tained therein. This can also lead to engine fail-ure. If any other type of water is refilled, the flu-id in the engine cooling system should be com-pletely replaced immediately by a qualified workshop.
• Do not fill coolant above the top of the marked area =>Fig. 277. Otherwise the excess coolant will be pressed out of the cooling sys-tem when the engine is hot and could cause damage.
• If a large amount of coolant has been lost, do not refill the coolant until the engine has cooled completely. Heavy coolant loss is an in-dication of leaks in the engine cooling system. The engine cooling system should be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible. Failure to do so can result in engine damage.
• Do not top up with coolant if there is no more coolant in the coolant expansion tank. Air could enter the cooling system. Do not drive on! Seek expert assistance. Failure to do so can result in engine damage.
• When refilling service fluids, please ensure that the correct container is filled. The use of incorrect service fluids can result In serious faults and engine damage. Number and location of the vehicle battery
The vehicle battery is located on the left of the en-gine compartment.
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, the ve-hicle could have two vehicle batteries. Camper vans can have up to three vehicle batteries. The second vehicle battery is located under the left front seat: the third battery in camper vans is loca-ted in the wardrobe on the rear left of the vehicle. •

• Insert the box spanner into the adapter as far as it will go.
• Hold the end of the box spanner and turn the wheel bolt one turn anticlockwise => &.
Important information about the wheel bolts
The design of the wheel rims and wheel bolts is matched to the factory-fitted wheels. If different rims are fitted, the correct wheel bolts with the right length and correctly shaped bolt heads must be used. This ensures that wheels are fitted securely and that the brake system works properly.
In certain circumstances, wheel bolts from a vehi-cle of the same model series may not be used.
Tightening torque for the wheel bolts
The tightening torque for wheel bolts for steel and alloy wheels is 180 Nm. The tightening torque should be checked with a torque wrench immedi-ately after changing a wheel. .,.
Practical tips 421

• Clean the area around the fastening holes of the spare wheel.
• Position the spare wheel.
• Insert the anti-theft wheel bolt using the adapter at position 298 @or® and tighten it slight-ly.
• Screw in all the other wheel bolts in a clockwise direction and use the box spanner to tighten them gently.
• Lower the vehicle with the jack.
• Use the box spanner to tighten all the wheel bolts securely in a clockwise direction &. Do not tighten the bolts in clockwise or anticlockwise se-quence. Tighten them in diagonal sequence.
• Fit the cover caps, centre covers or wheel cov-ers 417.

You can use the breakdown set (tyre mobility set) to safely seal any tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or punctures (up to 4 mm (0.16 Inches) in diameter). Do not remove foreign objects (e.g. screws or nails) from the tyrel
Once the sealant has been added to the tyre, the tyre pressure must be checked again after approxi-mately 10 minutes of driving.
,A WARNING
Incorrect torque or incorrect use of wheel bolts can lead to a loss of control of the vehi-cle, cause accidents and serious Injuries.
• Always keep all wheel bolts and threads In the wheel hubs clean and free from oil and grease. The wheel bolts must be easy to turn and be tightened to the specified torque.
• The hexagonal socket In the screwdriver handle should only be used for turning wheel bolts, not use for loosening or tightening them. • The tightening torque of the wheel bolts should be checked immediately with a torque wrench opage 421.
• The damaged wheel should be replaced as soon as possible.
m In vehicles with a tyre monitoring system, the L!..J system may have to "re-learn" if new tyres are fitted 318. Seek expert assistance if more than one vehicle tyre is damaged. The breakdown set is only de-signed for filling one tyre.
Only use the breakdown set if the car is parked in a safe place, you are familiar with the required ac-tions and safety procedures, and you have access to the correct breakdown set. Seek expert assis-tance if this is not the case.
The tyre sealant must not be used:
• If the rim is damaged.
• If the outside temperature is below -2o•c (-4 ·F).
• If there are cuts or punctures in the tyre that are larger than 4 mm. .,.
