Specific engine variants not explicitly stated in product info but are characteristic of Rexton I. Engine Options Later Years: Continued use of Mercedes-Benz derived diesel engines, potentially updated versions. Gasoline options may have included 2.3L or 3.2L variants. Performance Horsepower Torque Note: Specific figures vary by engine. Manual will provide detailed specs for each available engine. Fuel System Fuel Delivery Note: Likely includes common rail diesel injection (CRDI) for diesel variants and multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for gasoline variants. Manual will detail specific systems. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Likely manual and automatic transmissions available. Mercedes-Benz sourced transmissions were common in early models. Optional Optional Transmission Type: Details on specific optional transmissions (e.g., different gear ratios, transfer case options) will be in the manual. Features Transmission Coverage: Transmission service procedures, fluid specifications, repair, and overhaul information covered. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Body Style: 5-door SUV Wheelbase: Approximately 2770 mm (109.1 inches) for the Rexton I (RG). Weights Curb Weight: Varies by engine and configuration, typically around 1900-2200 kg (4189-4850 lbs). Towing Capacity: Refer to vehicle-specific documentation or manual for exact figures. Generally capable of significant towing. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Safety Rating Note: Specific crash test ratings for these model years may be limited or vary by region. Manual will detail safety system components. Active Features Active Safety Features: Likely included ABS, EBD. Traction control and stability control may have been optional or standard on higher trims. Passive Features Passive Safety Features: Airbags (front, potentially side), seatbelt pretensioners, crumple zones. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Infotainment Systems: Early models likely featured basic radio/cassette or CD players. Higher trims might have offered a rudimentary CD changer and rudimentary navigation systems. Driver Assistance Driver Assistance Features: As noted in safety, ABS and EBD were common. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) were not prevalent in this era. Connectivity Connectivity Features: Limited to basic audio inputs (e.g., auxiliary jack on later models), no Bluetooth or USB connectivity typical for this period. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically 5,000-10,000 km (3,000-6,000 miles) or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions. Manual will specify exact intervals. Timing Belt Interval: Crucial for diesel engines, typically around 100,000 km (60,000 miles) or 5 years. Manual provides precise intervals and replacement procedures. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Type: API CF or higher for diesel, API SG/SH for gasoline. Viscosity grade (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-40) depends on climate. Manual will list specific SAE grades and capacities. Coolant Type: Ethylene glycol based coolant, typically with a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Manual will specify exact type and capacity. Transmission Fluid Type: Manuals will specify ATF (Dexron II/III equivalent) for automatics and gear oil (e.g., GL-4 or GL-5) for manual transmissions. Capacities will be detailed. Known Issues Common Wear Items: Suspension components (bushings, ball joints), diesel injector seals (on older diesel engines), EGR valve issues (diesel), potential for turbocharger wear on high-mileage diesels. Electrical Gremlins: Wiring harness issues or sensor failures can occur with age, detailed troubleshooting in manual. Diesel Specific: Glow...
