306Vehicle careCaution
Do not tow the vehicle from the
rear. The front towing eye must
only be used for towing and not
recovering a vehicle.
Switch on ignition to permit operation
of brake lights, horn and windscreen
wipers, and move the steering wheel
slightly to release the steering wheel
lock.
Switch off the air suspension system 3 230.
Caution
Deactivate the driver assistance
systems like active emergency
braking 3 252, otherwise the
vehicle may automatically brake during towing.
Move the selector lever to neutral.
Release the parking brake.
Caution
Vehicles with manual
transmission automated: If neutral cannot be selected, the vehiclemust only be towed with the drive
wheels raised off the ground.
The vehicle should always be
towed with the ignition switched
off.
Manual transmission automated
3 240.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes
from the towing vehicle, switch on the air recirculation system 3 208 and
close the windows.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and refit the cover.
Towing another vehicle
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the rear towing eye, never to
the rear axle and suspension units.
Caution
The rear towing eye must only be
used for towing and not recovering a vehicle.
312Service and maintenanceMultigrade 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 3 315.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze Use only silicate-free 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. -28 °C.
This concentration should be
maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that
intend to give additional corrosion
protection or seal against minor leaks
can cause function problems. Liabilityfor consequences resulting from the
use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.
Washer fluid Use only washer fluid approved for
the vehicle to prevent damage of wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and
rubber parts. Consult a workshop.
Brake fluid
Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified interval.
AdBlue
Only use AdBlue to reduce the
nitrogen oxides in the exhaust
emission 3 233.
322Customer informationOperating data in the vehicleControl units process data for
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, e.g.: ● vehicle status information (e.g. speed, movement delay, lateral
acceleration, wheel rotation rate, "seat belts fastened" display)
● ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor)
As a rule such data is transient, not
stored for longer than an operational
cycle, and only processed on board the vehicle itself. Control units often
include data storage (including the
vehicle key). This is used to allow
information to be documented
temporarily or permanently on vehicle
condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and
technical events and errors.Depending on technical equipment
level, the data stored is as follows:
● system component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status)
● faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,
brakes)
● system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggering
of an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems)
● information on events damaging the vehicle
● for electric vehicles the amount of
charge in the high-voltage
battery, estimated range
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,
maintenance), the operating data
saved can be read together with the
vehicle identification number and
used when necessary. Staff working
for the service network ( e.g. garages,
manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. The same
applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data which is read out,
documents the technical condition of
the vehicle or individual components
and assists with fault diagnosis,
compliance with warranty obligations
and quality improvement. This data,
in particular information on
component stress, technical events,
operator errors and other faults, is
transmitted to the manufacturer
where appropriate, together with the
vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to
product liability. The manufacturer
potentially also uses operating data
from vehicles for product recalls. This
data can also be used to check
customer warranty and guarantee
claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs or at
your request.
328Body conversionsLashing eyes
Secure heavy objects with lashing
straps attached to the lashing eyes.
Caution
The maximum force applied to the
lashing eyes should not exceed
4000 N or 8000 N at 30°.
Refer to the safety warning labels
located on the tipper or dropside
body.
Additional cargo strap retainers are
located under the tipper body floor.
Tipper operation
9 Warning
Before operating the tipper, apply
the parking brake and select
neutral gear position.
The operator must remain at the
control to ensure tipping and
lowering are performed correctly.
Keep other people away when
tipping function is in use.
Ensure the vehicle is on solid
ground and that the tipper body
can be raised to the maximum
height without touching overhead
obstructions.
The tipper body has two locking pins
which must be always attached while
operating. The locking pins are used
to obtain any one of the three tipping
positions.
Caution
The tipper must not be operated
with locking pins incorrectly
installed.
Pins installed diagonally opposite or in both front pivot positions will
result in damage if tipping is
attempted.
