Child restraints

Child restraint systems

When a child restraint system is being

used, pay attention to the following

usage and installation instructions

and also those supplied with the child

restraint system.

Always comply with local or national

regulations. In some countries, the

use of child restraint systems is

forbidden on certain seats.

9 Warning

When using a child restraint

system on the front passenger

seat, the airbag systems for the

front passenger seat must be

deactivated; if not, the triggering of

the airbags poses a risk of fatal

injury to the child.

This is especially the case if rear-

facing child restraint systems are

used on the front passenger seat.

Selecting the right system

Children should travel in a rear-facing

child restraint until as old as possible.

It is appropriate to change the system

when the child's head can no longer

be properly supported at eye height.

The child's cervical vertebrae are still

very weak and in an accident they

suffer less stress in the semi-prone

rearward position than when sitting

upright.

Children under 12 years or under 150

cm (5 ft) tall should only travel in an

appropriate child restraint system.

Never carry a child while travelling in

the vehicle. The child will become too

heavy to hold in the event of

a collision.

When transporting children, use the

child restraint systems suitable for the

child's weight.

Ensure that the child restraint system

to be installed is compatible with the

vehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location of

the child restraint system within the

vehicle is correct.

Only allow children to enter and exit

the vehicle at the side facing away

from the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not

in use, secure the seat with a seat belt

or remove it from the vehicle.

Notice

Do not stick anything on the child

restraint systems and do not cover

them with any other materials.

A child restraint system which has

been subjected to stress in an

accident must be replaced.

■ Do not allow the load to protrude

above the upper edge of the

backrests.

■ Do not place any objects on the

load compartment cover or the

instrument panel, and do not cover

the sensor on top of the instrument

panel.

■ The load must not obstruct the

operation of the pedals, parking

brake and gear selector, or hinder

the freedom of movement of the

driver. Do not place any unsecured

objects in the interior.

■ Do not drive with an open load

compartment.

■ The payload is the difference

between the permitted gross

vehicle weight (see identification

plate 3 130) and the EC kerb

weight.

To calculate the EC kerb weight,

enter the data for your vehicle in the

Weights table, 3 3.

The EC kerb weight includes

weights for the driver (68 kg),

luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank

90% full).

Optional equipment and

accessories increase the kerb

weight.

■ Driving with a roof load increases

the sensitivity of the vehicle to

cross-winds and has a detrimental

effect on vehicle handling due to

the vehicle's higher centre of

gravity. Distribute the load evenly

and secure it properly with retaining

straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and

vehicle speed according to the load

conditions. Check and retighten the

straps frequently.

The permissible roof load is 35 kg.

The roof load is the combined

weight of the roof rack and the load.

Control of the vehicle

Never coast with engine not

running

Many systems will not function in this

situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power

steering). Driving in this manner is

a danger to yourself and others.

Pedals

To ensure the pedal travel is

uninhibited, there must be no mats in

the area of the pedals.

Starting and operating

New vehicle running-in

Do not brake unnecessarily hard for

the first few journeys.

During the first drive, smoke may

occur because of wax and oil

evaporating off the exhaust system.

Park the vehicle in the open for

a while after the first drive and avoid

inhaling the fumes.

Fuel and engine oil consumption may

be higher during the running-in

period.

Driving and operating 83

Ignition switch positions

LOCK = Ignition off

ACC = Steering wheel lock

released, ignition off

Before restarting or to switch off the

engine, turn key back to LOCK.

Overrun cut-off

The fuel supply is automatically cut off

during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle

is driven with a gear engaged but

accelerator is released.

Parking

■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily

ignitable surface. The high

temperature of the exhaust system

could ignite the surface.

■ Always apply parking brake without

pressing release button. Apply as

firmly as possible on downhill or

uphill slopes. Depress the foot

brake at the same time to reduce

operating force.

■ Switch off the engine and ignition.

Push key into ignition switch before

removing (vehicles with automatic

84 Driving and operating

transmission: depress foot brake

and shift into P). Turn the steering

wheel until the steering wheel lock

engages.

■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or

uphill slope, engage first gear or set

the selector lever to P before

switching off the ignition. On an

uphill slope, turn the front wheels

away from the kerb.

If the vehicle is on a downhill slope,

engage reverse gear or set the

selector lever to P before switching

off the ignition. Turn the front

wheels towards the kerb.

■ Lock the vehicle and activate the

mechanical anti-theft locking

system.

