Inspecting thickness of front and rear
brake pads/linings
Front disc brake pads:
For a better assessment of the residual pad thickness re-
move wheels. Do not mix up wheels (mark).
–Release the wheel bolts and remove wheel.
-a- - the wear limit is reached at a pad thickness of 7 mm,
including the base plate.
If the thickness of the pad is less than 7 mm including
base plate, always replace the brake pads on both sides
(repair measure)
–Fit on wheels in the marked position and tighten the
wheel bolts to 120 Nm.
After replacing the brake pads depress brake pedal firmly
several times when the vehicle is stationary to ensure the
brake pads are properly seated in their normal operating
position.

–Repeat the procedure for all wheels in the following
sequence: rear left, front right and front left.
1)
–Insert strainer in the brake fluid reservoir and fill with
brake fluid up to the specified level.
–Inspect pedal position and idle travel at brake pedal.
Idle travel: max. 1/3 of pedal travel.
Vehicles with ABS or ABS/EDL:
A road test on such models must be carried out after
bleeding the brake system. While doing so perform at
least one ABS adjustment!
Inspecting the brake fluid level
Use only fresh genuine brake fluid FMVSS 571.116 DOT
4.
The brake fluid must not be above the „MAX“ marking to
prevent fluid flowing out of the reservoir.
Delivery Inspection
The brake fluid level during the delivery inspection should
be at the „MAX“ marking.
Inspection Service:
–The brake fluid level (volume) must always be as-
sessed on the basis of the brake pad wear. When driv-
ing a slight drop in the brake fluid level occurs as a
result of wear-and-tear and the automatic slack ad-
justment of the brake pads.
–If the fluid brake level is on the „MIN“ marking or slight-
ly above, it is not necessary to top up the brake fluid if
the brake pads have practically reached their wear
limit.
–If the brake pads are new or far off the brake wear lim-
it, the brake fluid level must be between the „MIN“ and
„MAX“ markings.
–If the brake fluid level has dropped below the „MIN“
marking, it is necessary to inspect the brake system
before topping up the brake fluid ⇒02-5 page 2; car-
ry out repair measure if necessary.
1)for right-hand drive vehicles the following sequence applies: rear right, front left and front right
WARNING!
Brake fluid is toxic. Because of its caustic effect
brake fluid must not come into contact with
paint.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs mois-
ture from the surrounding air . Therefore it
should always be stored in airtight containers.

Track rod ends: Inspect play, correct at-
tachment and joint boots
–Raise vehicle (wheel clear of the ground) and inspect
play by moving the track rods and wheels. Clearance:
There must not be any play present.
–Inspect attachment.
–Inspect seals for damage and correct installation.
Inspecting tyres (including spare wheel)
Only tyres of the same type may be fitted to the vehicle.
Tyres of the same brand and tread pattern must always
be fitted to wheels on the same axle!
Delivery Inspection:
–Inspect the tyre tread and side wall for damage, if nec-
essary remove any foreign bodies from the tyres, such
as nails or glass splinters.
Inspection Service:
–Inspect the tyre tread and side wall for damage, if nec-
essary remove any foreign bodies from the tyres, such
as nails or glass splinters.
–Inspect tyres for scrubbing, tread worn down on one
side, porous side walls, cuts and punctures. Any de-
fects found must be advised to the customer and the
customer's attention must be drawn to any necessary
repair measures!
Inspecting tyre wear
–The wear pattern on the front tyres makes it possible
to assess whether it is necessary to inspect the wheel
toe and camber:
♦The formation of ridges on the tyre tread is an indica-
tion of wheel toe errors.
♦Tread worn on one side is usually attributable to cam-
ber errors.
–If such signs of wear are found, determine the cause
by checking the chassis alignment (repair measure).
Note
WARNING!
Tyres that are more than 6 years old must only be
used in case of emergency and while driving very
carefully.

Inspecting the tyre tread depth (includ-
ing spare wheel) and entering
This value may differ in individual countries as a result of
differing statutory requirements.
If the tyre tread depth is close to the legal minimum, in
other words if no further tread exists at the points around
the circumference of the tyre at which the 1.6 mm high
wear indicators are positioned, the customer should be
informed of the necessary repair measures.
Tightening wheel bolts to specific torque
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Torque wrench
Tightening torque for steel and light alloy wheels 120 Nm.
Inspecting the tyre inflation pressure (in-
cluding spare wheel) and correcting the
tyre inflation pressure if necessary
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Tyre inflation pressure tester
♦The tyre inflation pressures are indicated on a stick-
er,which is affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap.
♦The tyre inflation pressures indicated on the sticker
apply only to the tyres when cold. Do not reduce the
higher inflation pressure of warm tyres.
♦If winter tyres are fitted, the relevant tyre inflation pres-
sure should be increased by 0.2 bar/20 kPa.
Tyre inflation pressure table
The instructions in the Workshop Repairs Manual always
have priority over those for the vehicle.

Test and setting conditions
•Tyre inflation pressure O.K.
•Lenses must neither be damaged nor soiled.
•Reflectors and bulbs O.K.
•Vehicle load must be achieved.
Load: With an individual or 75 kg on the driver's seat in an
otherwise unladen vehicle (dead weight).
The unladen weight is the weight of the vehicle with full
fuel tank (at least 90 %) including the weight of all the op-
erational equipment elements (e.g. spare wheel, tool kit,
jack etc.).
The vehicle must have rolled a few metres or have been
depressed a few times at the front and rear to allow the
springs to settle.
•Both the vehicel and headlight beam setting device
must be on a level flat surface.
•Align the vehicle and headlight beam setting device in
accordance with the device manufaturer's indications.
•Check the control system of vehicles equipped with
headlight beam control by repeatedly turning the
thumbwheel in the dash panel. Then turn the thum-
bwheel to basic position.
•Set the inclination value.
Inclination value:
The inclination value is marked in „%“ at the top of the
headlight housing. The main headlights must be set to
this value. The percentage value applies up to 10 metres
projection distance. This will be 12 cm for an inclination
value of e.g. 1.2 %.
Inspecting headlight beam setting and adjusting
if necessary
Main headlights:
–Check whether the horizontal light/dark limit touches
the separation mark -1- on the test surface when the
low beam light is on .
–Check whether the kink -2- between the left horizontal
part and the ascending right part of the light/dark limit
intersects with the central mark -3- on the vertical line.
The light core of the light beam must be located to the
right of the vertical line.132
