! To ensure the longevity and full
performance of the engine, only premium- grade unleaded gasoline may be used. If there is no premium-grade unleaded gasoline available and regular unleaded gasoline must be used, please observe the following precautions: Ronly fill the fuel tank to half full with
regular unleaded gasoline and fill the rest
408 Service products and filling capacities
with premium-grade unleaded gasoline as soon as possible.
Rdo not drive at the maximum speed. Ravoid sudden acceleration. Rif the vehicle is carrying a light load, e.g. two passengers without luggage, do not allow the engine to rev above 3000 rpm.
Rif the vehicle is fully loaded or is being
operated in mountainous terrain, do not depress the accelerator pedal further than Ô of the pedal travel.
Only refuel using premium-grade unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 91. Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) and/or unleaded gasoline with additives can be used. The concentration of additives in the fuel, however, must 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, may be used. All of these mix fuels must fulfill the fuel requirements, e.g.: Rknock resistance Rboiling point Rvapor pressure You will usually find information about the fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label on the pump, ask the staff for assistance. i For further information, consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or on the Internet at http://www.mbusa.com (USA only).
Information on refueling (Y page 170). Additives ! Do not refuel with low-grade fuel and do not use fuel additives that are not tested and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Damage to or malfunctions of the fuel system may otherwise occur.
One of the main problems of poor fuel quality is the forming of deposits that are created during the gasoline combustion process. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use branded fuels that have additives. If you use fuels without these additives over a longer period of time, carbon deposits may build up. These deposits form at the inlet valves and in the combustion chamber in particular. This could lead to engine problems, e.g.: Rlonger engine warm-up phase Runeven idle Rengine noise Rmisfiring Rloss of power Carbon deposits may form if the availability of gasoline with relevant additives is insufficient (in certain regions). In this case, Mercedes-Benz recommends additives approved for use in Mercedes-Benz vehicles; see http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. For a list of approved products, consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Comply with 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.
Diesel Fuel grade G WARNING Do not use gasoline to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine. Never mix diesel with gasoline. This causes damage to the fuel system and

engine and could result in the vehicle catching fire.
! Only use commercially available vehicular ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL (ULSD, 15 ppm maximum sulfur content) that meets the ASTM D975 standard. If you do not refuel with ULSD, you may damage the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment system of the vehicle.
! Do not use gasoline to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine. Do not mix diesel fuel with gasoline, kerosene or paraffin. This may otherwise result in damage to the fuel system and engine.
You will usually find information about the fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label on the pump, ask the staff for assistance. i For further information, consult a
qualified specialist workshop or on the Internet at http://www.mbusa.com (USA only).
Information on refueling (Y page 170). Low outside temperatures i Diesel fuel with improved cold flow
properties is available during the winter months. Further information about fuel properties can be obtained from oil companies, e.g. at gas stations.
Flow improver To improve the low-temperature resistance of diesel fuel, a flow improver can be attached. The effectiveness of a flow improver is not guaranteed for every fuel. Only use flow improvers tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz. During use, please observe the information on operation. Correct dosage and sufficient mixing are decisive in improving low-temperature resistance with the flow improver. Overdosage can potentially even decrease low-temperature resistance and must
therefore be avoided. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines on dosage. Mix the additive into the diesel in good time, before the flow characteristics of the diesel become insufficient. Otherwise, malfunctions can arise through heating the fuel system, e.g. through parking in a heated garage. More information about recommended flow improvers can be obtained from any qualified specialist workshop.
Flexible fuel vehicles Important safety notes G WARNING E85 fuel (ethanol) and its vapours are poisonous, highly flammable and highly combustible. E85 fuel can cause serious injury if ignited, if you come into contact with it you or if you inhale fuel vapors. Avoid inhaling E85 fuel vapors and avoid skin contact with E85 fuel. Extinguish any naked flames before refueling. Keep sparks away from E85 fuel, and do not smoke.
Flexible Fuel vehicles can be refueled with the following fuel types: Rpremium-grade unleaded gasoline RE85 fuel Ra mixture of E85 fuel and premium-grade
unleaded gasoline
i Flexible Fuel vehicles can be recognized by the Ethanol up to E85 sticker on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
Fuel consumption The energy content of E85 fuel is less than that of the same amount of premium-grade gasoline. The amount of fuel consumed when operating the vehicle with E85 fuel is therefore higher than with premium-grade gasoline.

