Because of the disposal problems, the special tools necessary and the
specialist knowledge required, brake fluid should preferably be changed at
a Technical Service Centre.
It is advisable to have the fluid change done during an Inspection
Service.

Do not disconnect the vehicle battery when the ignition is on or when the
engine is running, as the electrical system (electronic components) could
otherwise be damaged.
In order to protect the casing from UV radiation, do not expose vehicle
battery to direct sunlight.
K
Location
The battery is in the engine compartment.
To start with the help of another battery
⇒"Emergency starting"
chapter.
K
Checking acid level
Please refer to the warning notes in the chapter "Engine
compartment" before starting any type of work on the engine or
the engine compartment.
The acid/electrolyte level should be checked regularly in the
following cases:
– high mileage
– in countries with a warm climate
– old battery
The battery is otherwise service-free.
The acid level should always be around the
m ma
ax
x.
.mark on the
longside of the battery. It should never be filled above the
m ma
ax
x.
.
mark nor be allowed to drop below the m
mi
in
n.
.mark.
We recommend that the electrolyte level be checked and corrected
by a Technical Service Centre.

A round viewing window is located on the upper side of the battery
⇒arrow, fig. 124. This magic eye will change its color according to
the charge condition or the acid level of the battery.
Air bubbles can distort the true color. You should, therefore, tap
carefully on the magic eye.
If the display in the viewing window has no color or is light yellow,
the acid level in the battery is too low. Distilled water must be
added. We recommend that the battery be replaced if it is older
than 5 years.
We recommend that the electrolyte level be checked and corrected
by a Technical Service Centre.

Please note regulations to this effect in your country.
• All-weather tyres can also be used instead of winter tyres.
• If you have a flat tyre the remarks on using the spare wheel on
page 174 should be noted.
• Do not leave winter tyres fitted for an unnecessary long period
because when the roads are free of snow and ice the handling with
summer tyres is better.

For environmental reasons summer tyres should be fitted again as soon as
possible because normally they are quieter in running, tyre wear is reduced
and the fuel consumption is lower.
K
Snow chains
Snow chains can only be fitted on the front wheels.
The use of snow chains is permitted on 155/80 R 13, 165/70 R 14
and 185/60 R 14 tires.

When using snow chains wheel rim plates and rim rings must be
taken off. In this case, to protect the wheel, the bolts must then be
fitted with caps which are available from Technical Service Centres.When driving over roadswhich are free of snow you must remove
the chains. On such roadsthey are detrimental to vehicle handling,
damage the tyres and wear out quickly.
In some countries the maximum permissible speed with snow
chains is 50 km/h.

Preparation work
– In case of a flat tyre or puncture, park the vehicle as far as
possible away from the traffic flow. If necessary, switch hazard
warning lights on and place the warning triangle in position – note
any statutory requirements.
– All vehicle occupants should leave the vehicle and move to a
safe area (e.g. behind safety barrier).
– Apply handbrake firmly, engage a gear or place the gear selector
in position “P” and chock the opposite wheel with a stone or
similar.
– When towing a trailer, the trailer must first be disengaged from
the towing vehicle before the wheel is changed.
– Take tools and spare wheel out of luggage compartment.
