Maintenance

General notes
H
Environmental note
Observe measures to protect the environ-
ment when working on the vehicle. You must
observe the legal requirements when dispos-
ing 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 instruc-
tions for use of the care products.
Do not run the engine for longer than neces-
sary when the vehicle is stationary.
Before carrying out maintenance measures and
repairs, you must read the following documents
relating to maintenance measures and repairs:
relevant sections of the technical documen-
R
tation such as the operating instructions and
workshop information
legal stipulations such as work safety regula-
R
tions and accident prevention regulations
When carrying out work underneath the vehicle,
you must secure the vehicle using stands with
sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Never use the vehicle jack instead of stands. The
vehicle's jack is intended only to raise the vehi-
cle for a short time when changing a wheel. It is
not suited for performing maintenance work
under the vehicle.
Please also refer to the notes about qualified
specialist workshops (
The scope and regularity of the inspection and
maintenance work primarily depend on the
often diverse operating conditions. Specialist
knowledge beyond the scope of these Operating
Instructions is required when carrying out test-
ing and maintenance work. This work should
only be carried out by trained personnel.
The vehicle Maintenance Booklet describes the
scope and frequency of maintenance work and
contains additional notes on the implied war-
ranty and on service products.
Maintenance services must be carried out in
accordance with the provisions and recommen-
dations in the Maintenance Booklet. Not doing
so could void any warranty claims and lead to
refusal of goodwill gestures after the manufac-
turer has submitted a damage report.
