Care of the vehicle and cleaning
Plastic parts
Exterior plastic parts will come clean using a damp cloth. If this is not suffi-
cient, plastic parts can also be treated with special solvent-free plastic
cleaning detergents.
Do not use paint cleaners, polishes or wax on plastic parts. 
Windows and exterior mirrors
Remove snow and ice from windows and rear vision mirrors with a plastic
scraper only. To avoid damaging the surface of the glass, the scraper should
only be pushed in one direction and not moved to and fro.
The windows should also be cleaned on the inside at regular intervals.
Use a separate cloth or chamois to dry the windows and rear vision mirrors.
Do not use the chamois used to polish the bodywork to dry the windows.
Waxing and polishing residues could cause smears on the glass and hinder
visibility.
CAUTION
● Never use warm or hot water to remove snow and ice from the windows
and mirrors. Risk of cracking glass!
● Make sure you do not damage the paintwork on the vehicle on removing
snow and ice from the windows and rear vision mirrors.
● Do not remove the snow or ice from windows and mirrors that are dirty
with thick particles, e.g. gravel, sand or road salt. Risk of damage to surface
of glass and windows. Radio reception and aerial
In vehicles factory-fitted with an audio and navigation system, the aerial
may be installed in different places:
●
Inside the rear window next to the heating elements
● on the roof of the vehicle. 
Headlights
Use soap and clean, hot water to clean the front headlights.
CAUTION
● Never rub the headlights dry and do not use sharp objects to clean the
plastic glass material. These could damage the protective paint and cause
the headlights to crack.
● Do not use aggressive cleaning products or chemical solvents to clean
the glass. This could damage the headlights. 
Care of rubber seals
The weatherstrips on doors and windows will remain pliable and last longer
if they are occasionally treated with a suitable rubber care product. This will
prevent premature ageing and leaks. If they are correctly cared for, the seals
will be less likely to freeze up in the winter. 
Door lock cylinder
Special products must be used to defrost lock cylinders. 

Type plate
The type plate ⇒ Fig. 174 is located at the bottom of the front driver side
door pillar between the front and rear door.
The type plate indicates the following weights:
Total permitted weight of the vehicle when loaded
Maximum authorised weight of the vehicle with a trailer, when the vehi-
cle operates as a tractor
Maximum permitted load of the front axle
Maximum permitted load of the rear axle
Weight in running order
The weight in running order only has one approximate value. This value cor-
responds to the minimum operative weight of the vehicle without additional
equipment that increases its weight, i.e. air conditioning, spare wheel, tow-
ing bracket.
The weight in running order also includes 75 kg of the weight of the driver
and the service liquids, in addition to a fuel tank at 90 % capacity.
From the difference between the total permitted weight in running order the
approximate carrying capacity can be calculated ⇒ 
.
The carrying capacity must include:
● occupants
● all pieces of equipment and other weights
● roof loads incl. roof rack 
