engine oil pressure may be dangerously
low, interrupting engine lubrication and
resulting in damage to the engine and/or
locking of the driving wheels:
z Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly
as possible without impeding other
vehicles,
z Depress clutch,
z Move gearshift lever to neutral
(automatic transmission to N),
z Switch off ignition. Check engine oil level before consulting
a workshop. If the oil level is low, top up
using the specified engine oil - see pages

Self-help, vehicle care200
Battery
The battery is maintenance-free.
Retrofitted electrical or electronic
accessories can place an additional load
on the battery or discharge the battery.
Consult a workshop regarding technical
possibilities, such as fitting a more powerful
battery.Laying up the vehicle for more than
6 weeks can lead to battery discharge,
which may reduce the service life of the
battery. Disconnect battery from on-board
power supply by detaching negative
terminal (anti-theft alarm system
3 is then
disabled).
Ensure that ignition is switched off before
connecting the battery. Then perform the
following actions:
z Set date and time in the information
display - see pages 80, 86.
z If necessary, activate the electric
windows and sun roof 3 - see pages
32, 34.
In order to prevent the battery from
discharging, some consumers such as the
courtesy lamps automatically switch off
after a delay. Charge a disconnected battery every
6 weeks.
9 Warning
We recommend that you have battery
changes carried out by a workshop who
knows the laws concerning the disposal
of used batteries, therefore protecting
the environment and your health.
9 Warning
Ensure there is adequate ventilation
when charging the batt
ery. There is a risk
of explosion if gases generated during
charging are allowed to accumulate.
Battery acid is poisonous and corrosive.
Do not allow it to contact eyes, skin,
fabrics or painted surfaces; direct
contact may cause injuries and damage.
Avoid dealing with the battery near
naked flames and anything that would
generate sparks. No smoking!
