156 Vehicle Care
General Information
Accessories and
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.
. Fill up fuel tank completely.
. 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 or
reverse gear. Prevent the
vehicle from rolling.
. Do not apply the parking brake. .
Open the bonnet, close all doors
and lock the vehicle.
. Disconnect the clamp from the
negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Beware that all systems
are not functional, e.g. anti-theft
alarm system.
Putting back into operation
When the vehicle is to be put back
into operation :
.Connect the clamp to the
negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Activate the electronics
of the power windows.
. Check tyre pressure.
. Fill up the washer fluid reservoir.
. Check the engine oil level.
. Check the coolant level.
. Fit the number plate if
necessary.

196 Service and Maintenance
Use of engine oil with only ACEA
A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is
prohibited, since it can cause
longterm engine damage under
certain operating conditions.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
0
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants0195.
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.
Multi-grade 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
0
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants
0195.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only organic acid type-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 frost
protection down to approx. -36 °C.
In northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled
coolant provides frost protection
down to approx. -50 °C. This
concentration should be maintained
all year round. The use of additional
coolant additives intended 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 and clutch fluid
Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid
should therefore be replaced at the
specified interval.
