240 Operation
The first 1,500 km
You will find detailed information about
operating, maintaining and caring for your
vehicle in the "Operation" section. If you treat the engine with sufficient care
from the very start, it will reward you with
excellent performance for a very long peri-
od afterwards.
! You should therefore drive at varying
road and engine speeds for the first
1,50 0km.
! Avoid heavy loads during this time, e.g.
driving at full throttle. Do not exceed
2
/ 3 of the permissible maximum engine
speed for each gear (red area in the rev
cou nter).
! Change gea rin good time.
! Donot change down a gea rmanua lly in
order to brake.
Ve hic les wit hau tomatic transmission*
! Only use rang es 3,2or 1for slow driv-
ing, e.g. in mountainous terrain.
! It is best to use drive program Cfor
comfort mode. Vehicles wit
hautomatic transmission*
! Tryt o avoid depressing the accelerator
pedal beyond the pressure point (kick-
down).
After 1,500 km you may gradually bring
the veh icle up to full road and engine
speeds.
Additional driving tips for AM Gveh icles
! Do not exceed 140 km /hduring the
first 1,500 km.
! Only bring the engine up to the maxi-
mum engine speed of 4,50 0rpm for
sh ort periods.
i Theseguidelines also apply if a new engine
or rear-axle differential has bee nfitted to your
vehicle. Th

message disappears.
On vehicles with the same size wheels at
the front and rear, the wheels can be inter-
changed every 5,000 to 10,000 km, de-
pend ing on the degree of tyre wear. The
same direction of rotation must be main-
tained. The front and rear wheels wear differently,
depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the
wheels before too definite
a wear pattern forms on the tyres. The
front tyres typically wear more on the out-
er shoul der, and the rear tyres in the cen-
tre of the tread.
Each time you interchange the wheels,
you should clean the contact areas on the
wheels and brake discs thoroughly. Check
the tyre pressures. Interchanging wh

Risk of accident Interchange th

Turn the jack back to its initial position
and return it and the rest of the vehicle
toolkit to the boot.
You can only use the MOE emergency run-
flat system in conjunction with the tyre
pressure loss warning.
! The maximum distance you may cover in
run-flat mode depends on the vehicle load. It is
50 km if the vehicle is partially laden and 30 km
if it is fully laden.
The maximum distance that may be drive nin run-
flat mode begins from the time the tyre pressure
loss warning appears in the multi-function dis-
play.
Yo u must not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km /h. P 40.10-2740-31 G
Risk of accident The wheel bolts may work loose if they are
not tightene dto a tightening torque of
11 0Nm . For this reason, you should have
the tightening torque checked as soonas
possible after a wheel change. MOE

416 Technical data
Service products and capacities
The antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor con-
centration in the cooling system should:
! be at least 50%. This will pro tect the
cool ing sy stem against freezing down
to approximately –37 °C.
! not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to –45 °C), since the heat is then
not dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with
equal parts of water and an antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use an antifreeze and cor-
rosion inhibitor which has been approved
for Mercedes-Benz.
! The co oling system has a permanent supply
which must be renewed after 15 years or
250,000 km at the most.
Merc edes-Be nzrecommends that you use an an-
tifreeze and cor rosion inhibitor which has been
appr oved for Mercedes-Benz. Over a period of time, the brake fluid ab-
sorbs moisture from the air; this reduces
its boiling point.

There is usually a notice in the engine com-
partment to remind you when the next brakeflu-
id change is due. The windscreen washer reservoir holds
approximately
3litres on all models with
aw indscreen washe rsystem. On models
with a heated windscreen washer fluid res-
ervoir ora headlamp cleaning system*, the
re servoir holds 6litres.
The head lamp cleaning system* and the
windscreen washer system have a com-
mon supply from the windscreen washer
fl uid reservoir.
6 Fill the windscreen washer fluid reser-
voirwith a solution of water and wind-
screen washer concentrate. Adapt the
mix ing ratio to sui tthe outsi detemper-
atures.
The windscreen wipers leave no marks.
