178Vehicle care
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 kilometres. Only then can
the actual degree of consumption be
established.
If consumption exceeds more than
0.6 litres every 1000 km after this
running-in period, consult a
workshop.
Capacities 3 245, Engine oil level
monitor 3 92.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Engine coolant The coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -28 °C.Caution
Only use approved antifreeze.

3. Vehicles with Front-wheel drive:If equipped, attached heightener
to lifting pad when changing a
front wheel.
Raise vehicle by placing lifting
pad spigot of the jack (vehicle
tools 3 198) under the jacking
hole located nearest the wheel
concerned.
Ensure the jack is positioned
correctly. The jack base must be
on the ground directly below the
jacking hole in a manner that
prevents it from slipping.
Attach wheel wrench onto the jack
and raise the vehicle (max. 3 cm)
by turning the wrench until the
wheel is clear of the ground.
Vehicles with Rear-wheel drive:
Pay attention to the operating
instructions supplied with the
hydraulic jack (vehicle tools
3 198) and assemble the parts
required as specified.
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/adapters, to position the
base plate correctly.
Raise the vehicle (max. 3 cm) 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 (depending on vehicle, attach
wheel wrench to adapters)
ensuring that it locates securely
and tighten each wheel bolt/nut in a crosswise sequence. Tighteningtorque is: 172 Nm (Front-wheel
drive), 235 Nm (Rear-wheel drive
with twin rear wheels), 264 Nm
(Rear-wheel drive with single rear
wheels).
9. Refit wheel cover. Rear-wheel drive, with twin rear
wheels: Install the tyre valve
extender to the inner rear wheel
before refitting the wheel cover.
