and topping up fluids
- Switch off the warm engine. Wait for a few mi
nutes for the oil to drain back into the sump.
- Open the bonnet ¢page 245.
- Pull out the oil dipstick ¢page 246, Fig. 214,
wipe it with a clean cloth and insert it again,
pushing it in as far as it will go.
- Then pull the dipstick out again and check the
oil level ¢table on page 248.
- If the oil level is too low, add more engine oil.
Markings on oil dipstick ¢ Fig. 215
@ When
the oil Level is near the marking @
you must top up the engine oil. Please refer
to ¢ 0.
@ Do NOT add engine oil.
®
@ Do
NOT add engine oil.
Drive to a qualified workshop without delay
and have the engine oil changed ¢0.
Topping up the engine oil
- Unscrew the cap "E::71 ¢Fig. 216from the oil fill
er opening ¢ page 246, Fig. 214.
- Carefully add 0.5 litres of suitable engine oil
¢page 247.
-After two minutes check the oil level once
again.
- If the oil level is too low, add a smaller quantity
of engine oil. The level must always be below
the marking @¢Fig. 215 ¢0.
- Screw the oil filler cap "E::71 back on and push
the dipstick all the way in.
A WARNING
- Ensure that no engine oil comes into contact
with hot engine components when topping
up: this could cause a fire.
- The oil filler cap must be properly closed to
prevent oil from squirting onto the hot en
gine or exhaust system while the engine is
running -risk of fire!
- Wash your skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oil.
248 CD
CAUTION
- The engine oil must never drop below the
marking (!)¢ Fig. 215 -risk of engine dam
age!
- When topping up the engine oil, make sure
that the oil level is not above the marking
@ ¢Fig. 215, as this may result in damage
to the catalytic converter or to the engine.
Do NOT start the engine. Contact a qualified
workshop to extract the engine oil if neces
sary.
- Applies to vehicles which have an oil dip
stick with area® ¢Fig. 215: If you run your
vehicle on diesel fuel of poorer quality than
EN 590 standard fuel, the fuel can get into
the engine oil. In this case, the oil Level
gradually rises and the quality of the engine
oil decreases. Once the oil level has reached
the marking @or the indicator lamp II
has come on, the engine oil level must not
be corrected by extracting the surplus oil -
risk of engine damage! The engine oil must
be changed ¢ page 18.
- No additives should be used with engine oil.
Any damage caused by the use of such addi
tives would not be covered by the factory
warranty.
® For the sake of the environment
- Never pour engine oil down drains or into
the ground.
-Always observe statutory requirements
when disposing of empty oil canisters.
@ Note
Depending on how you drive and the condi
tions in which the car is used, oil consumption
can be up to 0.5 Ltr./1000 km. Oil consump
tion on RS models can be up to 0.8 ltr./1,000
km. Oil consumption is likely to be higher for
the first 5,000 km. For this reason the engine
oil level must be checked at regular intervals,
preferably when filling the tank and before a
journey.

CX) Explanation
of warnings on vehicle battery:
® Wear safety
glasses!
A Battery
acid is extremely corrosive. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses.
@ Keep
open flames, sparks, uncovered
Lights and Lit cigarettes away from the
battery!
� A
highly explosive mixture of gases may
be given off when the battery is under
charge!
® Keep children
away from batteries and
battery acid.
.&_ WARNING
Any work on the batteries and electrical sys
tem in your vehicle entails a risk of injury and
chemical burns in addition to danger of acci
dent or fire. For this reason, you must have
the work carried out by a qualified workshop.
CD CAUTION
If the car is left standing for Long periods,
protect the battery from frost. The battery
will be damaged irreparably if it is allowed to
freeze <=> page 2 51.
@ For the sake of the environment
'8 Batteries contain toxic substances including
sulphuric acid and Lead. Please contact a
qualified workshop if you have any questions.
Vehicle battery
The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using. This Limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
Long period <=> page 118. Certain convenience fea
tures, such as interior Lighting or electric seat ad
justment, may not be available. These functions Checking
and topping up fluids
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine.
Even though some systems are deactivated auto
matically, certain electrical equipment continues
to draw current even when the ignition is off. If
the vehicle is Left standing for Long periods, this
can result in total battery discharge. If the vehi
cle battery is allowed to discharge completely, an
internal chemical reaction damages the battery
irreparably. To avoid this, the vehicle battery
should be recharged at Least once a month
<=> page 251. Please contact a qualified workshop
if you have any questions.
Winter conditions
Cold weather is very hard on the vehicle battery.
The starting capacity may be reduced as a result.
For this reason, you should have the vehicle bat
tery checked by a qualified workshop before the
start of winter.
Charging the vehicle battery
Fig. 219 Engine compartment: Terminals for jump leads
and battery charger
Important: Only use chargers with a maximum
charge voltage of 14.8 V (the battery cables do
not have to be disconnected).
� Note the warnings c:> A in General warnings
for batteries on page 251 and<=> A_ .
� Switch
off all electrical equipment and the igni
tion.
� Open the bonnet<=> page 245.
� Open the red cap on the positive terminal
<=>Fig. 219.
� Connect the charger cables to the jump-start
terminals as specified <=> Fig. 219.
