10-29Vehicle care
Vehicles with manual transmission
can also be towed from the front with
all four wheels on the ground. In this
case, the gearshift lever must be in
neutral with the parking brake
released and the key in ignition
switch position ACC, to permit
release of the steering column lock
before towing.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
attachment anti-clockwise and refit
the cover.Towing another vehicleInterior care
Interior and upholstery
Clean the vehicle interior regularly,
including the instrument panel facia,
using Interior/Upholstery Cleaner.
Clean fabric upholstery with a
vacuum cleaner and brush. To
remove stains, use a cleaner that is
suitable for both fabrics and vinyl.
Clean seat belts only with lukewarm
water or Interior/Upholstery Cleaner.
Caution
Never tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground, to avoid
causing damage to the automatic
transmission 3.
Caution
The rear lashing eye is designed for
shipping purposes only.
Towing another vehicle from the
rear is not permitted!
Caution
Open Velcro fasteners on clothing
could damage seat upholstery.
Make sure that Velcro fasteners are
closed.

11-7Service and maintenance
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 it does not become
contaminated with fluids containing
mineral oil (oil, petrol, cleaner) as this
can damage the seals and sleeves of
the brake system.Transmission fluid
Use fluid meeting specification
Grade: API GL-4
Viscosity: 75W-85 or 75W-90.
Automatic transmission fluid
Use fluid meeting specification
ATF3309.
9 Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous!
Caution
Due to its corrosive nature, it must
not come in contact with the
paintwork. Flush any escaped
brake fluid with plenty of water.