Engine exhaust

9 Danger

Engine exhaust gases contain

poisonous carbon monoxide,

which is colourless and odourless

and could be fatal if inhaled.

If exhaust gases enter the interior

of the vehicle, open the windows.

Have the cause of the fault

rectified by a workshop.

Avoid driving with an open load

compartment, otherwise exhaust

gases could enter the vehicle.

Diesel particle filter

The diesel particle filter system filters

harmful soot particles out of the

exhaust gases. The system includes

a self-cleaning function that runs

automatically during driving. The filter

is cleaned by burning off the soot

particles at high temperature. This

process takes place automatically

under set driving conditions and may

take up to 30 minutes. Fuel

consumption may be higher during

this period. The emission of smells

and smoke during this process is

normal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g.

short distances, the system cannot

clean itself automatically.

If control indicator 8 illuminates, you

should continue driving, and as soon

as the road and traffic situation

permits it, increase speed to more

than 75 km/h (50 mph) and diesel

particle filter cleaning will start.

Driving and operating 85

Stopping the journey or switching off

the engine during cleaning is not

recommended.

Caution

If the cleaning process is

interrupted more than once, there

is a great risk of provoking severe

engine damage.

Cleaning takes place quickest at high

engine speeds and loads. The control

indicator 8 extinguishes as soon as

the self-cleaning operation is

complete.

If regeneration of the diesel particle

filter is not successful or possible,

control indicator A may illuminate

and the vehicle goes into limp home

mode: interrupt your journey and

seek the assistance of a workshop

immediately.

Catalytic converter

The catalytic converter reduces the

amount of harmful substances in the

exhaust gas.

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listed

on pages 3 91, 3 132 could

damage the catalytic converter or

electronic components.

Unburnt petrol will overheat and

damage the catalytic converter.

Therefore avoid excessive use of

the starter, running the fuel tank

dry and starting the engine by

pushing or towing.

In the event of misfiring, uneven

engine running, a reduction in engine

performance or other unusual

problems, have the cause of the fault

rectified by a workshop as soon as

possible. In an emergency, driving

can be continued for a short period,

keeping vehicle speed and engine

speed low.

If the control indicator Z illuminates

while driving, the permitted emission

limits may be exceeded. Seek the

assistance of a workshop

immediately.

Malfunction indicator light Z 3 59.

The ignition key can only be removed

when the selector lever is in position

Kickdown

If the accelerator pedal is pressed

past the pressure point, the

transmission shifts to a lower gear

depending on engine speed.

Fault

In the event of a fault, s flashes. The

transmission no longer shifts

automatically.

Have the cause of the fault remedied

by a workshop.

Interruption of power supply

In the event of an interruption of

power supply, the selector lever

cannot be moved out of the P

position.

If the battery is discharged, start the

vehicle using jump leads 3 118.

If the battery is not the cause of the

fault, release selector lever:

1. Apply parking brake.

2. Remove cap concealing release

button.

3. Push the button with

a screwdriver and move the

selector lever out of P. If P is

engaged again, the selector lever

will be locked in position again.

On variants with SHIFT LOCK

button, push button and move

supply interruption remedied by

a workshop.

4. Refit release button cap.

88 Driving and operating

Manual transmission

Reverse: with the vehicle stationary,

wait 3 seconds after depressing the

clutch before engaging gear.

If the gear does not engage, set the

lever in neutral, release the clutch

pedal and depress again; then repeat

gear selection.

Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily.

When operating, depress the clutch

pedal completely. Do not use the

pedal as a foot rest.

Caution

It is inadvisable to drive with hand

resting on the selector lever.

Brakes

The brake system comprises two

independent brake circuits.

If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can

still be braked using the other brake

circuit. However, braking effect is

achieved only when you depress the

brake pedal firmly. You need to use

considerably more force for this. The

braking distance is extended. Seek

the assistance of a workshop before

continuing your journey.

When the engine is not running, the

support of the brake servo unit

disappears once the brake pedal has

been depressed once or twice.

Braking effect is not reduced, but

braking requires significantly greater

force. It is especially important to bear

this in mind when being towed.

Control indicator R 3 59.

Antilock brake system

Antilock brake system (ABS)

prevents the wheels from locking.

Driving and operating 89

ABS starts to regulate brake pressure

as soon as a wheel shows a tendency

to lock. The vehicle remains

steerable, even during hard braking.

ABS control is made apparent

through a pulse in the brake pedal

and the noise of the regulation

process.

