WARNING
Before carrying out maintenance operations
and repairs, you must read the sections
referring to maintenance operations and
repairs:
R
this includes relevant sections of the
technical documentation, such as the
operating instructions and workshop
information.
R
you should also familiarize yourself with the
legal requirements, such as work safety
regulations and accident prevention
measures.
You could otherwise fail to recognize dangers
and thereby injure yourself or others.
You must secure the vehicle on axle stands of
sufficient load bearing capacity if work is
being carried out beneath it.
Never use the jack as a substitute. The jack
could slip and the vehicle could drop. This
could result in serious injury to yourself or
others.
The vehicle jack is intended only to raise the
vehicle for a short time.
Always have the maintenance work carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Observe the notes on parts in the "Technical
data" section (Y page 284).
%Environmental note
Observe measures to protect the
environment when working on the vehicle.
You must observe the legal requirements
when disposing of service products, e.g.
engine oil. This also includes all components,
e.g. filters, which have come into contact with
service products. Any qualified specialist
workshop can provide information about this.
Dispose of empty containers, cleaning cloths
and care products in an environmentally-
responsible manner. Comply with the
instructions for use of the care products.
Do not run the engine for longer than
necessary when the vehicle is stationary.
Service interval display
General notes
The service interval display shows a due
service approximately 1 month in advance. A
message is then displayed while the vehicle
is in motion or when the ignition is switched
on.
i
The service interval display does not
provide information about the oil level. The
service interval display should therefore
not be confused with the 5 engine oil
level display.
The service due date is displayed in days or
miles (kilometers), depending on the total
distance driven.
The symbols or letters in the service indicator
show the service due.
