GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTES ON SELF-LOCKING NUTS AND BOLTS - AH00.00-N-0001-01A
All models
Important repair information
Bolts with locking splines, micro-encapsulated bolts and self-locking nuts must always be replaced after
being used once.
There is an increased risk of injury when unscrewing micro-encapsulated bolts due to the sudden breakaway
torque.
Before new micro-encapsulated bolts are screwed in, the mating thread must be re-cut in order to remove all the
residue of the old bolt locking compound.
MEASURES FOR PREVENTING DAMAGE TO VEHICLES OR COMPONENTS WHEN PERFORMING ARC WELDING
WORK - AH00.00-N-0005-01A
All models
The following measures must be taken before welding in order to prevent damage to various vehicle
components:
1 Have fire extinguishers at the ready.
2 The negative terminal of the battery must be disconnected and covered up.
3 In vehicle with airbags the red, 12-pin test connection/plug-in connection must be disconnected no
sooner than two seconds after the battery has been disconnected (risk of unwanted activation).
6 Attach protective shields to prevent flying sparks and radiated heat in endangered areas.
7 Do not touch electronics housings or electrical cables with the welding electrode or the welder's ground
connection.
8 If two parts are being welded together, both parts must be attached to the welder's negative clamp.
9 Make direct connection between the electrical welder's ground connection and the part being welded.
Ensure that there are no electrically insulating parts between the ground connection and the welding
point.
10 Protect or remove any parts that are sensitive to heat such as plastic cables.
11 Remove electrical cables that are laid in cavities and/or pipelines, covered containers and electrical
components from the danger area before welding.
12 If possible, the points where the welded part is being attached to the vehicle and the ground terminal is
attached to the electrical welder must be bare; remove all traces of paint, corrosion, oil, grease and

Warning threshold (in days)
With the HHT it is possible to set a warning threshold of between 5 and 30 days for the remaining time, with a
stepwidth of one day. The basic setting is 30 days.
Display of remaining time
The remaining time is always only displayed in those cases where the following condition is met:
Remaining time (in days) x 40 < remaining distance (in km), and the warning threshold is reached.
The remaining time is displayed in the following cases:
automatically, after 5 s start switch in position 2 or driving, if the warning threshold is reached:
The service symbol and the readout "SERVICE IN ... DAYS" appears for 10 seconds. (On vehicles not
fitted with multifunction display, the current remaining time, the service and the clock symbol appear.)
automatically, after 5 s start switch in position 2 or driving, if the remaining time is exceeded:
The service symbol and the readout "DAYS ... EXCEEDED" appears for 30 s (for 10 s up to mid-July
97). (On vehicles not fitted with multifunction display, the service and the clock symbol appear. The
"remaining time" is displayed with a negative sign (minus sign). The readout flashes in this case.)
After the display reaches the maximum readout of -730 days, the readout remains at this figure! The
readout is displayed with a resolution of 1 day.
As of approx. 06.97 a brief warning signal sounds in addition.
at driver request. The readout is then displayed, as above, for 10 s.
If a speed limit is set at the cruise control, this speed limit is displayed for a short moment before the
ASSYST display.
If certain measured values are not supplied to the ASSYST, e.g. because of failure of a sensor, it switches to
stored substitute values. An appropriate entry is then made in the fault memory of the particular control module.
If the power supply fails, the data are retained. The times without operating voltage (battery disconnected) are
not recorded, however! They can be retroactively included, however, with the HHT.

Restrain long hair by wearing an appropriate head cover.
Operate roller dynamometers only within the prescribed capacity limits.
Ensure that all persons remain outside of the hazard zone of rotating wheels, shafts and dynamometer
rollers when the dynamometer is in or ready for operation.
During testing, the driver's seat may only be vacated in case of emergency.
When not in use, protect roller dynamometers from unauthorized use by locking the main switch.
If the roller dynamometer used has an integrated workpit, the pit must be sealed off after use.
RISK OF DEATH CAUSED BY CONTACT WITH PARTS CONDUCTING HIGH VOLTAGES. - AS00.00-Z-0020-01A
Do not touch parts which conduct high voltages. Persons who wear electronic implants (e.g. heart
pacemakers) must not perform any work on such components.
Risk of death caused by electric shock
Electric shocks can cause fibrillation of the heart or even cardiac arrest. The effects of an electric shock may
sometimes first appear after several minutes have gone by; for this reason always seek medical attention.
Safety instructions/precautions
Persons who wear electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers) must not carry out any work on such
components.
Do not touch parts which conduct high voltages.
When working on such components, for example:
connecting and disconnecting electrical components
replacing parts
connecting test equipment
it is first of all necessary to disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
RISK OF DEATH CAUSED BY COMING INTO CONTACT WITH COMPONENTS OF A 220 V SYSTEM - AS00.00-Z-0021-
01A
Do not touch voltage conducting parts in of a 220 V system
Risk of death caused by electric shock
Risk of death caused by coming into contact with electrical parts of the 220 V system. Electric shocks can cause
fibrillation of the heart or even cardiac arrest. It may also take several minutes for the consequences of an
electric shock to show themselves; for this reason
always contact a doctor.
Risk of injury caused by burns
