General inspection
Make it a habit to give the engine and engine bay
a “visual” check before driving
before starting the
engine
and after operation
when you have stopped
the engine
. This will help you to discover if anything
abnormal has happened, or is about to happen.
Look especially carefully at oil, fuel and coolant lea-
kage, loose screws, worn or poorly tensioned drive
belts, loose connections, damaged hoses and elec-
trical cables. This inspection only takes a few minutes
and can prevent serious malfunctions and expensive
repairs.
WARNING!
Deposits of fuel, oils and grease on
the engine or in the engine bay are a fire hazard
and must be removed as soon as they are dis-
covered.
IMPORTANT!
If you discover a leakage of oil,
fuel or coolant, investigate the cause and fix the
fault before you start the engine.
IMPORTANT!
Observe the following when
cleaning with a high pressure washer: Never
aim the water jet at seals, rubber hoses or elec-
trical components. Never use a high pressure
washer for engine cleaning.
This chapter contains general technical information and instructions for carrying out the specified maintenance
points. Read them carefully before starting work. The times when maintenance points need to be attended to are
given in the previous chapter: Maintenance schedule
WARNING!
Read through the safety advice for care and maintenance work in the Safety information
chapter before you start work.
WARNING!
Care and maintenance work should be done with the engine stopped unless otherwise spe-
cified. Stop the engine before opening or removing the engine hatch/hood. Make it impossible to start the
engine by removing the start key and cutting the system voltage with the main switches.
