Maintenance of your vehicle is

required every 10,000 miles or after

one year, whichever occurs first.

Additional engine oil and filter change

is indicated by the engine oil life

system, when required earlier than

maintenance.

A shorter service interval can be valid

for severe driving behaviour, e.g. for

taxis and police vehicles.

The European service intervals are

valid for the following countries:

Severe operating conditions exist if

one or more of the following

circumstances occur frequently: Cold

starting, stop and go operation, 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.

The international service intervals are

valid for the countries which are not

listed in the European service

intervals.

Caution

Only use products that meet the

recommended specifications.

In case of any spilled oil, wipe it up

and dispose it properly.

9 Warning

Operating materials are

hazardous and could be

poisonous. Handle with care. Pay

attention to information given on

the containers.

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.

Select the appropriate engine oil

based on its quality and on the

minimum ambient temperature

3 275.

Service display 3 106.

Confirmations

Confirmation of service is recorded in

the Service and warranty booklet.

The date and mileage is completed

with the stamp and signature of the

servicing workshop.

Make sure that the Service and

warranty booklet is completed

correctly as continuous proof of

service is essential if any warranty or

goodwill claims are to be met. It is also

a benefit when selling the vehicle.

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

aging control, whereas viscosity

grade gives information on the oil's

thickness over a temperature range.

Additional engine oil additives

The use of additional engine oil

additives could cause damage and

invalidate the warranty.

272

Service and maintenance

Engine oil viscosity grades

should be maintained all year round.

The use of additional coolant

The SAE viscosity grade gives

additives that intend to give additional

corrosion protection or seal against

minor leaks can cause function

problems. Liability for consequences

resulting from the use of additional

coolant additives will be rejected.

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.

Select the appropriate viscosity grade

depending on the minimum ambient

temperature 3 275.

Washer fluid

Use only washer fluid approved for

the vehicle to prevent damage of

wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and

rubber parts. Consult a workshop.

All of the recommended viscosity

grades are suitable for high ambient

temperatures.

Brake and clutch fluid

Over time, brake fluid absorbs

moisture which will reduce braking

effectiveness. The brake fluid should

therefore be replaced at the specified

interval.

Coolant and antifreeze

Use only organic acid type-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. In

cold regions with very low

temperatures the factory filled coolant

provides frost protection down to

approx. -37 °C. This concentration
