NOTES
• To check the oil level, the Intarder must not be activated
anymore shortly before stopping the vehicle.
This ensures that the correct oil volume is reached in the
transmission.
• In order to avoid incorrect measurements, the oil level
check of the transmission with ZF-Intarder must be
performed when
- the vehicle is parked on level ground
- the engine is switched off, and
- the transmission oil has cooled down (< 40 °C).