Maintenance Inform your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center that you are operating or have operated the vehicle with E85 fuel. Low outside temperatures The starting procedure may take much longer when operating the vehicle with E85 fuel at outside temperatures below 32 ‡ (0 †). E85 fuel is not suitable for use at outside temperatures below -4 ‡ (-20 †).
DEF General notes DEF is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless, odorless and water-soluble fluid.
High outside temperatures G WARNING If you open the DEF tank cap, small amounts of ammonia vapor may be released. This depends in particular upon the age of the DEF. Ammonia vapors have a pungent odor and are particularly irritating to: Rskin Rmucous membranes Reyes You may experience a burning sensation in your eyes, nose and throat, as well as coughing and watering of the eyes. Do not inhale any ammonia vapors that may be released. Fill the DEF tank only in well- ventilated areas.
Low outside temperatures DEF freezes at a temperature of approximately 12 ‡ (-11 †). The vehicle is equipped with a DEF preheating system when it leaves the factory. Winter operation is therefore also guaranteed at temperatures below 12 ‡ (-11 †).
Additives ! Only use DEF in accordance with ISO
22241. Do not use additives with DEF and do not dilute DEF with water. This may destroy the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
Purity ! Impurities in DEF (e.g. due to other
service products, cleaning agents or dust) lead to: Rincreased emission values Rdamage to the catalytic converter Rengine damage Rmalfunctions in the BlueTEC exhaust gas
aftertreatment system
Assuring the purity of DEF is particularly important with respect to avoiding malfunctions in the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment system. If DEF is pumped out of the DEF tank, e.g. during repair work, it must not be returned to the tank. The purity of the fluid can no longer be guaranteed.

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. Select an engine oil with an SAE (viscosity) classification suitable for the prevailing outside temperatures. The table shows you which SAE classifications are to be used. The low-temperature characteristics of engine oils can deteriorate significantly, e.g. as a result of aging, soot and fuel deposits. It is
412 Service products and filling capacities
therefore strongly recommended that you carry out regular oil changes using an approved engine oil with the appropriate SAE classification.
Brake fluid G WARNING Over a period of time, the brake fluid 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 Maintenance Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes- Benz according to MB Approval 331.0. Information about approved brake fluid can be obtained at any qualified specialist workshop or on the Internet at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. i Have the brake fluid renewed regularly at
a qualified specialist workshop.
Coolant Important safety notes G WARNING Antifreeze is highly flammable. Fire, open flames and smoking are prohibited when handling antifreeze. If antifreeze comes into contact with hot engine parts, it may ignite and you could burn yourself. Do not spill any antifreeze on hot engine parts.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed with the desired antifreeze protection. You could otherwise damage the engine. Further information on coolants can be found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products, MB Specifications for Service Products 310.1, e.g. on the Internet at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. Or contact a qualified specialist workshop. ! Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures prevail. Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not sufficiently protected from corrosion and overheating.
The coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following tasks: Rcorrosion protection Rantifreeze protection Rraising the boiling point If the coolant has antifreeze protection down to -35 ‡ (-37 †), the boiling point of the coolant during operation is approximately 266 ‡ (130 †). The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentration in the engine cooling system should: Rbe at least 50%. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †).
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -49 ‡ [-45 †]). Otherwise, heat will not be dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, add equal amounts of water and antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentrate in accordance with MB Specifications for Service Products 310.1. The coolant is checked with every maintenance interval at a qualified specialist workshop.
