Steering (Foreword): Description and Operation

Foreword

The New Technical Features MY 2004,5 publication contains information about changes and new features that will be deployed as of MY 2004,5.

The information that it contains will also be published in the relevant workshop literature. New features and changes compared to predecessor models will be taken into consideration in future service instructions if they are important with regard to maintenance and repair. Any differences between left-hand and right-hand drive vehicles will also be described.

Since these New Technical Features are intended for worldwide distribution, the "Engine, Built-On Engine Parts" section will also include engines that are used in countries outside Europe. The consumption values for these engines have been determined using country-specific methods and are therefore not always listed here.
