Check, adjust to specified pressure.

3. Trunk
Check, remove heal sensitive and heavy objects.

4. Engine/drivetrain at partial load in selector lever position "S" (approx. 34 hp)
Bring to operating temperature, engine oil temperature approx. 80 °C Do not exceed 120 °C.

5. Vehicles with ASR/ETS/ABS
a) Working without Hand-Held Tester (HHT):
Ignition: OFF, bridge socket 6 and 1 (ground) on data link connector (DTC readout) (X11/4). Use adaptor. ASR/ETS/ABS MIL will light while driving.
