Information regarding the use of vehicles under
„severe conditions“:
–The service advisor should always point out to the
customer that the inspection intervals are based on
normal operating conditions.
–Under „severe conditions“ the inspection intervals
must be shortened.
„Severe conditions“ exist, for instance, if the vehicle is op-
erated continuously in one or several of the conditions
stated below:
♦Towing a trailer or when fitted with a roof rack.
♦Operated on dusty, poor, muddy roads or roads treat-

♦Changing the engine oil before the normal specified
interval.
♦Cleaning or replacing the air filter element in the air fil-

terference, also inspect speakers ⇒02-6 page 2.
Battery: Testing no-load voltage
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Multimeter (e.g. -V.A.G 1526 A-)
Prior to the measurement the vehicle must have been in
the no-load state for at least two hours (no engine starts,
no charging or discharging of battery).
The following procedure applies to measuring the battery
voltage in the no-load state (after at least two hours):
–With the battery installed measure the voltage be-
tween the terminals (ignition switched off).