For optimum braking, keep the brake

pedal fully depressed throughout the

braking process, despite the fact that

the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce

the pressure on the pedal.

Control indicator u 3 60.

Fault

9 Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, the

wheels may be liable to lock due

to braking that is heavier than

normal. The advantages of ABS

are no longer available. During

hard braking, the vehicle can no

longer be steered and may

swerve.

Have the cause of the fault remedied

by a workshop.

Parking brake

Always apply parking brake firmly

without operating the release button,

and apply as firmly as possible on

a downhill or uphill slope.

To release the parking brake, pull the

lever up slightly, press the release

button and fully lower the lever.

To reduce the operating forces of the

parking brake, depress the foot brake

at the same time.

Control indicator R 3 59.

Brake assist

If the brake pedal is depressed

quickly and forcefully, maximum

brake force is automatically applied

(full braking).

Maintain steady pressure on the

brake pedal for as long as full braking

is required. Maximum brake force is

automatically reduced when the

brake pedal is released.

Ride control systems

Traction Control system

Traction Control system (TC) is

a component part of the Electronic

Stability Program (ESP®) which

improves driving stability when

necessary, regardless of the type of

road surface or tyre grip, by

preventing the drive wheels from

spinning.

As soon as the drive wheels starts to

spin, engine output is reduced and

the wheel spinning the most is braked

individually. This considerably

improves the driving stability of the

vehicle on slippery road surfaces.

TC is operational as soon as the

control indicator b extinguishes.

When TC is active b flashes.

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies

with DIN EN 228.

Fuels with ethanol content greater

than 5% may only be used if the

vehicle has been specifically

developed and approved for these

fuels.

Use fuel with the recommended

octane rating 3 132. Use of fuel with

too low an octane rating can reduce

engine power and torque and slightly

increases fuel consumption.

If the RON 95 label is attached to the

tank flap, unleaded fuel with an

octane rating of 95 or higher must be

used.

Caution

Use of fuel with too low an octane

rating could lead to uncontrolled

combustion and engine damage.

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complies

with DIN EN 590. The fuel must have

low sulphur content (max. 50 ppm).

Equivalent standardised fuels with

a biodiesel (= FAME according to

EN14214) content of max. 7% by

volume (like DIN 51628 or equivalent

standards) may be used.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heating

oils or entirely or partially plant-based

diesel fuels, such as rape seed oil or

bio diesel, Aquazole and similar

diesel-water emulsions. Diesel fuels

must not be diluted with fuels for

petrol engines.

The flow and filterability of diesel fuel

are temperature-dependent. When

temperatures are low, refuel with

diesel fuel with guaranteed winter

properties.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch off engine

and any external heaters with

combustion chambers (identified

by sticker on fuel filler flap). Switch

off any mobile phones.

Follow the operating and safety

instructions of the filling station

when refuelling.

9 Danger

Fuel is flammable and explosive.

No smoking. No naked flames or

sparks.

If you can smell fuel in your

vehicle, have the cause of this

remedied immediately by

a workshop.

The fuel filler flap is opened by pulling

up the release lever located on the

outboard side of the driver's seat.

To open fuel filler cap: turn it

anticlockwise.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuel

immediately.

Fuel filler cap

Only a genuine fuel filler cap provides

full functionality. Diesel-engined

vehicles have special fuel filler caps.

Fuel consumption - CO

Emissions

The determination of fuel

consumption is regulated by

European directive 80/1268/EEC

(latest edition 2004/3/EC).

The directive is oriented to actual

driving practices: Urban driving is

rated at approx.

and extra urban

driving with approx.

. Cold starts

and acceleration phases are also

taken into consideration.

The specification of CO

emission is

also a constituent of the directive.

Driving and operating 93

The figures given must not be taken

as a guarantee for the actual fuel

consumption of a particular vehicle.

Furthermore, fuel consumption is

dependent on personal driving style

as well as road and traffic conditions.

All values are based on the EU base

model with standard equipment.

The calculation of fuel consumption

takes account of the vehicle's kerb

weight, ascertained in accordance

with the regulations. Optional

equipment may result in slightly

higher fuel consumption and CO

emission levels and a lower maximum

speed.

Wheels and tyres

Tyre condition, wheel condition

Drive over edges slowly and at right

angles if possible. Driving over sharp

edges can cause tyre and wheel

damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb

when parking.

Regularly check the wheels for

damage. Seek the assistance of

a workshop in the event of damage or

unusual wear.

