Typically basic connectivity via auxiliary inputs or USB ports if fitted on later models. No integrated smartphone mirroring (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto).
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 5,000-10,000 km or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and engine type. Refer to manual for specific recommendation.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Not applicable for diesel engines with timing chains. For petrol engines with timing belts, refer to manual (typically 80,000-100,000 km).
Engine Oil Specification:
Varies by engine and climate. Common recommendations include API CI-4 or CH-4 for diesel engines, API SL/SM for petrol. Viscosity typically 5W-30, 5W-40, or 10W-40. Consult manual for exact specification.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with appropriate anti-corrosion inhibitors. Consult manual for specific type and mixture ratio (e.g., 50/50).
Transmission Fluid Type:
Dexron III/VI for automatic transmissions, GL-4 or GL-5 for manual transmissions and transfer cases. Consult manual for specific part numbers and type.
Common Diesel Issues:
Potential for turbocharger issues, injector problems, and EGR valve clogging on high-mileage diesel engines. Importance of regular fuel filter changes.
Common Petrol Issues:
Spark plug replacement, ignition coil failure, and general wear-and-tear on older petrol engines.
