illumination
Have bulbs replaced by a workshop.Electrical system
Fuses Data on the replacement fuse mustmatch the data on the defective fuse.
There are two fuse boxes in the
vehicle:
■ on the left-hand side of the instrument panel, behind the trim
panel.
■ in the engine compartment located below the coolant expansion tank.
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the ignition.
A blown fuse can be recognised by its melted wire. Do not replace the fuse
until the cause of the fault has been
remedied.
It is advisable to carry a full set of
fuses. Consult a workshop.
Some functions are protected by
several fuses.
Fuses may also be inserted without
existence of a function.
Notice
Not all fuse box descriptions in this
manual may apply to your vehicle.
When inspecting the fuse box, refer to the fuse box label.

Fuse extractor
To help in replacing fuses, a fuse
extractor is located in the instrument
panel fuse box.
Place the fuse extractor on the
various types of fuse from the top or
side, and withdraw fuse.
Engine compartment fusebox
Located below the coolant expansion tank.
Some circuits may be protected by
several fuses.
Due to restricted accessibility, have
fuses replaced by a workshop.SymbolCircuitSRight side lightsTLeft side lightsWRight low beamaLeft low beam>Front fog lightLLeft high beamNRight high beamuABSKWindscreen wipernHeating and ventilation

180Service and maintenance
Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.
Engine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade
depending on the minimum ambient
temperature 3 184.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only silicate-free long life coolant
(LLC) antifreeze approved for the
vehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C.
This concentration should be
maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that
intend to give additional corrosion
protection or seal against minor leaks
can cause function problems. Liability
for consequences resulting from the
use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.
Brake fluid Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified interval.