Tyres

Factory-fitted tyres are matched to

the chassis and offer optimum driving

comfort and safety.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at

temperatures below 7 °C and should

therefore be fitted on all wheels.

Tyres of size 165/70 R 14

and 185/60 R 15 may be used as

winter tyres.

In accordance with country-specific

regulations, affix the speed sticker in

the driver's field of view.

Tyre designations

E.g. 185/65 R 15 88 T

185 = Tyre width, mm

65 = Cross-section ratio (tyre

height to tyre width), %

R = Belt type: Radial

RF = Type: RunFlat

15 = Wheel diameter, inches

88 = Load index e.g. 88 is

equivalent to 567 kg

T = Speed code letter

Speed code letter:

Q = up to 160 km/h (100 mph)

S = up to 180 km/h (112 mph)

T = up to 190 km/h (118 mph)

H = up to 210 km/h (130 mph)

V = up to 240 km/h (150 mph)

W = up to 270 km/h (168 mph)

Tyre pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at

least every 14 days and before any

long journey. Do not forget the spare

wheel.

Tyre pressure 3 135 and the label

located on the driver's door pillar.

The tyre pressure data refers to cold

tyres. It applies to summer and winter

tyres.

Always inflate the spare tyre to the

pressure specified for full load.

The ECO tyre pressure serves to

achieve the smallest amount of fuel

consumption possible.

110 Vehicle care

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair

safety, vehicle handling, comfort and

fuel economy and will increase tyre

wear.

9 Warning

If the pressure is too low, this can

result in considerable tyre warm-

up and internal damage, leading to

tread separation and even to tyre

blow-out at high speeds.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular

intervals.

Tyres should be replaced for safety

reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm (4

mm for winter tyres).

The legally permissible minimum

tread depth (1.6 mm) has been

reached when the tread has worn

down as far as one of the tread wear

indicators (TWI). Their position is

indicated by markings on the

sidewall.

If there is more wear at the front than

the rear, swap round front wheels and

rear wheels. Ensure that the direction

of rotation of the wheels is the same

as before.

Tyres age, even if they are not used.

We recommend tyre replacement

every 6 years.

Changing tyre and wheel size

If tyres of a different size than those

fitted at the factory are used, it may be

necessary to reprogramme the

speedometer and make other vehicle

modifications.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels

may lead to accidents and will

invalidate the vehicle type

approval.

Wheel covers

Wheel covers and tyres that are

factory approved for the respective

vehicle and comply with all of the

relevant wheel and tyre combination

requirements must be used.

If the wheel covers and tyres used are

not factory approved, the tyres must

not have a rim protection ridge

Wheel covers must not impair brake

cooling.

Vehicle care 111

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel

covers could lead to sudden

pressure loss and thereby

accidents.

Tyre chains

Tyre chains are only permitted on the

front wheels.

Always use fine mesh chains that add

no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread

and the inboard sides (including chain

lock).

9 Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

The use of tyre chains is not permitted

on the temporary spare wheel.

Tyre repair kit

Minor damage to the tyre tread or

sidewall can be repaired with the tyre

repair kit.

Do not remove foreign bodies from

the tyres.

Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that

is at tyre's sidewall near the rim

cannot be repaired with the tyre repair

kit.

9 Warning

Do not drive faster than 80 km/h

(50 mph).

Do not use for a lengthy period.

Steering and handling may be

affected.

If your vehicle has a flat tyre:

Apply the parking brake and engage

first gear, reverse gear or P.

throughout the tyre. After driving

approx. 5 km (3 miles) (but no

more than 10 minutes), stop and

check tyre pressure, using the

compressor.

17. If the tyre pressure has not

dropped below 130 kPa (1.3 bar /

19 psi), it may be adjusted to the

prescribed value. Repeat the

procedure until there is no more

loss of pressure.

If the tyre pressure has dropped

below 130 kPa (1.3 bar / 19 psi),

the vehicle must not be driven.

Seek the assistance of

a workshop.

18. Stow tyre repair kit below the floor

carpet in the load compartment.

Notice

The driving characteristics of the

repaired tyre is severely affected,

therefore have this tyre replaced.

If unusual noise is heard or the

compressor becomes hot, turn

compressor off for at least 30

minutes.

Pay attention to storage information

and best before date on sealant

bottle. Its sealing capability is not

guaranteed after this time.

Replace the used sealant bottle.

Dispose of the bottle as prescribed

by applicable laws.

contact with each other during the

jump starting process.

■ Apply the parking brake,

transmission in neutral, automatic

transmission in P.

