Notes 
• Other model versions
 and
 optional
 ex
 tras
 -
 e.g.
 air
 conditioner, automatic gearbox, sliding
 roof,
 towing bracket
 etc. and 
service
 installation
 of
 accessories
 in
creases
 the unladen weight and the payload 
 has
 to be
 reduced
 by
 this amount. 
•
 The
 load must
 be
 stowed
 so
 that
 it
 can
 not slide about
 or fly
 forward when
 the 
brakes
 are
 applied.
 If
 necessary
 use the 
lashing eyes provided.  • When carrying heavy loads,
 the
 load 
should,
 in
 the
 interests
 of
 good handling,
 be 
placed,
 where possible, between
 the
 axles. 
The permissible axle
 and
 gross vehicle  weights must
 not be
 exceeded
 on any
 ac
count. Bear
 in
 mind also
 that
 the
 load will 
alter
 the
 vehicle handling. Driving style
 and 
speed
 must therefore
 be
 adapted
 to
 suit.  Without driver 
Use
 only
 the
 roof load carrying system
 ap
proved
 by us.
 Distribute load evenly.
 Do not 
exceed
 permissible roof load including roof  rack
 - and
 permissible vehicle weight.
 For 
further
 details see page
 75 
On
 vehicles
 with
 a
 pop-up roof
 the
 unladen 
weight
 is
 increased
 by 60 kg
 and which corre
spondingly reduces
 the
 payload.

ROUTINE
 CHECKS
 WHEN
 FILLING
 THE TANKS 
n order to ensure
 that
 your vehicle remains ready for the road at all 
times between Inspections you should carry out a few checks reg-
 jlarly
 - preferably when filling the tank. 
 Attention 
Take
 particular
 care
 when
 working
 in the
 engine 
 compartment
 - see
 page
 95. 
We
 have listed the most important points to be checked here. How 
to open the bonnet is explained on page 94.  1 -
 Coolant
 reservoir
 (expansion
 tank) 
Attention 
Do not
 open
 expansion
 tank
 when
 engine
 is hot -
danger
 of scalding! 
If the level is below the min. mark, top it up
 with
 coolant additive G  11 V 8 B and water - see page 101. When unavoidable plain water 
can
 be used temporarily. 
2 -
 Brake
 fluid
 reservoir 
The fluid level must always be between the min. and max. marks 
-see
 page 104. 
3 - Engine oil
 level 
Every
 engine
 uses
 a certain amount of oil. If the level is too low it 
can
 lead to serious engine damage. For this reason the level must  be checked regularly - see page 97. 
4- Engine oil
 filler
 opening 
The approved types of oil are given on page 96. 
5 -
 Windscreen
 washer
 container 
Always
 fill
 with
 water and a glass cleaner. Think about frost precau
tions in winter. 
6 -
 Tyre
 inflation
 pressures 
Check
 the pressures at least once a month. The pressures are given 
on page 147 and on a sticker on the driver's door lock pillar. For 
further
 information, see page 110.
