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!

Technical data
Vehicle documents,
identification plate
The technical data is determined in
accordance with European Community
standards. We reserve the right to make
modifications. Specifications in the vehicle
documents always have priority over those
given in this manual.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is
on the vehicle identification plate,
attached to the top of the front panel
support, visible when the bonnet is open.
The vehicle identification plate may also
list, in kilograms, the Gross Vehicle Weight
(GVW), the Gross Train Weight (GTW) and
the maximum front and rear axle loads
respectively. Observe these limits when
using the full load or towing capacity of
your vehicle. Information on identification plate

Technical data221
Weights, payload and roof load
The payload is the difference between the
permissible Gross Vehicle Weight (see
vehicle identification plate on page 215)
and the EC kerb weight.
To calculate the EC kerb weight, enter the
data from your vehicle below:
is the EC kerb weight.
Optional equipmen t and accessories
increase the kerb weight and in some cases
also the permissible Gross Vehicle Weight,
which means that the payload will also
change slightly.
Note the weights given on the vehicle
identification plate. The combined total of front and rear axle
loads must not exceed the permissible
Gross Vehicle Weight. For example, if the
front axle load is being fully utilized, the
rear axle can only bear a load that is equal
to the Gross Vehicle Weight minus the front
axle load.
See the vehicle identi
fication plate on
page 215 or the vehicle documents for
permissible axle loads. Roof load
The maximum permissible roof load
is 100 kg.
The roof load is the combined weight of the
roof rack and the load.
