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 If the outside temperature is below 32 ‡ (0 †), the starting procedure can take noticeably longer when operating with E85
fuel. E85 fuel is not suitable for use at outside temperatures under -4 ‡ (-20 †).


DEF Important safety notes Comply with the important safety notes for service products when handling DEF (Y page 418). DEF is a water-soluble fluid for the exhaust gas aftertreatment of diesel engines. It is: Rnot poisonous Rcolorless and odorless Rnot flammable When you open the DEF container, small amounts of ammonia vapor may be released. Ammonia vapors have a pungent odor and are particularly irritating to the skin, to mucous membranes and to the eyes. You may experience a burning sensation in your eyes, nose and throat. Coughing and watering of the eyes are possible. Do not inhale ammonia vapors. Fill the DEF tank only in well-ventilated areas.


Low outside temperatures DEF freezes at a temperature of approximately 12 ‡ (-11 †). The vehicle is delivered from the factory equipped with a DEF preheating system. Winter operation can thus be guaranteed even 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

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 classification (viscosity) 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 therefore strongly recommended that you carry out regular oil changes using an approved engine oil with the appropriate SAE classification.


Brake fluid G WARNING The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture from the air. This lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid. 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. This would impair braking efficiency. There is a risk of an accident. You should have the brake fluid renewed at the specified intervals.


Comply with the important safety notes for service products when handling brake fluid (Y page 418). 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 regularly replaced at


a qualified specialist workshop and the replacement confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.


Coolant Important safety notes G WARNING If antifreeze comes into contact with hot components in the engine compartment, it may ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury. Let the engine cool down before you add antifreeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clean the antifreeze from components before starting the engine.


! 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.


i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a


qualified specialist workshop and the replacement confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.


424 Service products and filling capacities


Comply with the important safety precautions for service products when handling coolant (Y page 418). 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. i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is filled with a coolant mixture that ensures adequate antifreeze and corrosion protection.


i The coolant is checked with every maintenance interval at a qualified specialist workshop.