Lead connection order:

1. Connect the red lead to the

positive terminal of the booster

battery.

2. Connect the other end of the red

lead to the positive terminal of the

discharged battery.

3. Connect the black lead to the

negative terminal of the booster

battery.

4. Connect the other end of the black

lead to a vehicle grounding point,

such as the engine block or an

engine mounting bolt. Connect as

far away from the discharged

battery as possible.

Vehicle care 119

Route the leads so that they cannot

catch on rotating parts in the engine

compartment.

To start the engine:

1. Start the engine of the vehicle

providing the jump start.

2. After 5 minutes, start the other

engine. Start attempts should be

made for no longer than 15

seconds at an interval of 1 minute.

3. Allow both engines to idle for

approx. 3 minutes with the leads

connected.

4. Switch on electrical consumers

(e.g. headlights, heated rear

window) of the vehicle receiving

the jump start.

5. Reverse above sequence exactly

when removing leads.

Towing

Towing the vehicle

Towing from the front is permissible in

emergency situations only.

Disengage cap at bottom and remove

downwards.

120 Vehicle care

The towing eye is stowed with the

vehicle tools 3 108.

Screw in the towing eye as far as it will

go until it stops in a horizontal

position. If necessary, use jack

handle to tighten.

Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow

rod – to the towing eye.

The towing eye must only be used for

towing and not recovering the vehicle.

Switch on ignition to release steering

wheel lock and to permit operation of

brake lights, horn and windscreen

wipers.

Transmission in neutral.

Caution

Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.

Excessive tractive force can

damage the vehicle.

When the engine is not running,

considerably more force is needed to

brake and steer.

To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes

from the towing vehicle, switch on the

Air recirculation system and close the

windows.

Vehicles with automatic transmission

must be towed facing forwards, not

faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) nor

further than 100 km (60 miles). In all

other cases and when the

transmission is defective, the front

axle must be raised off the ground.

Seek the assistance of a workshop.

After towing, unscrew the towing eye

and refit the cover.

Towing another vehicle

Caution

The rear lashing eye is designed

for shipping purposes only.

Towing another vehicle from the

rear is not permitted!

Vehicle care 121

Appearance care

Exterior care

Locks

The locks are lubricated at the factory

using a high quality lock cylinder

grease. Use de-icing agent only when

absolutely necessary, as this has

a degreasing effect and impairs lock

function. After using de-icing agent,

have the locks regreased by

a workshop.

Washing

The paintwork of your vehicle is

exposed to environmental influences.

Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.

When using automatic vehicle

washes, select a programme that

includes waxing.

Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,

pollen and the like should be cleaned

off immediately, as they contain

aggressive constituents which can

cause paint damage.

If using a vehicle wash, comply with

the vehicle wash manufacturer's

instructions. The windscreen wipers

and rear window wiper must be

switched off. Remove antenna and

external accessories such as roof

racks etc.

If you wash your vehicle by hand,

make sure that the insides of the

wheel housings are also thoroughly

rinsed out.

Clean edges and folds on opened

doors and the bonnet as well as the

areas they cover.

Do not clean the engine compartment

with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet

cleaner.

Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the

vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use

separate leathers for painted and

glass surfaces: remnants of wax on

the windows will impair vision.

After washing the vehicle, lubricate

door hinges to prevent wear.

Exterior lights

Headlight and other light covers are

made of plastic. Do not use any

abrasive or caustic agents, do not use

an ice scraper, and do not clean them

dry.

Polishing and waxing

Wax the vehicle regularly (at the

latest when water no longer beads).

Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.

Polishing is necessary only if the paint

has become dull or if solid deposits

have become attached to it.

Paintwork polish with silicone forms

a protective film, making waxing

unnecessary.

Plastic body parts must not be treated

with wax or polishing agents.

Windows and windscreen wiper

blades

Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois

leather together with window cleaner

and insect remover.

When cleaning the rear window,

make sure the heating element inside

the window is not damaged.

For mechanical removal of ice, use

a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the

scraper firmly against the glass so

that no dirt can get under it and

scratch the glass.

122 Vehicle care

Clean smearing wiper blades with

a soft cloth and window cleaner.

Wheels and tyres

Do not use high-pressure jet

cleaners.

Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel

cleaner.

Rims are painted and can be treated

with the same agents as the body.

Paintwork damage

Rectify minor paintwork damage with

a touch-up pen before rust forms.

Have more extensive damage or rust

areas repaired by a workshop.

