Risk of accident
Only have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted 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.
! If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
changes to the cooling system may be nec-
essary, depending on the vehicle type.
If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
observe the anchorage points on the chas-
sis frame. Saloon

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

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.

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
