Information about oil consumption
If the vehicle is predominantly used for
!
short-distance driving, this could lead to a
fault in the automatic cleaning function for
the diesel particle filter. As a result, fuel may
accumulate in the engine oil and cause engine
failure.
Depending on the driving style, the vehicle con-
sumes a maximum of 1.0 l of engine oil every
1000 km.
Oil consumption may be higher if:
the vehicle is new.
R
you mainly operate the vehicle under arduous
R
operating conditions.
you frequently drive at high engine speeds.
R
Regular maintenance is one of the preconditions
for moderate rates of consumption.
You can only estimate the oil consumption after
you have driven a considerable distance.
Check the engine oil level on a regular basis, e.g.
weekly or each time you refuel (
Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brake fluid continuously absorbs mois-
ture from the air. This results in the boiling
point of the brake fluid lowering. If the boiling
point of the brake fluid is too low, vapour
pockets may form when the brakes are sub-
jected to a heavy load. This would impair brak-
ing efficiency. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the brake fluid renewed at the prescri-
bed intervals.
! Brake fluid corrodes paint, plastic and rub-
ber. If brake fluid comes into contact with
paint, plastic or rubber, rinse with water
immediately.

Coolant
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you top up
the antifreeze. Make sure that antifreeze is
not spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly
clean the antifreeze from components before
starting the engine.
Take care not to spill any coolant on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
Always use a suitable coolant mixture, even
in countries where high temperatures prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.
Coolant additive with corrosion/anti-
freeze protection
i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace-
ment confirmed in the Service Booklet.