Underbody

Some areas of the vehicle underbody

have a PVC undercoating while other

critical areas have a durable

protective wax coating.

After the underbody is washed, check

the underbody and have it waxed if

necessary.

Bitumen/rubber materials could

damage the PVC coating. Have

underbody work carried out by

a workshop.

Before and after winter, wash the

underbody and have the protective

wax coating checked.

Interior care

Interior and upholstery

Only clean the vehicle interior,

including the instrument panel fascia

and panelling, with a dry cloth or

interior cleaner.

The instrument panel should only be

cleaned using a soft damp cloth.

Clean fabric upholstery with

a vacuum cleaner and brush.

Remove stains with an upholstery

cleaner.

Clean seat belts with lukewarm water

or interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as open

Velcro fasteners on clothing could

damage seat upholstery.

Plastic and rubber parts

Plastic and rubber parts can be

cleaned with the same cleaner as

used to clean the body. Use interior

cleaner if necessary. Do not use any

other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol

in particular. Do not use high-

pressure jet cleaners.

128 Service and maintenance

Additional servicing

Additional operations +

Additional operations are not required

every service but can be performed in

conjunction with a regular service.

Time allowances for such work are

not included in the scope of regular

services and will be charged for

additionally. It is more economic if

these operations are performed as

part of a scheduled service than

having them performed separately.

Extreme operating conditions o

Extreme operating conditions are

given when at least one of the

following occurs frequently:

■ Cold starts

■ Stop and go

■ Trailer towing

■ Gradients and/or high altitudes

■ Poor road surfaces

■ Sand and dust

■ Extreme temperature fluctuations

Police vehicles, taxis and driving

school vehicles are also classified as

operating under extreme conditions.

Under extreme operating conditions,

it may be necessary to have certain

scheduled service work done more

frequently than the scheduled

intervals.

Seek technical advice on the

servicing requirements dependent on

the specific operating conditions.

Recommended fluids,

lubricants and parts

Recommended fluids and

lubricants

Only use products that have been

tested and approved. Damage

resulting from the use of non-

approved materials will not be

covered by the warranty.

9 Warning

Operating materials are

hazardous and could be

poisonous. Handle with care. Pay

attention to information given on

the containers.

Engine oil

Engine oil is identified by its quality

and also its viscosity. Quality is more

important than viscosity when

selecting which engine oil to use.

Engine oil quality

GM-LL-A-025 = Petrol engines

GM-LL-B-025 = Diesel engines

Service and maintenance 129

GM = General Motors Europe

LL = Longlife

A or B = Engine oil quality

specification

025 = Validity index

Engine oil that meets classifications

GM-LL-A-025 and GM-LL-B-025 is

suitable for both petrol and diesel

engines.

Topping up engine oil

Engine oils of different manufacturers

and brands can be mixed as long as

they comply with the required engine

oil (quality and viscosity).

If engine oil of the required quality is

not available, a maximum of 1 litre of

ACEA A3/B4 or A3/B3 grade may be

used (only once between each oil

change). The viscosity should be of

the correct rating.

Use of ACEA A1/B1 and A5/B5

engine oil is expressly forbidden,

since they can cause long-term

engine damage under certain

operating conditions.

Engine oil additives

The use of engine oil additives could

cause damage and invalidate the

warranty.

Engine oil viscosity

Use only engine oil viscosities SAE

0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40.

The SAE viscosity rating defines the

ability of an oil to flow. When cold, oil

is more viscous than when hot.

Multigrade oil is indicated by two

figures. The first figure, followed by

a W, indicates low temperature

viscosity and the second figure the

high temperature viscosity.

Coolant and antifreeze

Use antifreeze of recommended

specification.

The system is factory filled with

coolant designed for frost protection

down to approx. -28 °C. This

concentration should be maintained

all year round.

Coolant additives intended to give

additional corrosion protection or seal

against minor leaks can cause

function problems. Liability for

consequences resulting from the use

of coolant additives will be rejected.

Brake and clutch fluid

Only use DOT4 brake fluid.

Over time, brake fluid absorbs

moisture which will reduce braking

effectiveness. The brake fluid should

therefore be replaced at the specified

interval.

Brake fluid should be stored in

a sealed container to avoid water

absorption.

Ensure brake fluid does not become

contaminated.

Transmission fluid

Use fluid meeting specification

Grade: API GL-4

Viscosity: 75W-85 or 75W-90.

Automatic transmission fluid

Use fluid meeting specification

ATF3309.
