approved by Mercedes-Benz. Tires approved by Mercedes-Benz are developed to provide best possible performance in conjunction with the driving safety systems on your vehicle such as the ABS or the ESC. Tires specially developed for your vehicle and tested and approved by Mercedes- Benz can be identified by finding the following on the tire’s sidewall: RMO = Mercedes-Benz Original
equipment tires
RMO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original
equipment tires (applicable to selected tire sizes only)
RMOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tires with limited run-flat characteristics) original equipment tires Using tires other than those approved by Mercedes-Benz may result in damage that is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
For information on driving with MOExtended tires, see the “Practical hints” section (Y page 329). i USA only: Vehicles with MOExtended system are not factory-equipped with a TIREFIT kit. When retrofitting with tires that do not have run-flat characteristics, you should also equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit. TIREFIT kits are available at any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
! Using tires other than those approved by
Mercedes-Benz can have detrimental effects, such as Rpoor handling characteristics Rincreased noise Rincreased fuel consumption

Moreover, tires and rims not approved by Mercedes-Benz may, under load, exhibit dimensional variations and different tire deformation characteristics that could cause them to come into contact with the vehicle body or axle parts. Damage to the tires or the vehicle may be the result.
i Further information on tires and rims is
available at any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. The Tire and Loading Information placard with the recommended tire inflation pressures for cold tires is located on the driver’s door B-pillar. Supplemental tire inflation pressure information for driving at high speeds or for vehicle loads less than the maximum loaded vehicle condition can be found on the tire inflation pressure label. The tire inflation pressure label is located on the inside of the fuel filler flap. The tire inflation pressure should be checked regularly and should only be adjusted on cold tires. Follow tire manufacturer’s maintenance recommendation included with the vehicle.

Rwith tires of identical characteristics all around, i.e. summer tires, winter tires, all-season tires, or MOExtended tires etc.
i The following pages also list the approved rim and tire sizes for equipping your vehicle with winter tires. Winter tires are not available as standard or optional factory equipment, but can be purchased from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Equipping your vehicle with winter tires approved for your vehicle model may require the purchase of rims of the recommended size for use with these winter tires. This depends on vehicle model and the standard or optional factory- equipped wheel rim/tire configuration on your vehicle. For more information contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Engine oil additives ! Do not blend oil additives with engine oil. They may damage the engine. Damage or malfunctions resulting from blending oil additives are not covered by the Mercedes- Benz Limited Warranty.
Air conditioning refrigerant R134a (HFC) refrigerant and special PAG lubricating oil are used in the air conditioning system. ! Never use R 12 (CFC) or mineral-based lubricating oil. Otherwise damage to the system will occur.
Brake fluid G Warning! During vehicle operation, the boiling point of the brake fluid is continuously reduced through the absorption of moisture from the atmosphere. Under extremely strenuous operating conditions, this moisture content can lead to the formation of bubbles in the system, thus reducing the system’s efficiency. Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s Maintenance Booklet for replacement interval. Only brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz is recommended. Any authorized Mercedes- Benz Center will provide you with additional information.
Premium unleaded gasoline G Warning! Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous. It burns violently and can cause serious personal injury. Never allow sparks, flames or smoking materials near gasoline! Turn off the engine before refueling. Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid inhaling fumes and any skin or clothing contact. Extinguish all smoking materials.
51 Restriction: Only SAE 0W-40/SAE 5W-40 engine oils may be used.

Version: 2.11.8.1
Direct skin contact with fuels and the inhalation of fuel vapors are damaging your health.
! To maintain the engine’s durability and performance, premium unleaded gasoline must be used. If premium unleaded gasoline is not available and low octane gasoline is used, follow these precautions: RHave the fuel tank only partially filled
with unleaded regular gasoline and fill up with premium unleaded gasoline as soon as possible.
RAvoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration.
RDo not exceed an engine speed of
3 000 rpm if the vehicle is loaded with a light load such as two persons and no luggage.
RDo not exceed 2/3 of maximum
accelerator pedal position if the vehicle is fully loaded or operating in mountainous terrain.
Fuel requirements Only use premium unleaded gasoline. The octane number (posted at the pump) must be 91 min. It is an average of both the Research Octane Number (RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON): (RON+MON)/2. This is also known as the ANTI-KNOCK INDEX. Reformulated gasolines (RFG) and/or unleaded gasoline containing oxygenates such as ethanol, TAME, ETBE, IPA, IBA, and TBA can be used provided the ratio of any one of these oxygenates to gasoline does not exceed 10%; MTBE must not exceed 15%. The ratio of methanol to gasoline must not exceed 3% plus additional cosolvents. Using mixtures of ethanol and methanol is not allowed. Gasohol, which contains 10%

ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline, can be used. These blends must also meet all other fuel requirements, such as resistance to spark knock, boiling range, vapor pressure, etc.
Diesel engine Only use commercially available vehicular ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (ULSD, 15 ppm SULFUR MAXIMUM) that meets the ASTM D975 standard. Failure to use ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (ULSD) can severely damage the vehicle’s exhaust after-treatment device. To prevent malfunctions, diesel fuel with improved cold flow characteristics is offered in the winter months. Check with your fuel retailer. ! Do not fill the tank with gasoline. Do not blend diesel fuel with gasoline or kerosene. The fuel system and engine will otherwise be damaged, which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
For further information on diesel fuel pump
labeling, contact an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center or visit www.mbusa.com (USA
only).
Biodiesel (FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester) containing fuels
Mercedes-Benz USA approves the use of B5
(standard ULSD which may contain a
maximum of 5% biodiesel) in all Common-rail
injection (CDI) and BlueTEC diesel engines.
Diesel fuels containing a higher percentage of
biodiesel, e.g. B20, as well as straight
biodiesel may cause severe damage to your
engine/fuel system and are not approved.
Please ask your service station personnel for
further information. If the B5 biodiesel blend
is not sufficiently labeled to clearly indicate
that it meets the ULSD standard, please do
not use it.

