336 Introduction to technical dat
a
i The technical data was determined in
accordance with EU directives. All data
applies to the vehicle's standard equip-
ment. The data may therefore differ for
vehicles with optional equipment. You can
obtain further information from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and con-
version parts and accessories which have
been specifically approved for your vehicle for
their reliability, safety and suitability.
Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-
Benz is unable to evaluate other parts.
Mercedes-Benz therefore accepts no respon-
sibility for the use of such parts in Mercedes-
Benz vehicles, even if they have been
independently or officially approved.
In Germany and some other countries, certain
parts are only officially approved for installa-
tion or modification if they comply with legal
requirements. All genuine Mercedes-Ben z
parts meet this requirement.
Observe the suitability of replacement parts
for your vehicle. In many countries, certain
parts which result in a modification to the
vehicle could invalidate the vehicle's general
operating permit . This is the case if:
R
they cause a change of the vehicle typ e
from that for which the vehicle's genera l
operating permit was granted
R other road users could be endangered
R the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected
The use of non-approved parts could affec t
your vehicle's operating safety. Mercedes -
Benz therefore recommends genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts and conversion parts
and accessories that have been approved for
your vehicle . H

e
DaimlerChrysler also supplies recondi-
tioned assemblies and parts which are of
the same quality as new parts. For these ,
the same liability for material defects
applies as with new parts.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and approved
conversion parts and accessories are availa -
ble from Mercedes-Benz Service Centres.
There, you can also receive advice about tech-
nical modifications and have the parts pro-
fessionally fitted.

Risk of accident
Only have work on the engine electronics
and related components carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
The vehicle's roadworthiness could other-
wise be affected.
! Only have work done on the engine elec-
tronics and its associated parts, such as
control units, sensors and connector leads,
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. Otherwise, vehicle components
may wear more quickly and the vehicle may
lose its liability for material defects and its
operating permit. Retrofitting electrical and electronic
equipment
Electrical and electronic equipment can jeop-
ardise the operating safety of your vehicle. If
equipment of this kind is retrofitted, it must
be type-approved and bear the emark. The
e mark may be obtained from the equipment
manufacturer or an authorised testing centre.
! Damage or consequential damage arising
from fitting equipment not approved
by Mercedes-Benz is not covered under the
Mercedes-Benz liability for materia l
defects.
If you wish to install two-way radios in the
vehicle, you must obtain formal approval.
Mercedes-Benz approves the installation of
two-way radios if such equipment is installed
professionally and a low-reflection exterior
aerial is used.
The transmission output of the two-way radio
must not exceed the maximum transmission
outputs listed. G
Risk of accident
Two-way radios may interfere with the vehi-
cle electronics and thereby jeopardise the
operational safety of the vehicle and your
own safety if: Technical data

Notes on service products and capaci-
ties
Service products are:
R Fuels (e.g. petrol, diesel)
R Lubricants (e.g. engine oil, transmission oil)
R Coolan t
R Brake fluid
R Windscreen washer fluid
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use those products which have been tested
and specially approved by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle and are listed in the Mercedes-
Benz Owner's Manual in the relevant chapter
since:
R parts and service products are matched
R damage caused by the use of non-approved
service products is not covered by the lia-
bility for material defect s
You can recognise service products approved
by Mercedes-Benz by the following inscrip-
tion on the containers:
R MB-Freigabe (e.g. MB-Freigabe 229.51)
R MB Approval (e.g. MB Approval 229.51) Other designations or recommendations that
relate to a level of quality or a specification in
accordance with an MB Approval have not
necessarily been approved by Mercedes-
Benz.
You can obtain further information from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. G
Risk of injury
When handling, storing and disposing of
any service products, please observe the
relevant regulations, as you could other-
wise endanger yourself and others.
Keep service products away from children.
To protect your health, do not allow service
products to come into contact with your
eyes or open wounds. See a doctor imme-
diately if any service product is swallowed. H
Environmental not
e
Dispose of service products in an environ-
mentally-responsible manner. Fuel
s G
Risk of explosion
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames
and smoking are therefore prohibited when
handling fuels.
Switch off the engine before refuelling. G
Risk of injury
Do not allow fuel to come into contact with
skin or clothing .
Allowing fuels to come into direct contact
with your skin or inhaling fuel vapours is
damaging to your health.

system. Damage resulting from adding the
wrong fuel is not covered by the warranty.
More information about refuelling and fuels
can be found in the "Operation" section. Notes on fuel consumption
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in
the following situations: R
At very low temperatures
R In urban traffic
R On short trips
R When towing a trailer
R In mountainous terrain
! Do not use any special additives, as they
can cause malfunctions and engine dam-
age. Damages resulting from the use of
such additives are not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz warranty. H
Environmental not
e
CO 2(carbon dioxide) is the gas which sci-
entists believe to be principally responsible
for global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your vehicle's CO
2emissions are directly
related to fuel consumption and therefore
depend on:
R efficient use of the fuel by the engin e
R driving style
R other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle's CO 2emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly. Technical data
