142Driving and operatingEnsure the radiator core and the areabetween the radiator and intercooler/
oil cooler (where installed) is cleaned, to maintain proper cooling air flow.Check the radiator and cooler cores
for blockage (sand, silt etc.).
Check the tyre treads.
Clean and check the mechanical
parts of the vehicle, particularly the
following areas:
● Driveshafts, including sealing bellows
● Front brake calipers, pads and discs
● Front suspension
● Clutch fork sealing bellows
● Rear brake calipers, pads and discs
● Rear suspension
● Fuel tank and underguard
● Breathers, axles and fuel tank
● Load sensing valve
● Transfer box and underguard
● Engine oil pan and underguardObserve the following: ● Do not spray high-pressure water
directly at the vehicle seals
● The wheels must be removed to clean all mud and stones from the
brake calipers and to check
brake pad wear
● The areas on the upper side of the underguards must be clearedof stones, to prevent damage to
the engine oil pan and the fuel
tankBrakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before
continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator R 3 85.
Antilock brake system
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.

Vehicle care157General Information
Accessories and vehicle modifications
We recommend the use of genuine
parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for your
vehicle type. We cannot assess or guarantee reliability of other products
- even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Do not make any modifications to the
electrical system, e.g. changes of
electronic control units (chip tuning).Caution
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.
Vehicle storage
Storage for a long period of time
If the vehicle is to be stored for several months:
● Wash and wax the vehicle.
● Have the wax in the engine compartment and underbody
checked.
● Clean and preserve the rubber seals.
● Change the engine oil.
● Drain the washer fluid reservoir.
● Check the coolant antifreeze and
corrosion protection.
● Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load.
● Park the vehicle in a dry, well ventilated place. Engage first or
reverse gear or move selector
lever to P. Prevent the vehicle
from rolling.
● Do not apply the electrical parking brake.● Open the bonnet, close all doorsand lock the vehicle.
● Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Beware that all systems
are not functional, e.g. anti-theft
alarm system.
Putting back into operation
When the vehicle is to be put back into
operation:
● Connect the clamp to the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Activate the electronics
of the power windows.
● Check tyre pressure.
● Fill up the washer fluid reservoir.
● Check the engine oil level.
● Check the coolant level.
● Fit the number plate if necessary.

160Vehicle careWe recommend the use of the same
grade of engine oil that was used at
the last oil change.
The engine oil level must not exceed the MAX mark on the dipstick.Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out.
Capacities 3 211, Engine oil quality/
viscosity 3 202.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Control indicators for engine oil
pressure I 3 88, engine oil life ¢
3 89, and low engine oil S 3 89.
Once the engine oil has been
changed, the engine oil life monitor needs to be reset. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Engine coolant
The coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -28 °C. In
northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled coolant provides frost protection down to
approx. -37 °C.Caution
Only use approved antifreeze.
Coolant level
Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage.
If the cooling system is cold, the
coolant level should be between the
MIN and MAX marks. Top up if the
level is low.9 Warning
Allow the engine to cool before
opening the cap. Carefully open
the cap, relieving the pressure
slowly.
To top up use a 1:1 mixture of
released coolant concentrate mixed
with clean tap water. If no coolant
concentrate is available, use clean
tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have the coolant concentration checked
and have the cause of the coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.
Engine coolant temperature control
indicator W 3 87.

192Vehicle careIf this is not the case, carefully
lower the vehicle immediately and
reposition the jack. Raise the
vehicle until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
6. Unscrew wheel nuts completely and wipe clean with a cloth.
Do not grease the threads. Put
wheel nuts somewhere where the threads will not be soiled.
7. Change the wheel. Notes on spare wheel 3 193.
8. Screw on the wheel nuts and tighten slightly by hand by turningclockwise until wheel is held
against the hub.
9. Rotate wrench anticlockwise and lower vehicle to the ground.
10. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and tighten
each wheel nut in a crosswise
sequence. Tightening torque is
140 Nm.
11. Stow the replaced wheel 3 193
and the vehicle tools 3 179.
12. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed and
replace temporary spare wheel with a full specification wheel without delay.
Jacking position for lifting platform
Rear arm position of the lifting
platform centrically under the recess
of the sill.

200Vehicle careInterior careInterior and upholstery
Only clean the vehicle interior,
including the instrument panel fascia
and panelling, with a dry cloth or
interior cleaner.
Clean the leather upholstery with
clear water and a soft cloth. In case of
heavy soiling, use leather care.
The instrument cluster and the
displays should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. If necessary use aweak soap solution.
Clean fabric upholstery with a
vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove
stains with an upholstery cleaner.
Clothing fabrics may not be
colourfast. This could cause visible
discolourations, especially on light-
coloured upholstery. Removable
stains and discolourations should be
cleaned as soon as possible.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.Caution
Close Velcro fasteners as open
Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery.
The same applies to clothing with
sharp-edged objects, like zips or
belts or studded jeans.
Plastic and rubber parts
Plastic and rubber parts can be
cleaned with the same cleaner as
used to clean the body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do not use any
other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol in particular. Do not use high-
pressure jet cleaners.
