ELECTRICAL OUTLET
The electrical outlet is located on the
lower right in the center of the
dashboard.
NOTE: Maximum capacity: 180 VACONTROL AND OPERATION OF RADIO
TRANSMITTERS
Radio, Telephone and Two Way Radio
CAUTION!
 Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent engine starting.
 Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these
intermittently and with greater caution.
 After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
WARNING!
Please do not forget that your primary responsi-
bility is to drive the vehicle. Only operate the ra-
dio, telephone, navigation system, two-way radio
or fax when road and traffic conditions permit.
Otherwise you could be distracted from the traffic
and cause an accident. Always obey local laws and
regulations.
Remember that at a speed of just 30 mph (about 50
km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 50
feet (about 14 m) every second.

MOBILE AND TWO WAY RADIO AND FAX
MACHINES
Radio transmitters, such as a mobile phone or a citizens
band unit should only be used inside the vehicle they
are connected to an antenna that is installed on the
outside of the vehicle.
Refer to the radio transmitter operation instructions
regarding use of an external antenna.CUP HOLDER
The cup holder in the driver’s compartment is located
below the instrument panel between the driver’s and
front passenger’s seats.
WARNING!
Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a
built-in or attached antenna (i.e., without being
connected to an external antenna) from inside the
vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so
could lead to a malfunction of the vehicle’s elec-
tronic system, possibly resulting in severe person-
al injuries and death.

246 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is dead, the engine can be started with
jumper cables from another vehicle’s battery.
WARNING!
After changing a wheel, you must, for safety reasons,
 have the specified tightening torque checked. The
wheels could otherwise work loose.
 check the tire inflation pressure and correct it if
necessary.
 retighten the wheel bolts and wheel nuts to the
specified tightening torque once the vehicle has
been driven for 30 miles (50 km). If new or
repainted wheels are fitted, the wheel bolts or nuts
must be retightened again after about 600 to 3,000
miles (about 1,000 to 5,000 km).
 have a reversed direction of tire rotation corrected
as soon as possible at a qualified specialist
workshop. The vehicle handling characteristics
could otherwise be affected.WARNING!
A battery will produce hydrogen gas, which is
flammable and very explosive. Avoid open flames
and the formation of sparks in the vicinity of the
batteries. Refrain from smoking or cell phone use.
Avoid improper connection of jumper cables.
Observe safety precautions when handling
batteries.
Exercise care near moving engine components and
electrical cables.
Failure to follow these directions will cause
damage to the electronic components and can lead
to a battery explosion and severe injury or death.

260 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Check the engine oil level at regular intervals with the
vehicle standing on a level surface.
 Check engine oil level about 5 minutes after
stopping the engine, which should have reached its
regular operating temperature. The normal
operating temperature should have been reached
and maintained for some time.
 Wipe the dipstick clean with a lint-free cloth before
checking.
The engine oil level must be between the
lower (MIN) and upper (MAX) marks on
the dipstick.
Add engine oil only up to the MAX mark.
Excess oil must be drained or siphoned off.Ribbed V-Belt
The ribbed V-belt drives the accessories, such as
generator, coolant pump and hydraulic steering pump.
The ribbed V-belt is automatically kept tensioned.
Check the state of the ribbed V-belt regularly, such as
at every engine oil level check.
The belt must not be damaged, worn, oiled or glazed.
There must be no cracks in the belt running surface.
Replace damaged belts.
