Exhaust-emission AnalysisEdition 09.04
S00.5301.14.2002-8 page 5 02
All tubes and plug connections, which had been removed
or disconnected for the test and adjustment, must be re-
inserted or connected.
Technical data of the spark plugs Chapter 02-3.
Exhaust-Emission Analysis on Models
with Diesel Engines
♦When possible the test should be carried out immedi-
ately after the road test and also outdoors. If specific
reasons prevent this (weather conditions, excessive
noise in residential areas) the test may also be per-
formed in the workshop.
♦Secure the engine bonnet in the first stop while meas-
uring to reduce the noise.
Visual inspection
♦Hose for crankcase ventilation is connected
♦Fuel system and injection pump must be tight
♦The exhaust system must be undamaged and tight
♦All vacuum hoses are connected
Test and setting conditions
•Engine oil temperature at least 80 °C
•All electrical components disconnected
•No fault stored in the fault memory ⇒Chapter 02-6,
connect vehicle system tester and interrogate fault
memory
Correct detected faults before measuring (repair meas-
ure).
Connect the test equipment
–Connect the tester in compliance with the operating
instructions.
–Start engine, warm up to normal temperature and run
in idle.
–Perform the exhaust-emission analysis.
♦Activate and inspect auxiliary equipment such as e.g.
power steering, automatic gearbox or air conditioning
system. Check whether the engine continues to run
perfectly under this load.
♦All tubes and plug connections, which had been re-
moved or disconnected for the test and adjustment,
must be re-inserted or connected.

02-9 Miscellaneous
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.
