Safety precautions

WARNINGBefore driving on to a hoist ensure there is sufficient clearance between low lying vehicle components and hoist. Before driving a vehicle onto a lifting platform it must be ensured that the vehicle weight does not exceed the permissible lifting capacity of the platform. Vehicle may only be lifted at points indicated in illustration in order to avoid damaging vehicle floor pan and to prevent vehicle from tipping. Never start engine and engage a gear with vehicle lifted so long as even one wheel has contact with the floor. There is a risk of an accident if this is not observed! If work is to be performed under vehicle it must be supported by suitable stands.

Lifting points for lifting platform and trolley jack

WARNINGAlways use a suitable rubber or wooden block between the jack and the vehicle. Do not lift the vehicle at the engine oil pan, transmission, or on front or rear axles as serious damage may result.

Scheme 50: Checking tires, tire condition, wear pattern, inflation pressure and tread depth
  1. Tire filling unit VAS 5216

Tire condition, checking

WARNINGIf damage is discovered, the tire must be examined to determine whether a new one must be installed.

Tests during delivery inspection

  1. Check tires (tread and side walls) for damage and remove foreign material for example nails and glass splinters if necessary.

Tests during inspection service

  1. Check tires (tread and side walls) for damage and remove foreign material for example nails and glass splinters if necessary.
  2. Check tires for scuffing, one sided wear, porous side walls, cuts and fractures.

Checking tire wear pattern

The tread wear on the front tires will help determine whether toe or camber need to be checked.

  1. Feathered edges of the treads may indicate faulty toe adjustment.
  2. One-sided tread wear is mainly attributed to incorrect camber.

When wear of this nature is noticed determine cause by performing alignment checks (repair measure).

Scheme 51

Scheme 51: Depth of tire tread: Checking and noting
  1. Check tire tread depth

Minimum depth: 1.6 mm

Note. This value may vary for individual countries due to different legislative regulations. The minimum tread depth is reached when the tires have worn down level with the 1.6 mm high tread wear indicators - arrows - positioned at intervals around the tire. If the tread depth is approaching the legal minimum permissible depth, the customer must be informed.

General notes

WARNINGFor reasons of safety only tires of same type and tread pattern should be fitted on a vehicle! On All Wheel Drive vehicle tires of the same type and tread pattern must be used. Otherwise the center differential may be damaged.

Note. "Check tire inflation pressure" applies also to the spare wheel in case the vehicle is equipped with a regular spare tire or mini-spare tire. Tire inflation pressure table applies to normal tires, for all tire sizes installed at factory. Observe that the inflation pressure specifications refer to the air pressure of cold tires. Do not reduce increased pressures on warm tires. Tires pressures for the relevant model are on a sticker attached to the inside of fuel tank flap. Adapt tire pressure corresponding to load. The spare wheel receives the highest tire pressure designated for the vehicle. Utility vehicles are predominantly driven with the tire pressure specified for full load. The specified tire inflation pressures include a trailer up to a speed of 80 mph (130 km/h).

Winter tires

Note. Important information on the recommended winter tires can be found in ElsaWin ; Technical Information; Wheels/tires guidebook. For winter tires, tire inflation pressure must be increased approx. 0.2 bar.

Meaning of speed indexes in the table

  1. Q - up to 100 mph (160 km/h)
  2. T: up to 118 mph (190 km/h)
  3. H: up to 130 mph (210 km/h)
  4. W: up to 167 mph (270 km/h)
  1. Y: up to 186 mph (300 km/h)

Cooling system, freeze protection and coolant level, checking

Note. All engines are filled with freeze and corrosion protection additives G 12 Plus according to TL VW 774 F (purple color). Be sure to use only G 12 Plus. Purple G 12 Plus is compatible with the red G 12 coolant additive!

