Warning

-Brake  fluid  is  very  dangerous  and 

corrosive. Avoid its contact with skin.

-When adding oil, be careful the oil 

does not splash on other parts of the 

engine; otherwise there is the risk of 

the firing.

-Do not forget closing the cap, 

otherwise  there  is  the  risk  of  firing 

due to splashing of oil on the hot 

surfaces of the engine.

-Oil level indicator shows only the 

reduction of the oil level less than 

necessary level, but not more than 

max. Amount which is only possible 

by reading the dipstick.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT

Checking levels

Oil level

Do the maintenance as per the instruction.  

Check the level regularly and top up 

between changes. (Oil consumption is 

0.5 liter per 1000 kilometers). Check the 

level with the vehicle level, engine cold, 

using the dipstick.

Dipstick

There are two marks on the dipstick:

A = maximum

Never fill the oil ,so that it passes 

the mark of A.

B = minimum

To maintain the reliability of 

engines and emission control systems, 

the use of additives in engine oil is 

prohibited.

Oil change

According to the information given in the 

servicing booklet.*

Note: Avoid long contact of the used oil 

with skin.

Viscosity selection

In all cases, the oil selected must meet 

the manufacturer’s requirements.

Always use the oil which the manufacturer 

has recommended according to the 

DOT4 standards.*

* It’s recommended to use the approved brands 
and packages, offered by the Isaco.

Cuation

Hydraulic oil destroys the painted 

surfaces. First clean the oil by a cloth 

and then wash if with the water and 

special shampoo.

Cuation

Do not use the mixture of the water and 

antifreeze in the washing reservoir. 

This damages the vehicle paint.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT

Warning

Slacken the cap by two turns to 

release the pressure to prevent any 

risk of scalding. When the pressure 

has dropped, remove the cap and 

top it up.

Warning

Avoid opening the coolant cap 

after one hour the engine has been 

stopped.

Warning

Hydraulic steering oil is very 

poisonous and should be kept in 

the closed container out of reach of 

children. If swallowed refer to the 

physician immediately.

* It’s recommended to use the approved brands 
and packages, offered by the Isaco.

Coolant level of cooling system*

Use the  fluid  recommended  by  the 

manufacturer. When the engine is warm, 

the temperature of the coolant is controlled 

by the engine fan. As this fan can operate 

with the ignition key removed and because 

the cooling system is pressurized, wait at 

least one hour after the engine has stopped 

before carrying out any work.

Note: Applicable antifreeze used in the 

vehicle must be Ethylene Glycol.

Used products

Do  not  dispose  used  oil,  brake  fluid  or 

coolant into drains or onto the ground.

Hydraulic steering fluid reservoir

Open the reservoir, with the engine at 

ambient temperature. The level should 

always be above the minimum mark and 

close to the maximum mark.

Windscreen wash level*

For best quality cleaning and safety of 

yourself, use the products recommended 

by the manufacturer.

Note: Applicable washing solution of

driving, in particular for vehicles which 

are used in town, over short distances. It 

may be necessary to check the thickness 

of the pads, even between scheduled 

maintenance.

Parking brake

Where the handbrake travel is too great 

or there is a reduction in the performance 

of the system, the handbrake should 

be adjusted, even between scheduled

Cuation

Tire under inflation cause premature 

wear and abnormal warming of 

the tires. It has also many safety 

consequences:

-poor performance on road

-risk of tire blow out and/or tread wear

-tires pressure depends to the weight 

and speed of the vehicle. Adjust the 

pressure in accordance with the 

using conditions.

-If the governor valve is not closed 

properly, the tire pressure will be 

reduced. Use always a governor 

valve similar to the original one

CHANGING OF WHEELS

Warning

-Damaged tires are very dangerous. 

Avoid driving with damaged, worn, 

flat or over-inflated tires.

-Use always similar radial tires for 

front and rear wheels. Do not use the 

tires with crisscross pattern.

-Your vehicle  wheels are not made 

for tubes. Use only tubeless tires.

-Do not drive with worn and flat tires 

or tires without adjusted pressure.

-Underinflated tires are worn rapidly 

and cause increase of the fuel 

consumption and decrease of the 

directional control.

Tread wear indicator

the tires have molded-in tread wear 

indicators in the grooves. When the 

indicators appear on the tread surface, 

the remaining depth of the tread is 

1.6 mm or less and the tire should be 

replaced.

Tires pressure

Check tire pressure at least once a week. 

Under inflation of the tires cause heat and 

life of the tire is decreased. Over inflation 

has negative effect of the convenience 

driving.

Vehicle’s tire rotation

In front-wheel drive vehicles, front tires 

are worn more than rear tires due to the 

brake, drift and steering forces. To avoid 

uneven wear of your tires and to prolong 

their life, rotate the tires as illustrated. 

Tires should be rotated every 10000 km.

Tire Size

Size of your vehicle’s tires are marked on 

its pillar  as follows:

185.65 R14, in which 185 is the tire width 

in mm, 65 is the ratio of the height to 

the width of the tire, R is indicator of the 

Radial structure and 14 is the diameter of 

the wheel in inch.
