To close, lift bonnet slightly, release
the support rod from the hole and
press it back into its retaining clip.
Lower the bonnet gradually, allowing
it to drop from a height of approx.
30 cm.
Check that the bonnet is locked in
position before driving, by pulling at
its front edge. If it is not engaged,
repeat closing procedure.
Engine oil
Information on engine oil is in the
chapter “Service and maintenance”
311-6.
We recommend the engine oil level is
checked before starting a long trip.
The engine oil level must be checked
with the vehicle horizontal and with
the engine (which must be at
operating temperature) switched off.
Wait a few minutes before checking
the level to allow the normal oil
accumulation in the engine to drain
back into the oil pan.
Pull out dipstick from the tube, wipe it
clean and re-insert it as far as it will
go. After pulling the dipstick out again, check the engine oil level,
ensuring it is between the lower and
upper (MIN and MAX) marks.
The illustrations show checking the
engine oil in the K 10 B and K 12 B
petrol engines and the diesel engines
respectively.
Top up if the engine oil level has
dropped to the "add oil" lower mark
(MIN mark).

Tyre designations
Meanings:
e.g. 185/60 R 15 84 T
Speed code letters:
Tyre pressure
Tyre pressures 3 12-8.
Also may be shown on a label located
on the driver’s door pillar.After having checked the tyre
pressures, securely tighten the valve
caps.
The specified tyre pressures are valid
for cold tyres. The increased tyre
pressure resulting from extensive
driving must not be reduced. The tyre
pressures specified apply to both
summer and winter tyres.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear. 185= Tyre width in mm
60= Aspect ratio
(tyre height to tyre width
in %)
R= Belt type: Radial
15= Rim diameter in inches
84= Load index
e.g.: 84 represents 500 kg
T= Speed code
Q= Up to 160 km/h (100 mph)
S= Up to 180 km/h (112 mph)
T= Up to 190 km/h (118 mph)
H= Up to 210 km/h (130 mph)
V= Up to 240 km/h (150 mph)
W= Up to 270 km/h (168 mph)

4. Attach the jack handle to the
wheel bolt wrench (as shown in
illustration) and insert hook end
of jack handle through jack eye.
Before positioning the jack, set it
to the necessary height by
rotating the jack handle
clockwise using the attached
wheel bolt wrench.5. Position jack at the front or rear
jacking point located nearest to
the wheel concerned so that the
jack claw spans the vertical
base. Make sure it is properly
positioned, ensuring the jacking
bar fits securely into the jack
head groove.
The jack base must be on the
ground directly below the jacking
point in a manner that prevents it
from slipping.6. Rotate jack handle clockwise
using the attached wheel bolt
wrench to raise vehicle.
Raise the vehicle until the wheel
is just clear of the ground.
7. Unscrew wheel bolts completely
by turning anti-clockwise and
wipe clean with a cloth.
Put wheel bolts somewhere
where the threads will not be
soiled.
