Additives, Checks and Maintenance

Part: Checks and maintenance

Regular maintenance of the vehicle ensures a long lifespan. Adding a specific additive to the diesel improves performance, cold starts, and reduces sludge in the engine. To add the additive, unscrew the cap of the designated tank located in the boot, insert the spout of the container, and press to introduce the correct amount of liquid. Using specific software designed for this vehicle, it is possible to perform a complete diagnosis of the situation and intervene early on any potential issues that may arise.
