They burn violently and can cause serious injury. Never allow sparks, flames or smoking materials near gasoline or diesel fuel! Turn off the engine before refueling. Whenever you are around gasoline or diesel fuel, avoid inhaling fumes and any skin or clothing contact. Extinguish all smoking materials. Direct skin contact with fuels and the inhalation of fuel vapors are damaging your health.
Premium-grade unleaded gasoline ! To ensure the longevity and full
performance of the engine, only premium- grade unleaded gasoline must be used.
If premium-grade unleaded gasoline is unavailable and regular gasoline is used, observe the following precautions: Ronly fill the fuel tank to half full with
regular unleaded gasoline and add the rest as soon as possible with premium- grade unleaded gasoline.
Rdo not drive at the maximum speed. Ravoid sudden acceleration. Rwhen the vehicle is carrying a light cargo, e.g. two passengers without luggage, do not allow the engine to rev above 3000 rpm.
Rwhen the vehicle is fully loaded or being operated in mountainous terrain, do not depress the accelerator pedal further than 2/3 of the pedal travel.
Fuel requirements Gasoline engines Use only premium-grade unleaded gasoline. The octane number should be at least 91. Details can be found on the gas pump. The

Version: 3.0.3.6octane number is the average value of the Research Octane Number (RON) and Motor Octane Number (MON): (RON + MON) / 2, also known as knock resistance. Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) and/or unleaded gasoline with additives can be used if the concentration of the additives in the fuel does not exceed 10%, e.g.: REthanol RTAME RETBE RIPA RTBA For MTBE, the concentration should not exceed 15%. The concentration of methanol in gasoline including other additives must not exceed 3%. Using mixtures of methanol and ethanol is not permitted. Gasohol, a mixture of 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline can be used. All of these mix fuels must fulfill the fuel requirements, e.g.: Rknock resistance Rboiling point Rvapor pressure Diesel engines – important safety information ! Only use commercially available ULTRA- LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL (ULSD, 15 ppm MAXIMUM SULFUR) that meets the ASTM D975 standard. Failure to use ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL (ULSD) can severely damage the vehicle's exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
! Do not fill the tank with gasoline. Do not blend diesel fuel with gasoline or kerosene. Otherwise, the fuel system and the engine will be damaged. Damage resulting from the use of gasoline or kerosene is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

the winter months. Check with your fuel retailer. Information on the fuel grade can usually be found on the gas pump. If the information cannot be found on the gas pump, ask service station personnel. For further information, contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or visit http://www.mbusa.com (USA only). Diesel engines – Fuels containing bio- diesel (FAME [fatty acid methyl ester]) Mercedes-Benz USA approves the use of B5
(ULSD with a maximum of up to five percent by volume biodiesel) for all diesel engines with common rail direct injection (CDI) and BlueTEC. Pure biodiesel and diesel fuels that contain a higher percentage of biodiesel, e.g. B20, may cause damage to the fuel system/engine and are, therefore, not approved. For further information, please ask the service station personnel. The label on the gas pump must indicate clearly that the B5
biodiesel blend meets the ULSD standard. If the label is not clear, do not refuel the vehicle. The Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty does not cover damages caused by the use of fuels not meeting Mercedes-Benz approved fuel standards.Additives in gasoline One of the major problems in engine design is the creation of carbon deposits during the process of burning fuel. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use fuel brands that have the additives which prevent the build up of carbon deposits. If you use fuels without these additives for a longer period of time, there may be a build up of carbon deposits, especially on the inlet valves and in the combustion chamber. This could lead to engine running problems, e.g.: 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, Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of additives approved for use in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or visit http://www.mbusa.com (USA only) to view a list of approved products. Observe the instructions for use on the product label. Do not mix other fuel additives with fuel. This causes unnecessary costs and could damage the engine. ! Do not refuel with low-grade fuel and do not use fuel additives that are not tested and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Damage or malfunctions can result that are not covered: Rby the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty Rby an existing Limited Warranty Rby an extended Limited Warranty
DEF Important safety notes i For BlueTEC vehicles only. AdBlue® is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless, odorless and water-soluble fluid. ! Only use AdBlue® that complies with
ISO 22241. Do not add any special additives to AdBlue® and do not thin AdBlue® with water. This could destroy the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment. ! Rinse surfaces that have come into
contact with AdBlue® immediately with water or remove AdBlue® using a damp cloth and cold water. If the AdBlue® has already crystallized, use a sponge and cold water to clean it. AdBlue® residues
crystallize after time and contaminate the affected surfaces.
High outside temperatures If AdBlue® is heated to above 122 ‡ (50 †) for an extended period of time, e.g. due to direct sunlight on the AdBlue® tank, AdBlue® may start to decompose. Ammonia vapors develop as a result. 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 outside temperatures AdBlue® freezes at a temperature of approximately 12 ‡ (-11 †). The vehicle is equipped with an AdBlue® preheating system at the factory. Winter operation can thus be guaranteed even at temperatures below 12 ‡ (-11 †).
Additives ! Use only AdBlue® complying with ISO
22241. Do not use any additives with AdBlue® and do not thin AdBlue® with water. This may destroy the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment system. Damage resulting from the use of additives or water is not covered by the Mercedes- Benz Limited Warranty.
Purity Assuring the purity of AdBlue® is particularly important with respect to avoiding malfunctions in the exhaust gas aftertreatment system.