Note. G 12 Plus is suitable as a filled-for-life filling for cast iron and all-aluminum engines and gives optimum protection against freezing, corrosion damage, scaling and over-heating. G 12 Plus increases the boiling point to 275 ° F (135 ° C) and ensures for a better heat dissipation. The coolant portion of the mixture must amount to at least 40% (freeze protection to -13 ° F [-25 ° C]) and should not exceed 60% (freeze protection to -40 ° F [-40 ° C]). Otherwise the freeze protection will be reduced and the cooling efficiency will be worsened.

Checking freeze protection and adding coolant additive if necessary

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Scheme 65

Scheme 65: Checking freeze protection and adding coolant additive if necessary
  1. Refractometer T10007

Note. Read the bright/dark boundary to obtain an accurate reading for the following tests. Place a drop of water on the glass to improve the readability of the bright/dark boundary. The bright/dark boundary can be clearly recognized on the "WATERLINE".

  1. Check the concentration of the coolant additive using refractometer T10007 (operating instructions).

Scheme 66

Scheme 66

The scale - 1 - of the refractometer is designed for coolant additives G 12 according to TL VW 774 D, G 11 according to TL VW 774 C and G 12 Plus according to TL VW 774 F.

The scale - 2 - is designed for coolant additive G 13.

Note. The coolant additive G 13 is currently used only in vehicles of type "L 80". Freeze protection must be guaranteed to approx.-13 ° F (-25 ° C) (approx.-31 ° F (-35 ° C) in countries with an arctic climate). If climate conditions make greater freeze protection necessary, the amount of G 12 can be increased up to 60% (Freeze protection to approx. -40 ° F (-40 ° C). Adding more coolant reduces the freeze protection and reduces the cooling efficiency.

  1. If freeze protection is insufficient, drain off required quantity shown in freeze protection table and add coolant additive G12 Plus which corresponds to TL VW 774 F.

Note. Observe waste disposal regulations!

  1. Delivery inspection: Coolant level at max. marking.
  2. Inspection service: Coolant level between min. and max. marking.
  1. If coolant is too low, add required amount according to mixture ratio.

Note. Determine cause of fluid loss which cannot be attributed to normal use and rectify (repair measure).

Mixture ratio

25 ° CApprox. 40%Approx. 60 %
35 ° CApprox. 50 %Approx. 50 %
40 ° CApprox. 60 %Approx. 40%

Note. Coolant additive G 12 Plus prevents freezing and corrosion damage, scaling and also raises boiling point of coolant. For these reasons, the cooling system must be filled with radiator freeze and corrosion protection fluid all year round. Especially in countries with tropical climates or when vehicle is driven under heavy load, the coolant improves the engine reliability by its increased boiling point. The coolant concentration must not be reduced by adding water, even during the warmer season. The coolant additive ratio must be at least 40%.

Headlight with gas discharge lamps

Note. Vehicles with gas discharge lamps are equipped with an automatic headlight range control. For these vehicles the "Basic Setting" sequence must be performed to adjust the headlights.

The following test- and adjustment instructions are applicable to all countries. But national legislation and regulations of the respective country is to be adhered to.

The following are prerequisites when adjusting headlights with gas discharge system

  1. Tire pressure OK.
  2. Lenses must not be damaged or dirty.
  3. Reflectors and bulbs OK.
  4. Parking brake must be released and no gears selected.
  1. The steering wheel must be in straight-ahead position.
  2. The vehicle must not be moved during basic setting (do not "open/close" doors, lean on vehicle or exit/enter vehicle).
  3. Nobody may be in the vehicle and the vehicle must not be loaded.
  4. Move vehicle back and forth for 1 meter (3 to 4 feet) or bounce front and rear of vehicle several times up and down to settle suspension.
  1. Vehicle and headlight adjuster must be on a level surface. User manual for headlight adjuster.
  2. Vehicle and headlight adjuster must be aligned.
  3. Inclination must be set.

In the trim above the headlight, inclination measurements are stamped in "%". The headlights must be adjusted according to these measurements. Percentage information is based on a projection distance of 10 meters. For example: inclination of 1.2 % converts to approx. 12 cm.
