recovery centres and the recycling of
end-of-life vehicles is available on our website, where legally required. Only

recycling centre.Vehicle checks
Performing work9 Warning
Only perform engine compartment
checks when the ignition is off.
The vehicle must not be in an
Autostop 3 136.
The cooling fan may start
operating even if the ignition is off.
9 Danger
The ignition system generates
extremely high voltages. Do not
touch.
The caps for topping up the engine oil, the coolant, the brake fluid, the
washer fluid and the oil dipstick
handle are yellow for ease of
identification.
Bonnet
Opening
Pull the release lever and return it to
its original position.

Vehicle care167
Move the safety catch, located
slightly right of centre, to the left and raise the bonnet.
The bonnet is held open
automatically by a lifter.
If the bonnet is opened during an
Autostop, the engine will be restarted automatically for safety reasons.
Stop-start system 3 136.
Caution
Ensure the windscreen wiper is
switched off before opening the
bonnet 3 86.
Closing
Lower the bonnet and allow it to fall
into the latch from a low height
(approx. 30 cm). Check that the
bonnet is engaged.Caution
Do not press the bonnet into the
latch, to avoid dents.
9 Warning
In the event of even a minor head-
on collision, have the bonnet
safety catch checked by a
workshop.
Engine oil
Check the engine oil level manually on a regular basis to prevent damage
to the engine.
Ensure that the correct specification
of oil is used. Recommended fluids
and lubricants 3 205.
The maximum engine oil
consumption is 0.6 l per 1000 km.
Check with the vehicle on a level
surface. The engine must be at
operating temperature and switched
off for at least ten minutes.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
reinsert fully, pull out and read the
engine oil level.
When the engine oil level has
dropped to the MIN mark, top-up
engine oil.
Caution
Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the minimum level!

168Vehicle care
We recommend the use of the same
grade of engine oil that was used at
the last change.
The engine oil level must not exceed
the maximum mark MAX on the
dipstick.
Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out.
To prevent spillage when
replenishing the engine oil, we
recommend using a funnel to top-up the engine oil. Ensure funnel is
securely located onto the filler pipe.
After topping-up, put the funnel into a
plastic bag and stow it securely.
A stabilization of the engine oil
consumption will not take place until the vehicle has been driven several
thousand kilometres. Only then can
the actual degree of consumption be
established.
If consumption exceeds more than
0.6 litres every 1000 km after this
running-in period, consult a
workshop.
Capacities 3 219.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.Engine air filter
Engine air flow indicator
On certain models, an indicator is
located in the engine induction
system and indicates if the air-intake
to the engine is restricted.
Clear:No restrictionRed tell-tale:Restricted
If the red tell-tale is displayed when
the engine is running, consult a
workshop.

Vehicle care173disconnecting the main vehicle
battery or before jump starting the vehicle.
The terminals are designed for
additional electrical consumers up to
a maximum of 50 A.
Jump starting 3 197.
Diesel fuel filter The diesel fuel filter is accessible from the underside of the vehicle.
Drain filter of residual water at every
engine oil change.
Place a container underneath the
filter housing. Loosen the knurled
screw on the lower part of the filter by approx. one turn, to drain off the
water.
The filter is drained as soon as water-
free diesel fuel emerges. Retighten
the screw.
Check diesel fuel filter at shorter
intervals if the vehicle is subjected to
extreme operating conditions.
Diesel fuel system bleeding
If the fuel tank has been run dry, it will be necessary to air vent or bleed the
diesel fuel system.
Refuel then proceed as follows:With ignition key
● Switch on the ignition (key to position 2) for five seconds at a
time.
● Switch off ignition (key to position
1 ) for three seconds.
● Repeat this process multiple times.
● Start the engine (key to position 3) then switch off (key to position
0 ).
Ignition switch positions 3 132.

Service and maintenance205certain service work may be requiredmore frequently than the regular
service interval.
Service display 3 93.
Confirmations
Confirmation of service is recorded in the Service and warranty booklet.
The date and mileage is completed
with the stamp and signature of the servicing workshop.
Make sure that the Service and
warranty booklet is completed
correctly as continuous proof of
service is essential if any warranty or goodwill claims are to be met, and is
also a benefit when selling the
vehicle.
Service display The service interval is based on
several parameters depending on
usage.
The service display, located in the
Driver Information Centre, indicates
when the next service is due. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.

Recommended fluids and lubricants
Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.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 its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil
aging control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
Dexos is the newest engine oil quality
that provides optimum protection for diesel engines. If it is unavailable,
engine oils of other listed qualities
must be used.
Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 209.
Topping up engine oilCaution
In case of any spilled oil, wipe it up and dispose it properly.
Engine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long as
they comply with the required engine
oil quality and viscosity.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 209.
Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.

206Service and maintenanceEngine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade
depending on the minimum ambient
temperature 3 209.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only silicate-free long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for the
vehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frost
protection down to approx. -28 °C.
This concentration should be
maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that
intend to give additional corrosionprotection or seal against minor leaks
can cause function problems. Liability
for consequences resulting from the
use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.
Washer fluid Use only washer fluid approved for
the vehicle to prevent damage of
wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and
rubber parts. Consult a workshop.
Brake fluid Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified
interval.
AdBlue Only use AdBlue to reduce the
nitrogen oxides in the exhaust
emission 3 141.
