Therefore, use only engine oils recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Information on recommended brands is available in the Factory Approved Service Products pamphlet, or at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center. Please follow Service Booklet recommendations for scheduled oil changes. Failure to do so could result in engine damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Engine oil additives Do not blend oil additives with engine oil. They may be harmful to the engine operation. Damage or malfunctions resulting from blending oil additives are not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Air conditioner refrigerant R-134a (HFC) refrigerant and special PAG lubricating oil is used in the air conditioner system. Never use R-12 (CFC) or mineral-based lubricating oil, otherwise damage to the system will occur. Brake fluid During vehicle operation, the boiling point of the brake fluid is continuously reduced through the absorption of moisture from the atmosphere. Under extremely hard operating conditions, this moisture content can lead to the formation of bubbles in the system thus reducing the system’s efficiency. The brake fluid must therefore be replaced every two years, preferably in the spring. It is recommended to use only brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz. Your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center will provide you with additional information.

September 2001 8:06 08 Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Fuels, coolants, lubricants etc. 364 Premium unleaded gasoline Caution! To maintain the engine’s durability and performance, premium unleaded gasoline must be used. If premium unleaded is not available and low octane fuel is used, follow these precautions: • have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular and fill up with premium unleaded as soon as possible, • avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration, • do not exceed an engine speed of 3000 rpm, if the vehicle is loaded with a light load such as two persons and no luggage, • do not exceed 2/3 of maximum accelerator pedal position, if the vehicle is fully loaded or operating in mountainous terrain. Fuel requirements Use only Premium unleaded meeting ASTM standard D 439: The octane number (posted at the pump) must be 91 min. It is an average of both the Research (R) octane number and the Motor (M) octane number: [(R+M)/2]. This is also known as ANTI-KNOCK INDEX. Unleaded gasoline containing oxygenates such as Ethanol, IPA, IBA and TBA can be used provided the ratio of any one of these oxygenates to gasoline does not exceed 10%, MTBE not to 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.. J_G463.book Seite 365 Mittwoch, 19. September 2001 8:06 08 Gasoline additives A major concern among engine manufacturers is carbon build up caused by gasoline. Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of only 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: • warm-up hesitation, • unstable idle, • knocking/pinging, • misfire, • power loss. Do not blend other specific fuel additives with fuel. They only result in unnecessary cost, and may be harmful to the engine operation. Damage or malfunctions resulting from poor fuel quality or from blending specific fuel additives are not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Coolants The engine coolant is a mixture of water and anticorrosion/antifreeze, which provides: • corrosion protection, • freeze protection, • boiling protection (by increasing the boiling point). The cooling system was filled at the factory with a coolant providing freeze protection to approximately -35°F (-37°C) and corrosion protection. If the antifreeze mixture is effective to -22°F (-30°C), the boiling point of the coolant in the pressurized cooling system is reached at approx. 266°F (130°C). The coolant solution must be used year round to provide the necessary corrosion protection and increase in the boil-over protection. You should have it replaced every 3 years. To provide the important corrosion protection, the solution must be at least 45% anticorrosion/antifreeze (equals a freeze protection to approx. - 22°F [-30°C]). If you use a solution that is more than 55% anticorrosion/ antifreeze (freeze protection to approx. - 49°F [-45°C])-, Fuels, coolants, lubricants etc. 365 Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index J_G463.book Seite 366 Mittwoch, 19. September 2001 8:06 08 Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Fuels, coolants, lubricants etc. 366 Before the start of the winter season (or once a year in the hot southern regions), you should have the anticorrosion/antifreeze concentration checked. The coolant is also regularly checked each time you bring your vehicle to your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center for service. Anticorrosion/antifreeze quantity Approx. freeze protection – 35°F – 49°F (– 45°C) (– 37°C) 5.5 US qt (5.2 l) 6.2 US qt (5.8 l) 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 anticorrosion/ antifreeze should be used to bring it up to the proper level (have cooling system checked for signs of leakage). The water in the cooling system must meet minimum requirements, which are usually satisfied by normal drinking water. If your are not sure about the water quality, consult your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck 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 such engines be specifically formulated to protect the aluminum parts. (Failure to use such anticorrosion/ antifreeze coolant will result in a significantly shortened service life.) Therefore the following product is strongly recommended for use in your vehicle: Mercedes-Benz Anticorrosion/antifreeze agent. J_G463.book Seite 367 Mittwoch, 19. September 2001 8:06 08 Consumer information This has been prepared as required of all manufactures of passenger cars under Title 49, Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575 pursuant to the “National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966”. Uniform tire quality grading Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Tread wear 200 Traction AA Temperature A All passenger vehicle tires must conform to federal safety requirements in addition to these grades. Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. Traction The traction grades, from highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Warning! The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

September 2001 8:06 08 Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Consumer information 368 Temperature The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning! The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause excessive heat build up and possible tire failure. J_G463.book Seite 369 Mittwoch, 19.
