All tubes and plug connections, which had been removed 
or disconnected for the test and adjustment, must be re-
inserted or connected.

Exhaust-Emission Analysis on Models 
with Diesel Engines
♦When possible the test should be carried out immedi-
ately after the road test and also outdoors. If specific 
reasons prevent this (weather conditions, excessive 
noise in residential areas) the test may also be per-
formed in the workshop.
♦Secure the engine bonnet in the first stop while meas-
uring to reduce the noise.
Visual inspection
♦Hose for crankcase ventilation is connected
♦Fuel system and injection pump must be tight
♦The exhaust system must be undamaged and tight
♦All vacuum hoses are connected
Test and setting conditions
•Engine oil temperature at least 80 °C
•All electrical components disconnected
•No fault stored in the fault memory ⇒Chapter 02-6, 
connect vehicle system tester and interrogate fault 
memory
Correct detected faults before measuring (repair meas-
ure).
Connect the test equipment
–Connect the tester in compliance with the operating 
instructions.
–Start engine, warm up to normal temperature and run 
in idle.
–Perform the exhaust-emission analysis.
♦Activate and inspect auxiliary equipment such as e.g. 
power steering, automatic gearbox or air conditioning 
system. Check whether the engine continues to run 
perfectly under this load.
♦All tubes and plug connections, which had been re-
moved or disconnected for the test and adjustment, 
must be re-inserted or connected.

02-9 Miscellaneous
Tow starting/Towing
♦A towing rope or towing bar must only be fitted to the 
above towing lugs.
♦The towing rope must be elastic to protect the vehicle. 
Therefore only use synthetic ropes or ropes manufac-
tured in an equally elastic material. However, it is saf-
er to use a towing bar!
♦Make sure no unauthorised traction forces and no jolt-
ing loads are exerted. During towing manoeuvres 
away from hardened road surfaces there is a risk of 
overloading and damaging the fixation parts.
♦Before starting the engine by towing, first use the bat-
tery of another vehicle as a start aid.
Front: The threaded hole of the front towing lug is located 
in the front right part of the bumper behind the cover grill.
Screw in the towing lug by hand by turning it to the left (in 
the direction of the arrow) up to the stop.
Rear: The towing lug is located below the rear right part 
of the bumper. 
♦Comply with the legal regulations on towing.
♦Both drivers must be familiar with the specificities of 
the towing process.
♦When using a towing rope the driver of the towing ve-
hicle must press the clutch very smoothly when driv-
ing off and changing gear.
♦The driver of the towed vehicle must make sure the 
rope is kept taut.
♦The ignition must be switched on to ensure the steer-
ing wheel does not lock and the turn signals, horn, 
windscreen wipers and windscreen washer system 
can be activated.
♦As the brake servo unit only operates with the engine 
running, the brake pedal must be pressed much hard-
er when the engine is switched off.
♦On vehicles with power steering the steering is much 
harder when the engine is switched off.
♦If there is no lubricant in the gearbox or automatic 
gearbox the vehicle must only be towed with the drive 
wheels raised.
When towing vehicles with a manual gearbox 
pay attention to the following:
–Before towing engage 2nd or 3rd gear.
–Switch on ignition.

–As soon as the engine starts, press clutch and remove 
gear to avoid driving into the towing vehicle.
Do not start the engine of vehicles fitted with an exhaust 
catalyst by towing over a long distance as unburnt fuel 
may get into the catalyst and burn there.   This may result 
in overheating and hence in the destruction of the cata-
lyst.
Perform a test drive
The following must be assessed within the scope of a test 
drive according to the vehicle equipment and the availa-
ble possibilities (city/country, weather) 
–Inspect engine for performance, misfiring, idling be-
haviour and acceleration.
–Foot and handbrake: Functional test (jerking, squeak-
ing, pulling to one side) ABS operation. Brake pedal-
idle travel: max. 
1/3 of the idle travel. 
–Inspect the lever position and smooth operation of the 
gearshifts. 
–Inspect the driving behaviour of the clutch as well as 
the pedal force and smell.
–Inspect automatic gearbox: Selector lever position, 
selector lever lock, shifting behaviour, display indica-
tion in dash panel insert.
–Inspect steering clearance of the vehicle standing on 
its wheels, with engine running by turning the steering 
wheel one way and then the other (wheels straight 
ahead). There must be no play on the steering.  
–Inspecting the sun roof operation.
–Pay attention to pulling and to the straigt ahead posi-
tion of the steering wheel during driving.
–Inspect the imbalance of the wheels, drive shafts and 
propshafts.
–Inspecting functions: Heating, air conditioning, venti-
lation, instruments and warning lights, mirror adjust-
ment.
–Inspect engine, gearbox, axles, steering, brakes, 
clutch, bodywork for abnormal noises
Raising the vehicle
Using a lift platform and a workshop jack 
The vehicle must only be raised with a workshop jack in 
the indicated jacking points -arrows-.
To avoid damage use a suitable rubber or wood insert.

WARNING!
 Under no circumstances may the arms of the lift 
platform or jack be positioned under the engine, 
the gearbox, the front or rear axles.
 Never start the engine or engage a gear when 
the vehicle is raised, while a driving wheel is in 
contact with the ground.  
 Secure the vehicle on the lift platform before its 
centre of gravity shifts considerably because of 
successive disassembly operations.
 The vehicle must not be supported at the front 
under the sill.
