Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
insert it to the stop on the handle, pull
out and read the engine oil level.Caution
It is the owner's responsibility to
maintain the proper level of an
appropriate quality oil in the
engine.
When the engine oil level has
dropped to the MIN mark, top-up
engine oil.
Caution
Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the minimum level!
We recommend the use of the same
type of engine oil that was used at the
last change.
The engine oil level must not exceed the maximum mark MAX on the
dipstick.
Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out.
To prevent spillage when
replenishing the engine oil, we
recommend using a funnel. Ensure funnel is securely located onto the
filler pipe.
A stabilization of the engine oil
consumption will not take place until
the vehicle has been driven several
thousand miles. Only then can the
actual degree of consumption be
established.
If consumption exceeds more than
0.5 litres every 600 miles after this
running-in period, consult a
workshop.
Capacities 3 200, Engine oil level
monitor 3 76.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Vehicle care169
Position the adapter at the jacking
hole located nearest the wheel
concerned.
Ensure the jack is positioned
correctly. The jack head must be
level with the jacking hole. Pump
the jack by pressing the wheel
wrench, to position the base plate
correctly.
Raise the vehicle by pressing the
wheel wrench until the wheel is
clear of the ground.
4. Unscrew wheel bolts/nuts completely and wipe clean with a
cloth.
Put wheel bolts/nuts somewhere
where the threads will not be
soiled.
5. Change the wheel.
6. Screw in the wheel bolts/nuts. 7. Lower vehicle.
8. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and tighten
each wheel bolt/nut in a crosswise sequence. Tightening torque is:
172 Nm (Front-wheel drive),
235 Nm (Rear-wheel drive withtwin rear wheels), 264 Nm (Rear- wheel drive with single rear
wheels).
9. Refit wheel cover.
Notice
If applicable, fit anti-theft bolts
nearest the tyre valve (otherwise it
may not be possible to refit the wheel cover).
10. Stow the replaced wheel 3 169
and the vehicle tools 3 158.
11. Have the new wheel balanced on the vehicle. Check the tyre
pressure of the installed tyre
3 201 and also the wheel bolt/nut
torque as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed or
repaired.
Spare wheel
Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 164.
If mounting a spare wheel which is
different from the other wheels, this
wheel might be classified as atemporary spare wheel and the
corresponding speed limits apply,
even though no label indicates this.
Seek the assistance of a workshop to
check the applicable speed limit.Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in
combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the
defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
The spare wheel is held under the
vehicle frame using a winch and
secured by tightening a cable using
the wheel wrench and adapter.
It may be necessary to jack the
vehicle up to gain access to the spare
wheel on a fully loaded vehicle with a flat rear tyre.
