Other information:
The paintwork is an important part of the vehicle's corrosion protection and
therefore needs to be checked regularly. The most common types of paint damage are
minor stone chips, scratches and damage to e.g. the edges of fenders, doors and
bumpers...
Engine oil of type VCC RBS0-2AE 0W-20 must be used. Lower oil grades may not
offer the same fuel economy, engine performance or engine protection.
