Service products and capacities
276 Service products and capacities
Notes on service products and capaci-
ties
Service products are:
R fuels (e.g. petrol, diesel)
R lubricants (e.g. engine oil, transmission oil,
grease)
R coolant
R brake 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 Specifications for Service Products
since:
R parts and service products are matched.
R damage caused by the use of non-approved
service products is not covered by the war-
ranty
You can obtain further information from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. G
Risk of accident
When handling, storing and disposing of
any service products, please observe the
relevant regulations. Failure to do so could endanger other persons and the environ-
ment.
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 note
Dispose of service products in an environ-
mentally-responsible manner. Fuels
G
Risk of explosion
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames
and smoking are therefore prohibited when
handling fuels.
Before refuelling, turn off the engine and
the auxiliary heating*. 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. Tank capacity Total capacity Approximately 96 l
Of which reserve

Approximately 13 l
!
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a
diesel engine. Do not use diesel to refuel
vehicles with a petrol engine. Never mix
diesel with petrol. Even small amounts of
the wrong fuel result in damage to the
injection 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. Technical data

277Notes 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
The consumption figures have been deter-
mined according to EU Directive
RL 80 /1268 /EEC.
i Only for certain countries: the respective
current consumption and emission values of your vehicle can be found in the COC
papers (EC CERTIFICATE OF CONFORM-
ITY). These documents are supplied when
the vehicle is delivered.
! Do not use any special additives, as they
can cause malfunctions and engine dam-
age. Damage resulting from the use of such
additives is not covered by the Mercedes-
Benz warranty. H
Environmental note
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 engine
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
