16In briefTransmission
Manual transmission
Reverse: with the vehicle stationary,
wait 3 seconds after depressing
clutch pedal and engage the gear.
If the gear does not engage, set the
lever to neutral, release the clutch
pedal and depress again; then repeat
gear selection.
Manual transmission 3 134.
Automatic transmissionP=parkR=reverseN=neutralD=drive
Manual mode: move selector lever
from D to the left.
<=higher gear]=lower gear
The selector lever can only be moved
out of P when the ignition is on and
the foot brake is applied. To engage
P or R, push the release button.
Automatic transmission 3 130.
Starting off
Check before starting off ■ Tyre pressure and condition 3 178,
3 210.
■ Engine oil level and fluid levels 3 154.
■ All windows, mirrors, exterior lighting and number plates are free
from dirt, snow and ice and are
operational.
■ Proper position of mirrors, seats, and seat belts 3 28, 3 35,
3 42.
■ Brake function at low speed, particularly if the brakes are wet.

Instruments and controls89Tyre pressure monitoring
system
w illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates Tyre pressure loss. Stop immediately
and check tyre pressure.
A corresponding message also
appears on the Info-Display 3 92.
Flashes Fault in system or tyre without
pressure sensor mounted ( e.g. spare
wheel). After approx. one minute the
control indicator illuminates
continuously. A corresponding
message also appears on the Info-
Display.
Consult a workshop.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
3 178.
Engine oil pressure
I illuminates red.Illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and extinguishes shortly
after the engine starts. If it does not
illuminate, seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Illuminates when the engine is runningCaution
Engine lubrication may be
interrupted. This may result in
damage to the engine and/or
locking of the drive wheels.
1. Depress clutch.
2. Select neutral gear, set selector lever to N.
3. Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles.
4. Switch off ignition.
9 Warning
When the engine is off,
considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer. During an
Autostop the brake servo unit will still be operational.
Do not remove key until vehicle is stationary, otherwise the steeringwheel lock could engage
unexpectedly.
Check oil level before seeking the
assistance of a workshop 3 154.
Change engine oil
C illuminates yellow.
When the engine is started, C
illuminates briefly. If it does not
illuminate, seek the assistance of a
workshop.
The engine oil life monitor lets you know when to change the oil. Control
indicator C illuminates to indicate
that engine oil life has been
diminished and the oil needs
changing.

136Driving and operating
operations for wading , involving
checks for water contamination, at
the earliest opportunity.
Service checks after wading
Check for the ingress of water into the following:
■ Brake fluid reservoir
■ Air cleaner element
■ Engine
■ Transmission
■ Axles
■ Interior of vehicle
Renew any lubricating oil or hydraulic
fluid that has a milky appearance,
indicating contamination with water.
Cleaning
Clean the vehicle thoroughly and as
soon as possible after driving off-
road.
Do not let mud remain dry on any part
of the vehicle as it becomes abrasive and can damage paint, glass, seals,
bearings and brake components. If
left to build up, mud can seriously
affect the airflow through and overmechanical components and cause
localised overheating and failure of
parts, especially in the engine
compartment.
Ensure the radiator core and the area
between 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 underguard
Observe 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 cleared of
stones, to prevent damage to the
engine oil pan and the fuel tank

Vehicle care155
Insert dipstick to the stop on the
handle and make half a turn.
Different dipsticks are used
depending on engine variant.
When the engine oil level has
dropped to the MIN mark, top up
engine oil.
We 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 3 209, Engine oil quality/
viscosity 3 198.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Control indicators for engine oil
pressure I 3 89, engine oil life C
3 89, and low engine oil S 3 90.
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.

188Vehicle care
5. Attach wheel wrench to eye ofthreaded rod and rotate wrench
clockwise to raise vehicle.
If 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 3 189.
8. Screw on the wheel nuts and
tighten slightly by hand by turning
clockwise 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 3 189
and the vehicle tools 3 175.
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.
