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.

♦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.

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

02-8 Exhaust-emission Analy-
sis
The exhaust-emission analysis must be carried out ac-
cording to the relevant national legislation of the particu-
lar country.
Exhaust-Emission Analysis on Models
with Fuel Engines
Perform the following visual inspections and comply with
the setting conditions below before performing the ex-
haust-emission analysis:
Visual inspection
♦Lambda probes are connected
♦All vacuum hoses are connected
♦All wires of the activated charcoal filter system are
connected
♦All the electrical wires of the ignition and injection sys-
tem are connected
♦Hose for crankcase ventilation is connected
♦The exhaust system must be undamaged and tight
♦Catalyst must be undamaged
Test and setting conditions
•Perfect operation of the engine
•Perfect operation of the ignition system
•Intake system tight
•All electrical components are switched off (radiator fan
must not run during the test)
♦If any errors are noticed they must be repaired.
♦The idling speed, ignition point and CO content are
only measured as they cannot be adjusted.
♦The CO content is set to nominal value by the lambda
control. Faults in the lambda control are detected by
the self-diagnosis and stored in the fault memory.
♦When interrogating the fault memory (engine electron-
ics) all detected faults must be repaired and the fault
memory must be erased.
♦To prevent injury to persons and/or damage to the ig-
nition and injection system make sure the ignition is
switched off when disconnecting and connecting the
wires of the ignition system.
Connect the test equipment to the vehicle
To prevent industrial accidents or avoid causing damage
to the ignition system, pay attention to the following:

♦Disconnect and connect wires of the ignition system
(including high-voltage wires) when the ignition is
switched off.
–Connect the tester in compliance with the operating
instructions.
The exhaust gas probe must be fully inserted into the ex-
haust tailpipe (do not insert into the suction tube)!
–Start engine and run in idle.
–Measure idle speed and CO content.

All tubes and plug connections, which had been removed
or disconnected for the test and adjustment, must be re-
inserted or connected.
Technical data of the spark plugs Chapter 02-3.
Exhaust-Emission Analysis on Models
with Diesel Engines
♦When possible the test should be carried out immedi-
ately after the road test and also outdoors. If specific
reasons prevent this (weather conditions, excessive
noise in residential areas) the test may also be per-
formed in the workshop.
♦Secure the engine bonnet in the first stop while meas-
uring to reduce the noise.
Visual inspection
♦Hose for crankcase ventilation is connected
♦Fuel system and injection pump must be tight
♦The exhaust system must be undamaged and tight
♦All vacuum hoses are connected
Test and setting conditions
•Engine oil temperature at least 80 °C
•All electrical components disconnected
•No fault stored in the fault memory ⇒Chapter 02-6,
connect vehicle system tester and interrogate fault
memory
Correct detected faults before measuring (repair meas-
ure).
Connect the test equipment
–Connect the tester in compliance with the operating
instructions.
–Start engine, warm up to normal temperature and run
in idle.
–Perform the exhaust-emission analysis.
♦Activate and inspect auxiliary equipment such as e.g.
power steering, automatic gearbox or air conditioning
system. Check whether the engine continues to run
perfectly under this load.
♦All tubes and plug connections, which had been re-
moved or disconnected for the test and adjustment,
must be re-inserted or connected.
