Vehicle care169Caution
Do not allow the engine oil level todrop below the minimum level!
We recommend the use of the same
grade of engine oil that was used at
the last change.
Between the MIN and MAX marks a
volume of approx. 2.1 l for engines R9M 408, R9M 413 and R9M 415
respectively approx. 3.5 l for engines
R9M 450 and R9M 452 can be filled
in.
The engine oil level must not exceed the maximum mark MAX on the
dipstick.Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out. If the oil exceeds the maximum level, do
not start the vehicle and contact a
workshop.
To prevent spillage when
replenishing the engine oil, we
recommend using a funnel to top-up the engine oil. Ensure funnel is
securely located onto the filler pipe.
After topping-up, put the funnel into a
plastic bag and stow it securely.
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 l every 1000 km after this running-
in period, consult a workshop.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Engine air filter
Engine air flow indicator
On certain models, an indicator is
located in the engine induction
system and indicates if the air-intake
to the engine is restricted.
Clear:No restrictionRed tell-tale:Restricted
If the red tell-tale is displayed when
the engine is running, consult a
workshop.
174Vehicle caredisconnecting the main vehicle
battery or before jump starting the vehicle.
The terminals are designed for
additional electrical consumers up to a maximum of 50 A.
Jump starting 3 198.
Diesel fuel filter The diesel fuel filter is accessible from
the underside of the vehicle.
Drain filter of residual water at every
engine oil change.
Place a container underneath the
filter housing. Loosen the knurled
screw on the lower part of the filter by approx. one turn, to drain off the
water.
The filter is drained as soon as water-
free diesel fuel emerges. Retighten
the screw.
Check diesel fuel filter at shorter
intervals if the vehicle is subjected to
extreme operating conditions.
Diesel fuel system bleeding
If the fuel tank has been run dry, it will be necessary to air vent or bleed the
diesel fuel system.
Refuel then proceed as follows:With ignition key
● Switch on the ignition (key to position 2) for 5 seconds at a
time.
● Switch off ignition (key to position
1 ) for 3 seconds.
● Repeat this process multiple times.
● Start the engine (key to position 3) then switch off (key to position
0 ).