Version: 3.0.3.6If AdBlue® is pumped out of the AdBlue® tank, e.g. during repair work, it must not be returned to the tank. The purity of the fluid can no longer be guaranteed. ! Impurities in AdBlue®, e.g. due to other service products, cleaning agents or dust, lead to increased emission values, system malfunctions, catalytic converter damage or damage to the BlueTEC system.
Engine oil Points to remember The engine oils are matched to the performance of Mercedes-Benz engines and service intervals. For this reason, only use engine oils and oil filters that are approved for vehicles with a service system. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or visit http://www.mbusa.com (USA only) for a list of approved engine oils and oil filters. ! Never use engine oil or an oil filter of a specification other than is necessary to fulfill the prescribed service intervals. Do not change the engine oil or oil filter in order to achieve longer replacement intervals than those prescribed. Otherwise, you may cause damage to the engine or exhaust gas aftertreatment; this is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Follow the instructions in the service interval display regarding the oil change. Otherwise, you may damage the engine and the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Mercedes-Benz recommends MOBIL OIL. The table shows which engines oil have been approved for your vehicle.

Lubricant additives ! Do not mix any lubricant additives with
the engine oil. This could damage the engine. Damage resulting from the use of such lubricant additives in the engine oil is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Engine oil viscosity Viscosity describes the flow characteristics of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity, this means that it is thick; a low viscosity means that it is thin. Using the table below, make sure that the SAE classification (viscosity) is sufficient for the temperatures at which the vehicle is operated. The low temperature characteristics of engine oils can deteriorate significantly, e.g. by aging, soot and fuel deposits. It is therefore recommended that you carry out oil changes regularly using an approved engine oil with the appropriate SAE classification.
52 USA only. 53 Restriction: only SAE 0W-40 or SAE 5W-40 engine oils may be used.

Coolant Important safety notes The coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following tasks: Ranti-corrosion protection Rantifreeze protection Rraising the boiling point The cooling system is filled with coolant at the factory which contains antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor that ensures protection down to approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †). ! Only add coolant that has been premixed with the desired antifreeze protection. You could otherwise damage the engine. Further information on coolants and on filling can be found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products, MB Approval 310.1, e.g. on the Internet at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. You can also consult an authorized Mercedes- Benz Center.
! Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures prevail. Otherwise, the cooling system will not be sufficiently protected from corrosion, and the boiling point will be too low.
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down to -35 ‡ (-37 †), the boiling point of the coolant in the pressurized system is approximately 266 ‡ (130 †). Your vehicle has a range of aluminum components. Use of aluminum components in the engine make it necessary to specifically match the antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor in these systems in order to protect the aluminum parts. Using other antifreeze/ corrosion inhibitors without these characteristics affects the service life. The coolant must be used throughout the year in order to maintain the necessary corrosion protection and provide protection from
Refrigerant of the air-conditioning system The air-conditioning system is filled with R134a refrigerant and a special PAG lubricant. ! Never use refrigerant R 12 (CFC) or
mineral lubricants. Otherwise, you could damage the air-conditioning system.
Brake fluid G Warning! The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling point. If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when driving downhill). This would impair braking efficiency. You should have the brake fluid renewed at regular intervals. The brake fluid change intervals can be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes- Benz. Information about approved brake fluids can be obtained from any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Version: 3.0.3.6overheating. In the Service Booklet, you can find information on the intervals for renewal. The renewal interval is determined by the coolant type and the cooling system design. The renewal interval in the Service Booklet is only valid if the coolant is added or renewed with Mercedes-Benz approved products. Therefore, only use MB 326.0 antifreeze/ corrosion inhibitor or another Mercedes-Benz approved product of the same specification. Information on other Mercedes-Benz approved products of the same specification can be obtained at any authorized Mercedes- Benz Center or on the Internet at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. The coolant is checked at every service date at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentration in the cooling system should: Rbe at least 50%. This will protect the cooling
system against freezing down to around -35 ‡ (-37 †).
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -49 ‡ (-45 †); otherwise, heat will not be dissipated as effectively.
If the coolant level is too low, MB 326.0
antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor should be added. Have the cooling system checked for leaks.Windshield and headlamp cleaning system G Warning Washer solvent/antifreeze is highly flammable. Do not spill washer solvent/ antifreeze on hot engine parts, because it may ignite and burn. You could be seriously burned.
