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.
