General information

Caution

We recommend the use of genuine parts and

accessories and factory approved parts specific

for your vehicle type. We cannot assess or

guarantee reliability of other products — even

if they have a regulatory or otherwise granted

approval.

Any modification, conversion or other changes

made to standard vehicle specifications

(including, without limitation, software

modifications, modifications of the electronic

control units) may invalidate the warranty offered

by Manufacturer. Furthermore, such changes

may affect driver assistance systems, may

impact fuel or electric power consumption, CO2

emissions and other emissions of the vehicle

and cause the vehicle to no longer conform to

the operating permit, impacting the validity of

your vehicle registration.

The cold protection covers must be

removed when one of the following conditions

occurs:

Service Information

In order to ensure economical and safe vehicle

operation and to maintain the value of your

vehicle, it is of vital importance that all

maintenance work is carried out at the proper

intervals.

The detailed, up-to-date service schedule for

your vehicle is available at the workshop.

Severe operating conditions exist if one or more

of the following circumstances occur frequently:

Cold starting, stop and go operation, e.g.

for taxis and police vehicles, trailer operation,

mountain driving, driving on poor and sandy road

surfaces, increased air pollution, presence of

airborne sand and high dust content, driving at

high altitude and large variations of temperature.

Under these severe operating conditions, certain

service work may be required more frequently

than the regular service interval indicated in

the service display. Contact a workshop for

customised service schedules.

claims are to be met, and is also a benefit when

selling the vehicle.

Warning

Take care when working under the hood,

as certain areas of the engine may be

extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling

fan could start at any time (even with the

ignition off).

Fuel cell version

The service interval for the fuel cell vehicle is

15,000 km or one year, whichever comes first.

Scheduled servicing

Warning

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or

fluids with the skin.

Most of these fluids are harmful to health and

very corrosive.

Periodic checks

Unless otherwise indicated, check these

components in accordance with the

manufacturer's service schedule and according

to your engine.

Otherwise, have them checked by a dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Only use products recommended by dealer or

products of equivalent quality and specification.

In order to optimise the operation of components

as important as those in the braking system,

dealer selects and offers very specific products.

Engine oil

Different dipsticks are used depending on engine

variant.

Check the engine oil level manually on a regular

basis to prevent damage to the engine. Ensure

that the correct specification of oil is used.

Recommended fluids and lubricants.

The maximum engine oil consumption is 0.6 l

per 1000 km.

Check with the vehicle on a level surface. The

engine must be at operating temperature and

switched off for at least five minutes.

Cheking Fluids Level

Check all of the following levels regularly in

accordance with the manufacturer's service

schedule. Top them up if required, unless

otherwise indicated.

If a level drops significantly, have the

corresponding system checked by a dealer.

Caution

It is the owner's responsibility to maintain

the proper level of an appropriate quality oil in

the engine.

Warning

The fluids must comply with the

manufacturer's requirements and with the

vehicle's engine.

Insert dipstick fully up to the stop on the

handle.Ensure that no engine oil gets into the

engine compartment, as this increases risk of

fire.

When the engine oil level has dropped to the

MIN mark, top up the engine oil.

168

Maintance And Vehicle Care

We recommend the use of the same grade of

engine oil that was used at last change.

Washer fluid

8

The brake fluid level must be between the

DANGER and MAX marks.

If fluid level is below DANGER, seek the

assistance of a workshop.

Fill with clean water mixed with a suitable

quantity of approved windscreen washer fluid

that contains antifreeze.

The engine oil level must not exceed the MAX

mark on the dipstick.

Coolant level - fuel cell

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.

Only washer fluid with a sufficient

antifreeze concentration provides protection

at low temperatures or a sudden drop in

temperature.

Caution

The coolant reservoir may contain traces

of hydrogen which is normal.

Using the wrong coolant will cause severe

damage to the fuel cell system. Only qualified

service personnel are allowed to open the

coolant reservoir and to top up coolant.

Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.

Brake fluid

Warning

Brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive.

Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and

painted surfaces.

Caution

An excessively coolant level can cause

damage to the fuel cell system.

169

Maintance And Vehicle Care

Caution

Using the wrong coolant will cause severe

damages to the high voltage components.

Only qualified service personnel are allowed

to open the coolant reservoir and to top up

coolant.

