00 Danger of poisoning if oil is ingested/absorbed through the skin

Danger of poisoning!

Ingesting oil or absorbing through the skin may cause poisoning!

Possible symptoms are

  1. Headaches
  2. Dizziness
  3. Stomach aches
  4. Vomiting
  5. Diarrhoea
  6. Cramps/fits
  7. Unconsciousness

Protective measures/rules of conduct

  1. Pour oil only into appropriately marked containers.
  2. Do not pour oil into drinking vessels (drinks bottles, glasses, cups or mugs).
  3. Observe country-specific safety regulations.

First aid measures

  1. Do not induce vomiting. If the person affected is still conscious, he/she must rinse out their mouth with water, drink plenty of water and consult a doctor immediately. If the person affected is unconscious, do not administer anything by mouth, place the person in the recovery position and seek immediate medical attention.

00 Risk of injury if oil comes into contact with eyes and skin

Danger of injury!

Contact with eyes or skin may result in injury!

Possible symptoms are

  1. Impaired sight
  2. Irritation of the eyes
  3. Reddening of the skin
  4. Rough and cracked skin

Protective measures/rules of conduct

  1. Wear protective goggles
  2. Wear oil-resistant protective gloves
  3. Observe country-specific safety regulations

First aid measures

  1. Eye contact: Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; if available, use an eye-rinsing bottle. If irritation of the eyes persists, consult a doctor.
  2. Skin contact: Wash off with soap and water immediately. If irritation persists, consult a doctor. NOTE: Do not use solvents/thinners.

00 Safety information for working on vehicles with automatic engine start-stop function (MSA)

WARNINGIf the engine hood/bonnet contact is pulled upwards (workshop mode), the information "switch closed" is output. The automatic engine start-stop function is active. An automatic engine start is possible.

Observe safety precautions when working on MSA vehicles.

Before carrying out practical work on the engine, always ensure that the MSA functionality is deactivated so as to prevent automatic engine starting while work is being carried out in the engine compartment.

MSA function is deactivated by

Scheme 216

Scheme 216

Scheme 217

Scheme 217
  1. Deactivate MSA by means of button (1) in passenger compartment
  2. Open seat belt buckle and driver's door
  3. Open engine bonnet/hood and ensure that engine hood/bonnet contact is not in workshop mode Workshop mode A = 10 mm Basic setting (engine hood/bonnet open) B = 7 mm To make sure that the engine hood/bonnet contact is at the basic setting, if necessary press the hood/bonnet contact up to the limit position before starting work and slowly release.

00 Safety instructions for handling oil

WARNINGDANGER OF POISONING if oil is ingested/absorbed through the skin! RISK OF INJURY if oil comes into contact with eyes and skin!

Recycling

Observe country-specific waste-disposal regulations.

Measures if oil is unintentionally released

  1. Personal precautionary measures: Danger of slipping! Keep noninvolved persons away from the work area. Wear personal protective clothing/equipment.
  2. Environmental protection measures: Prevent oil from draining into drain channels, sewerage systems, pits, cellars, water and the ground.

IMPORTANTWhen the engine is shut down, the inlet and exhaust adjustment unit is normally locked in its initial position. The situation may arise in some individual cases where this initial position is not reached and the camshaft can continue to be rotated in the adjustment range of the adjustment unit. In order to avoid incorrect timing adjustment, it is essential to check the locking of the adjustment unit and if necessary perform locking by rotating the camshafts.

Checking locking of inlet and exhaust adjustment units in initial position

Gripping hexagon head (2) of camshafts with a fork wrench (1), carefully try to rotate camshafts against direction of rotation.

The inlet and exhaust adjustment units are locked in the initial position when the camshafts are non-positively connected to the adjustment units.

Note. Graphic corresponds to cylinders 5-8.

IMPORTANTIf the inlet or exhaust adjustment unit of the camshafts "can not" be locked as described, the adjustment unit is faulty and must be replaced.

Fit special tool 11 9 893 on exhaust camshaft and check timing adjustment.

Note. Timing is correctly adjusted when special tool 11 9 893 rests without a gap on cylinder head.

Fit special tool 11 9 893 on intake camshaft and check timing adjustment.

Note. Timing is correctly adjusted when special tool 11 9 893 rests without a gap on cylinder head. If necessary, adjust camshaft TIMING on right side.

Remove all special tools.

IMPORTANTWhen the engine is shut down, the inlet and exhaust adjustment units are normally locked in their initial position. The situation may arise in some individual cases where this initial position is not reached and the camshaft can continue to be rotated in the adjustment range of the adjustment unit. In order to avoid incorrect timing adjustment, it is essential to check the locking of the adjustment unit and if necessary perform locking by rotating the camshafts.

Checking locking of inlet and exhaust adjustment units in initial position

Gripping hexagon head (2) of camshafts with a fork wrench (1), carefully try to rotate camshafts against direction of rotation.
