Operating systemi
The table overview of the menus contains
gene ric terms which are not always sho wninthe
operating system. The appropriate generic term
should make it easier for you tofamiliarise your-
se lf with the menu s.
The operating system displays the new function
range with the first menu function.
In the case of the Audio 10, Audio 10CD*
and Audio 30APS* audio systems, the
operating system displays the audio and
telephone menus in English. The display
for these menus is independent of the lan-
guage selected as your display language. In
its basic state, you can see the current
outside temperature and the trip meter in
the multi-function displ ay. This is called
the standard display.

Refuell
ing
CLK 200 CGI, CLK 55 AMG:
Super un leaded sulphur-free petrol with
am inimum octane rating of 98 RON /
88 MON.
i As a very temporary meas ure, you may
also use premium unleaded petrol, 95 RON /
85 MON. This may reduce power and increase
petrol consumption. Av oid the use of full throttle.
! The following mayle ad to increased wear or
engine damage:
! The use ofpetrol which does not com ply with
EN 228
! The useof fuel additives
The use offue lsand /orfuel addit iveswhich
have not been approved may result inlimitation
of warrant yrights. Leaded petrol
You may fill up
with leaded petrol incoun-
tries where unleaded petrol is not availa-
ble. This shortens the interval for replacing
spark pl ugs to 20,000 km.
6 Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre before using leaded petrol.
! Leaded petrol damages the catalytic con-
verter and the Lambda probe.
If you exceed theinte rval for replacing the spark
plu gs, this ma y cause increased wear and engine
damage.
You may obtain furthe rinformation from any
Mercede s-Be nz Service Centre. i
You will generally find inf ormation about the
diesel grade on the filling pump. If not, askth e
filling station attenda nt.
We recommend having the engine oil
change devery 7,500 km in countries
where only diesel fuel with a sulphur con-
tent exceeding 0.5 percent by weight is
available.
! Use of the following may lead toincreased
we ar or engine damage:
! Diesel which does not compl ywith EN 590
! Marine diesel fuel
! Heating oil
! Vegetable oil methyl ester (VOME)
! Fuel additives ("b iodiesel", FAME fue ls)
The use of fuels an d/or fuel additives which
have not bee napproved may result in limitation
of warranty right s. Diesel (EN 590)209en_d2.boo Seite

Operation
Winter driving
Have your vehicle winterproofed at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, at the on-
set of winter. This servi ceincludes the fol-
lo wi ng:
! Engine oil change,
if the current oil used has not been
approved for winter use
! The antifreeze /anti-corrosion
concentration is checked
! A concentrated cleanin gagent is
added to the windscreen and headl amp
cleaning system fluid*
! The battery is checked
! A tyre change Us
ewinter tyres at temperatures below
+7 °C and on snow or ice-covered roads.
Th e maximum effect of the ABS and ESP
dri ving systems is on lyachieved in win ter
with these tyr es.
Us ewinter tyres of the same make and
tread on all wheels to maintain safe han-
dling characteristics. Always observe the maximum permitted
speed sp
ecified for the winter tyres you
have fitted. If you fit winter tyres whi ch
have a lower maximu mpermitt ed speed
than that of the vehicle, affix an appropri-
ate warning sign in the driver's field of
vision. This ca nbe obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
In such circumstances, you should also
restrict the maximum speed of the vehicle
to the maximum permitted speed for the
winter tyres using permanent Speedtronic
( = pa ge 211). Winter dri

Risk of accident You must re
place wint ertyres with tread
de pth sof less than 4 mm immediately.
These tyres are no tsuitable for use in winter
an d do not provide sufficient grip. You could
therefore lose control of the vehicle and
cause an accide nt. 209en_d2.boo Seite

gear shifts. The trans
mission is losing oil. 6
Have the tran smission checked immedi-
ately at a qualified speci alist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. The acceleration capability is deteriorat-
ing.
The transmission no
longer changes gear. The trans
mission is in emergency mode.
You can only shift to 2ndgearor reverse

Stop the vehicle.
6 Move the selector le ver to P.
6 Switch off the engine.
6 Wait at least ten seconds before restart-
ing the engine.
6 Move the selector lever to position D
or R.
In position D, the transmission shifts to
2nd gear,in Rit shifts to reverse gear.

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.
The headlamp cleaning system and the
windscreen washer system do not
freeze. Brake fluid
G
Riskofaccident If the boiling
point of the brake fluid is too
low, vapour pockets may fo rmin the brake
system when the brak esare applied hard
(e.g. when driving dow nhill). This would im-