Gasoline additives A major concern among engine manufacturers is carbon build-up caused by gasoline. Mercedes-Benz recommends only the use of quality gasoline containing additives that prevent the build-up of carbon deposits. After an extended period of using fuels without such additives carbon deposits can build up, especially on the intake valves and in the combustion area, leading to engine performance problems such as: RWarm-up hesitation RUnstable idle RKnocking/pinging RMisfire RPower loss In areas where carbon deposits may be encountered due to lack of availability of gasoline which contains these additives, the use of Mercedes-Benz approved additives is recommended. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or visit www.mbusa.com (USA only) for a listing of approved products. Follow directions on the product label. Do not blend other fuel additives with fuel. This only results in unnecessary cost and may be harmful to the engine operation. ! Damage or malfunction resulting from
poor fuel quality or from blending additional fuel additives other than those tested and approved by us for use on Mercedes-Benz vehicles are not covered by the Mercedes- Benz Limited Warranty or by any pre-owned or Extended Limited Warranties.
AdBlue® AdBlue® is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless and odorless, water-soluble liquid. ! Only use AdBlue® complying with
ISO 22241. Do not blend with additives.
! Rinse surfaces that have come into
contact with AdBlue®, or remove AdBlue® with a moist cloth and cold water immediately. If AdBlue® has crystallized already, use cold water and a sponge. AdBlue® residues will crystallize and soil the affected surfaces.
High ambient temperatures If AdBlue® in the reservoir heats up to above 122‡ (50†) for a long period of time, for example due to direct sunlight, ammonia gas vapors may escape when opening the AdBlue® tank. G Warning! When opening the filler cap of the AdBlue® tank ammonia gas vapors may escape. Refill AdBlue® in a well ventilated area only. Ammonia gas vapors have a pungent odor and are particularly irritating for your skin, mucous membranes, and eyes. Inhaling ammonia gas vapors will cause burning eyes, nose, and throat, as well as coughing and watering eyes.
Low ambient temperatures AdBlue® freezes at a temperature of approximately 12‡ (-11†). Your vehicle is factory equipped with an AdBlue® preheating system. The vehicle can thus be operated at temperatures below 12‡ (-11†).
Special additives ! Only use AdBlue® complying with ISO 22241. Do not add additives to AdBlue® and do not dilute AdBlue® with

water. Otherwise, the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment system could be damaged. Damage caused by using additives or diluting with water are not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Purity The purity of AdBlue® is of particular importance for avoiding malfunctions in the exhaust gas aftertreatment. If AdBlue® is pumped out of the tank, e.g. during repair work, the same liquid must not be used to refill the tank as its purity is no longer guaranteed. ! Impurities caused for example by other
service products, cleaning agents, and dust result in increased emissions, malfunctions, catalyst damage, or engine damage.
Coolants The engine coolant is a mixture of water and anticorrosion/antifreeze, which provides: RCorrosion protection RFreeze protection RBoiling protection (by increasing the boiling
point)
The cooling system was filled at the factory with a coolant providing freeze protection to approximately -35‡ (-37†) and corrosion protection. ! Add premixed coolant solution only.
Adding water and MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/ Antifreeze separately from each other, could cause engine damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
If the antifreeze mixture is effective to -35‡ (-37†), the boiling point of the coolant in the pressurized cooling system is reached at approximately 266‡ (130†). The coolant solution must be used year round to provide the necessary corrosion protection
and increase boil-over protection. Refer to
the Maintenance Booklet for replacement
interval.
Coolant system design and coolant used
determine the replacement interval. The
replacement interval published in the
Maintenance Booklet is only applicable if
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze solution
or other Mercedes-Benz approved products
of equal specification are used to renew the
coolant concentration or bring it back up to
the proper level.
For information on other Mercedes-Benz
approved products of equal specification,
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
or visit www.mbusa.com (USA only).
To provide important corrosion protection,
the solution must be at least 50%
anticorrosion/antifreeze (equivalent to
freeze protection to approximately -35‡
[-37†]).
If you use a solution that is more than 55%
anticorrosion/antifreeze (freeze protection
to approximately -49‡ [-45†]), the engine
temperature will increase due to the lower
heat transfer capability of the solution.
Therefore, do not use more than this amount
of anticorrosion/antifreeze.
If the coolant level is low, water and MB 325.0
Anticorrosion/Antifreeze should be used to
bring it up to the proper level (have cooling
system checked for signs of leakage). Please
make sure the mixture is in accordance with
label instructions.
The water in the cooling system must meet
minimum requirements, which are usually
satisfied by normal drinking water.
If you are not sure about the water quality,
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Anticorrosion/antifreeze Your vehicle contains a number of aluminum parts. The use of aluminum components in motor vehicle engines necessitates that anticorrosion/antifreeze coolant used in
