Vehicle careWhen caring for your vehicle, observe all
national environmental regulations,
particularly when washing it.
Regular, thorough care helps to improve
the appearance of your vehicle and
maintain its value over the years. It is also
prerequisite for warranty claims for any
paint or corrosion damage. The following
pages contain tips for vehicle care which,
if used properly, will help combat the
unavoidable damaging effects of the
environment.

Self-help, vehicle care
Underbody
Some areas of the vehicle underbody have
a PVC undercoating while other critical
areas have a durable protective wax
coating.
After the underbody is washed, check the
underbody and have more protective wax
applied if necessary.
Bitumen/rubber materials could damage
the PVC coating. Have underbody work
carried out by a workshop.
Before and after winter, wash the
underbody and have the protective wax
coating checked. Natural gas system3
When cleaning the engine or underbody
with a steam jet or high pressure jet
cleaner, do not aim the jet at components
of the natural gas system. In particular, the
natural gas tanks and the pressure valves
at the vehicle underbody and bulkhead in
the engine compartment must be
protected from the pressurised spray.
In addition, these components must not be
treated with chemical cleaners or waxes.
Have natural gas system components
cleaned by a workshop that is authorised
to maintain natural gas vehicles.
Towing equipment
Do not clean the coupling ball bar with a
steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner.

Additional service workAdditional work ⊕
Additional work is work which is not
required for every service but can be
carried out along with a regular service.
Time allowances for such work are not
included within the scope of a regular
service and must be accounted for
separately. However, it is more cost
effective to carry out this work as part of a
planned service than to have it done
separately.
Extreme operating conditions o
Operating conditions are considered
extreme when one or more of the following
occur frequently:
zCold starts,
zStop-and-go,
zCaravan/trailer towing,
zDriving on inclines and/or in high
altitudes,
zPoor road conditions,
zSand and dust,
zExtreme temperature fluctuations.
Police vehicles, taxis and driving school
vehicles are also classified as operating
under extreme conditions.When operating conditions are extreme, it
may be necessary to have certain service
work carried out more frequently than the
planned service intervals.
We recommend obtaining technical advice
for the service requirements of your vehicle
based on the special conditions of use.
Recommended fluids and
lubricants Only use products which have been tested
and approved. Damage caused by using
non-approved operating materials is not
covered by the warranty.
9 Warning
Fuels are dangerous and require
appropriate care when handling. If
swallowed, immediately call a doctor.
Do not inhale fumes and avoid contact
with the skin. Keep out of the reach of
children. Fuels must not be allowed to
contaminate wastewater, groundwater
or soils. Dispose of empty containers
properly. Always keep in mind that fuels
are hazardous to health.

Technical data
Weights, payload and roof load The payload is the difference between the
permitted gross vehicle weight (see
identification plate 3182) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the kerb weight, enter the
data for your vehicle below:
is the EC kerb weight.
Optional equipment and accessories
increase the kerb weight, which means that
the payload will also change slightly.
Note the weights given in the vehicle
documents and the identification plate. The combined total of front and rear axle
loads must not exceed the permissible
gross vehicle weight. For example, if the
front axle is bearing its maximum
permissible load, the rear axle can only
bear a load that is equal to the gross
vehicle weight minus the front axle load.
The permissible axle loads must not be
exceeded.
See the identification plate or vehicle
documents for permissible axle loads.
Caravan/trailer towing 3126. Roof load
The permissible roof load is 100 kg. The
roof load consists of the weight of the roof
rack plus the load carried.
Driving hints 3106. Roof rack 3125.
