ways replace the brake linings on both sides (repair
measure).
Avoid soiling from brake fluid or grease flowing out.
Inspecting brake system for leaks and
damage
–Inspect master brake cylinder, brake servo unit (for
ABS: hydraulic unit), brake pressure regulator, brake
calipers for leaks and damage.
–Inspect brake hoses for twisting.
–Ensure that the brake hoses do not touch any parts of
the vehicle when the steering is turned to full left or full
right lock.
–Inspect the brake hoses for porous and brittle points.
Inspect the brake hoses and brake lines for chafing
points.
–Inspect the brake connections and attachments to en-
sure they are correctly fitted, free of leaks and corro-
sion.
Changing brake fluid (every 2 years)
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Extraction device
♦Brake pedal support, e.g. - V.A.G 1869/2-
Use only fresh genuine brake fluid FMVSS 571.116 DOT
4.
–Unscrew cap -1- from the brake fluid reservoir
Note
WARNING!
Any defects found must be rectified (repair meas-
ure).
WARNING!
Brake fluid must never come into contact with
fluids containing crude oils (oil, petrol, cleaning
agent). Crude oils damage the gaskets and
boots of the brake system.
Brake fluid is toxic. Because of its caustic effect
brake fluid must not come into contact with
paint.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs mois-
ture from the surrounding air . Therefore it
should always be stored in airtight containers.
Wash any parts stained with brake fluid with
large volumes of water.
Observe the disposal instructions!

Airbag units: Visual inspection
Inspecting operation of airbag unit
When the ignition is switched on the airbag warning lamp
K75 lights up for approximately 4 seconds. Should the
warning lamp flash again for a further 12 seconds this is
an indication that the front passenger airbag or the side
airbag unit on the front passenger is electronically locked
(valid for vehicles which do not have an airbag switch-off
function).
The warning lamp will go out after 4 seconds for vehicles
which are fitted with an airbag switch-off function and
switching off of the front passenger airbag will be sig-
nalled by the warning lamp „AIRBAG OFF“ in the middle
of the dash panel.
♦If warning lamp K75 does not go out after 4 seconds
and lights up continously there is a fault.
♦If the warning lamp goes out and then lights up again
the control unit is not coded, the wrong control unit has
been fitted or there is a fault.
♦If the airbag warning light K75 flashes constantly, it is
then necessary to replace the airbag control unit J234.
If the warning light indicates a fault, the fault must be
rectified (repair measure) Body Work; Rep. Gr. 01.

steering wheel -1- and surface of the dash panel -2-
on the front passenger side for external damage.
–Undertake a visual inspection of the front seats to de-
termine any damage (valid for vehicles with side air-
bags).
♦Only use original seat upholstery approved for side
airbags.
♦The use of commercially available protective seat cov-
ers is prohibited as this impairs the operation of the
side airbags.
♦Replace all harpoon clips with new original parts.
♦In the event of damage to the upholstery - tears, burn
holes etc. - in the area of the side airbag always re-
place the upholstery with a new original part for safety
reasons.

Tow starting/Towing
♦A towing rope or towing bar must only be fitted to the
above towing lugs.
♦The towing rope must be elastic to protect the vehicle.
Therefore only use synthetic ropes or ropes manufac-
tured in an equally elastic material. However, it is saf-
er to use a towing bar!
♦Make sure no unauthorised traction forces and no jolt-
ing loads are exerted. During towing manoeuvres
away from hardened road surfaces there is a risk of
overloading and damaging the fixation parts.
♦Before starting the engine by towing, first use the bat-
tery of another vehicle as a start aid.
Front: The threaded hole of the front towing lug is located
in the front right part of the bumper behind the cover grill.
Screw in the towing lug by hand by turning it to the left (in
the direction of the arrow) up to the stop.
Rear: The towing lug is located below the rear right part
of the bumper.
♦Comply with the legal regulations on towing.
♦Both drivers must be familiar with the specificities of
the towing process.
♦When using a towing rope the driver of the towing ve-
hicle must press the clutch very smoothly when driv-
ing off and changing gear.
♦The driver of the towed vehicle must make sure the
rope is kept taut.
♦The ignition must be switched on to ensure the steer-
ing wheel does not lock and the turn signals, horn,
windscreen wipers and windscreen washer system
can be activated.
♦As the brake servo unit only operates with the engine
running, the brake pedal must be pressed much hard-
er when the engine is switched off.
♦On vehicles with power steering the steering is much
harder when the engine is switched off.
♦If there is no lubricant in the gearbox or automatic
gearbox the vehicle must only be towed with the drive
wheels raised.
When towing vehicles with a manual gearbox
pay attention to the following:
–Before towing engage 2nd or 3rd gear.
–Switch on ignition.
