuel quality. On
all combustion engines, the engine oil comes into contact with combustion residue and fuel, which affects the aging of the
engine oil. Using the correct engine oil is essential for the function and service life of the engine. The vehicle is filled at the
factory with a special multi-purpose, low-viscosity oil that can generally be used year-round.
The vehicle can consume engine oil. The engine oil consumption can vary and can change throughout the service life of the
vehicle. Depending on the driving style and the usage conditions, the engine oil consumption can be up to 1 l (1 qt) per
2000 kilometers (1200 miles); it can also be higher within the first 5000 kilometers (3100 miles) on new vehicles. Because of
this, the engine oil level must be checked regularly and it is best to check the level before long drives.