Coolant level - ICE

The factory filled coolant provides freeze

protection down to approx. -37 °C.

Caution

Only use approved antifreeze.

If the cooling system is cold, the coolant level

should be above the MIN mark. If the coolant

level is too low, seek the assistance of a

workshop.

If the cooling system is cold, the coolant level

should be above the MIN mark. If the coolant

level is too low, seek the assistance of a

workshop.

Caution

A too low coolant level can cause engine

damage.

Coolant level - high voltage components

Coolant level - BEV

Caution

Using the wrong coolant will cause severe

damages to the high voltage components.

Only qualified service personnel are allowed

to open the coolant reservoir and to top up

coolant.

Caution

An excessively low coolant level

can cause damage to the high-voltage

components.

the fluid reacts with nitrous gases (NOx) from the

exhaust and turns it into nitrogen and water.

The designation of this fluid is AdBlue^®. It

is a non-toxic, nonflammable, colourless and

odourless fluid which consists of 32% urea and

68% water.

Topping up engine oil

Warning

8

Allow the engine to cool before opening

the cap. Carefully open the cap, relieving the

pressure slowly.

Caution

In case of any spilled oil, wipe it up and

dispose of it properly.

To top up, use a 1:1 mixture of released coolant

concentrate mixed with clean tap water. If no

coolant concentrate is available, use clean tap

water. Install the cap tightly. Have the coolant

concentration checked and have the cause of

the coolant loss remedied by a workshop.

Engine oils of different manufacturers and

brands can be mixed as long as they comply

with the required engine oil quality and viscosity.

Use of engine oils for all petrol engines with

only ACEA quality is prohibited, since it can

cause engine damage under certain operating

conditions.

Warning

Avoid contact of your eyes or skin with

AdBlue^®.

In case of eye or skin contact, rinse off with

water.

Recommended fluids,

lubricants and parts

Only use products that meet the recommended

specifications.

Additional engine oil additives

Caution

Avoid contact of the paintwork with

AdBlue^®.

In case of contact, rinse off with water.

The use of additional engine oil additives could

cause damage and invalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity grades

The SAE viscosity grade gives information of the

thickness of the oil.

Multigrade 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.

AdBlue^®freezes at a temperature of approx.

-11 °C. As the vehicle is equipped with an

AdBlue^®pre-heater, the emissions reduction at

low temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue^®pre-

heater works automatically.

Warning

Operating materials are hazardous and

could be poisonous. Handle with care.

Pay attention to information given on the

containers.

In some circumstances below the mentioned

temperature, an error message appears in the

Driver Information Centre. In this event, park

the vehicle in a space with a higher ambient

temperature until AdBlue^®is liquefied.

Washer fluid

Use only washer fluid approved for the vehicle

to prevent damage of wiper blades, paintwork,

plastic and rubber parts. Consult a workshop.

Engine oil

Engine oil is identified by its quality and its

viscosity. Quality is more important than viscosity

when selecting which engine oil to use. The

oil quality ensures e.g. engine cleanliness,

wear protection and oil ageing control, whereas

viscosity grade gives information on the oil's

thickness over a temperature range.

Use the appropriate engine oil given on the

service schedule sheet handed over by the

selling dealer.

NOTE:

AdBlue^®

General information

Frozen and again liquefied AdBlue^®is usable

without quality loss.

The typical AdBlue^®consumption is approx. 2 l

per 1000 km, but can also be higher depending

on driving behaviour (e.g. high load or towing).

The selective catalytic reduction (BlueInjection)

is a method to substantially reduce the nitrogen

oxides in the exhaust emission. This is achieved

by injecting a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into

the exhaust system. The ammonia released by

Maintance And Vehicle Care

Regularly check the wheels for damage. Seek

the assistance of a workshop in the event of

damage or unusual wear.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at

temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore

be fitted on all wheels.

In accordance with country-specific regulations,

affix the speed sticker in the driver's field of view,

if the tyre speed code is below the maximum

speed of the vehicle.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular intervals.

For safety reasons, it is recommended that the

tread depth of the tyres on one axle should not

vary by more than 2 mm.

Insert a thin screwdriver, e.g., in one of the

recesses of the cover and push it outwards to

unclip it.

Pull the bulb from the bulb holder and re-

place it.
