Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Note:Make sure that your vehicleis on level ground.
Note:Oil expands when it is hot. Thelevel may therefore extend a fewmillimetres beyond the MAX mark.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it witha clean, lint free cloth. Replace thedipstick and remove it again to checkthe oil level.
If the level is at the MIN mark, top upimmediately.
Topping up
WARNINGS
Only top up when the engine iscold. If the engine is hot, wait 10minutes for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler capwhen the engine is running.

Note:If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below -20°C, you mustnot use SAE 10W-40 engine oil.
Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets thespecification defined by WSS-M2C913-B, you must use SAE 5W-30(preferred), SAE 5W-40 (except Flexfuel vehicles) or SAE 10W-40 thatmeets the specification defined by either ACEA A1/B1 (preferred) or ACEAA3/B3. Using these oils can result in longer engine cranking periods, reducedengine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased emission levels.

Maintenance

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 17.Immediately drive approximatelythree kilometres (two miles) sothat the sealant can seal thedamaged area.
Note:When pumping in the sealantthrough the tyre valve, the pressuremay rise up to 6 bar (87 psi) but willdrop again after about 30 seconds.
WARNING
If you experience heavyvibrations, unsteady steeringbehaviour or noises while driving,reduce your speed and drive withcaution to a place where it is safe foryou to stop the vehicle. Recheck thetyre and its pressure. If the tyrepressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi)or if there are any cracks, bumps orsimilar damage visible, do notcontinue driving with this tyre.
Checking the tyre pressure
1.Stop the vehicle after drivingapproximately three kilometres(two miles). Check, and wherenecessary, adjust the pressure ofthe damaged tyre.
2.Attach the kit and read the tyrepressure from the pressure gaugeF.
3.If the pressure of the sealant-filledtyre is 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more,adjust it to the specified pressure.See Technical specifications(page 224).
4.Follow the inflation procedureonce again to top up the tyre.
5.Check the tyre pressure againfrom the pressure gauge F. If thetyre pressure is too high, deflatethe tyre to the specified pressureusing the pressure relief valve B.
6.Once you have inflated the tyre toits correct tyre pressure, movethe compressor switch H toposition 0, remove the powerplug G from the socket, unscrewthe hose C, fasten the valve capand replace the protective cap A.
7.Leave the sealant bottle K in thebottle holder E and store the kitaway safely in its original location.
8.Drive to the nearest tyre specialistto get the damaged tyre replaced.Before the tyre is removed fromthe rim, inform your tyre dealerthat the tyre contains sealant.Renew the kit as soon as possibleafter it has been used once.
Note:Remember that emergencyroadside tyre repair kits only providetemporary mobility. Regulationsconcerning tyre repair after usage oftyre repair kit may differ from countryto country. You should consult a tyrespecialist for advice.
WARNING
Before driving, make sure thetyre is adjusted to therecommended inflation pressure.See Technical specifications(page 224). Monitor the tyre pressureuntil the sealed tyre is replaced.
