	Adding transmission oil
	Risk of accident  caused by vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running. Risk of injury  caused by contusions and burns during starting procedure or when working near the running engine	Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving by itself. Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes. Do not grasp hot or rotating parts.	AS00.00-Z-0005-01A
1	Drive vehicle to level surface
2	Open engine hood
3	Remove locking pin (93a)	Remove locking pin by breaking off the plate of the locking pin (93a) with a suitable tool and pressing out the pin remaining in the cap (93) downwards.
4	Remove cap (93) from oil filler pipe
5	Fill with transmission oil	After a complete refill and after changing the transmission oil, pour in approx. 5 liters of transmission oil before starting the engine. Insufficient and excessive quantities of oil result in malfunctions and transmission damage.

6	Start engine and allow it to idle in drive position "P"
7	Fill with remaining quantity of transmission oil	Initial charge
8	Apply service brake and shift through drive positions several times with vehicle stationary and engine running at idle speed
9	Insert oil dipstick all the way into oil filler pipe, pull it out again and read off transmission oil level	When the transmission is cold (approx. 25 °C), the transmission oil level must be between the "min" and "max" mark of the marking (A). The exact transmission oil level can only be determined at a transmission oil temperature of 80 °C.

10	Warm up transmission oil to operating temperature
	Check transmission fluid level
11	Apply service brake and shift through drive positions several times with vehicle stationary and engine running at idle speed
12	Connect STAR DIAGNOSIS and check transmission oil temperature in drive position "D"	Wait for 2 minutes until the exact transmission oil temperature can be measured. Operate service brakes at the same time. The exact transmission oil level can only be determined at a transmission oil temperature of 80 °C.
		STAR DIAGNOSIS diagnosis system	*WH58.30-Z-1048-13A
13	Insert oil dipstick all the way into the oil filler pipe, pull out again, read off transmission oil level and correct if necessary	If too much transmission oil is added, it is absolutely essential to drain off or extract the surplus. Insufficient and excessive quantities of oil result in malfunctions and transmission damage.
		The transmission oil level must be between the "min" and "max" mark of the marking (B).

14	Check transmission oil level again	After filling with transmission oil
15	Mount cap (93) on oil filler pipe and press in new locking pin (93a) until it latches
16	Perform engine test run and, with engine running, check transmission for leaks and that it is functioning correctly
