the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.

before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.

Battery maintenance
9 Danger
Ensure adequate ventilation when
charging the battery. There is
a risk of explosion if gases
generated during charging are
allowed to accumulate!
Replacing the battery
When the battery is being replaced,
please ensure that there are no open
ventilation holes in the vicinity of the
positive terminal. If a ventilation hole
is open in this area, it must be closed
off with a dummy cap, and the
ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
We recommend that you have the
battery replaced by a workshop.
Additional battery
Depending on the vehicle's auxiliary
equipment certain models may have
an additional battery located next to
the vehicle battery.
Vehicle care
Diesel fuel filter
Drain diesel fuel filter of residual
water at every engine oil change.
Place a container underneath the
filter housing. Loosen the knurled
screws on the filter cover and on the
lower part of the filter by approx. one
turn, to drain off the water.
The filter is drained as soon as diesel
fuel emerges from the knurled screw
at the bottom. Retighten the two
screws.
Check diesel fuel filter at shorter
intervals if the vehicle is subjected to
extreme operating conditions.
