Accessories and vehicle
modifications
We recommend the use of genuine parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for your
vehicle type. We cannot assess or
guarantee reliability of other products
- even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Do not make any modifications to the electrical system, e.g. changes of
electronic control units (chip tuning).Caution
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.
Vehicle storage
Storage for a long period of time
If the vehicle is to be stored for several months:
■ Wash and wax the vehicle.
■ Have the wax in the engine compartment and underbody
checked.
■ Clean and preserve the rubber seals.
■ Change the engine oil.
■ Drain the washer fluid reservoir.
■ Check the coolant antifreeze and corrosion protection.
■ Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load.
■ Park the vehicle in a dry, well ventilated place. Engage first orreverse gear or move selector lever
to P. Prevent the vehicle from
rolling.
■ Do not apply the electrical parking brake.

Vehicle care159
Warning label
Meaning of symbols:■ No sparks, naked flames or smoking.
■ Always shield eyes. Explosive gases can cause blindness or
injury.
■ Keep the vehicle battery out of reach of children.
■ The vehicle battery contains sulfuric acid which could cause
blindness or serious burn injuries.
■ See the Owner's Manual for further
information.
■ Explosive gas may be present in the vicinity of the vehicle battery.
Diesel fuel filter
Drain diesel fuel filter of residual
water at every engine oil change.
Place a container underneath the
filter housing. Turn drain plug
anticlockwise using a suitable
screwdriver, to drain off the water.
The filter is drained as soon as diesel fuel emerges from the port. Retighten
the drain plug by turning it clockwise.
With engine switched off, turn ignition
key to ON, wait approx. 5 seconds,
and turn key to LOCK to perform
priming operation. Perform this
operation 3 times or more while the
engine is switched off, to avoid air
entering the fuel line.
Check diesel fuel filter at shorter
intervals if the vehicle is subjected to
extreme operating conditions.
If there is water in the diesel fuel filter, control indicator U illuminates in the
instrument cluster 3 90. Drain the
water immediately.
Diesel fuel system
bleeding
If the fuel tank has been run dry, the
diesel fuel system must be bled.
Switch on the ignition three times for
15 seconds at a time. Then crank the
engine for a maximum of
40 seconds. If the engine will not start, wait at least 10 seconds before trying
again. If the engine fails to start, seek
the assistance of a workshop.

178Vehicle care
If the tyre pressure is to be reduced orincreased, switch off the ignition. Tyre
pressures 3 176, 3 207.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the tyre pressure
monitoring system.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
valve cores and sealing rings must be
replaced each time the tyres are
changed.
Temperature compensation
Tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase.
The tyre pressure value shown in the
display is the actual tyre pressure.
Therefore it is important to check tyre pressure with cold tyres.
Tread depth
Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).For safety reasons it is recommended that the tread depth of the tyres on
one axle should not vary by more than
2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and
rear wheels. Ensure that the direction
of rotation of the wheels is the same
as before.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the
speedometer as well as the nominal tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels
may lead to accidents and will
invalidate the vehicle type
approval.
If wheel rims of a different type are to
be installed, the wheel nuts may also
need to be changed. We recommend you consult your service partner.
