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.

6Siphon off any excess engine oil.
If too much oil is added, ther eis a risk
of damage to the engine or the catalyt-

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

chnical data
Service products and capacities
The following values indicate the various
total cooling system capacities.
Co rrosion in hibitorand antifreeze
concentration for antifreeze protection down to –45 °C (55%)
The coolant is a mixture of water, corro-
sion inhibitor and antifreeze. It performs
the following functions in the coo
ling sys-
tem:
! Anti-corrosion protection
! Antifreeze protection
! Raising the boiling point !
Always use a suitable coolan t–even in
co untri eswith high temperature s.
If you do not do so, the cooling system will not be
suffici ently protected from corrosion, and the
boiling point wil lbe too low. If antifreeze
/corrosion inhibitor is present
in the correct concentration, the boiling
point of the coolant will be around 130 °C. Coolant

422 Technical terms
Emergency spare wheel Narrow spare wheel which is lighter
and takes up less space than a full-
sized spare wheel.
EN 228 European standard for unleaded petrol.
Engine control system Controls the various engine functions,
e.g. the engine speed.
Engine number Number determined by the manufac-
turer and marked on the cylinder
crankcase, by which each engine can
be clearly identified.
Engine oil viscosity Measure of the internal oil friction (vis-
cosity) at different temperatures. The
higher the temperature the oil can tol-
erate without thinning too much, or the
lower the temperature it can tolerate
without thickening too much, the bet-
ter the viscosity characteristics of the
oil. ESP
(E le
ctronic S tability P ro
gram)
Improves driving stability and ->trac-
tion when cornering and in emergency
situat ions, e.g. when there is a risk of
skidding.
GPS (G lo
ba l P ositioning S ystem)
Syste mfor determining geographical
location. A GPS unit located in the vehi-
cle receives satellite signals, compares
them to a digital map (e.g. on CD ROM)
and uses them to det ermine the posi-
tion of the vehicle and for navigation
pur poses.
GSM (G lo
ba l S ystem for M obile Communica-
tions)
International communication standard
for mob ile phones. Thanks to this uni-
form standard, you can also use your
mobile phone abroad. The transmis-
sion method is digital. Head/thorax airbag
This ty peofairbag isloca tedin the
backrests of the front seats and behind
the side panel inthe rear of the vehicle
and pr otects the occupants in the
event ofa side impact. It provides pro-
tection to the head area inaddition to
that provided by the sidebag.
Headlam p range control
Adjusts the headlamps according to ve-
hicle load, so that onco ming traffic is
not dazzled.
Heat erbooster system
Provides additional heat in the vehicle
interior on vehicles with a diesel en-
gine.
Instrum ent cluster
Displays and indicator lamps in the
driver's field of vision, e.g. the rev
counter, the speedometer and the fuel
gauge. 209en_d2.boo Seite
