The handling characteristics of
aladen vehi-
cle are dependent on the distribution of the
load within the vehicle. For this reason, you
should observe the following notes when
transportin gaload:
R never exceed the maximum permissible
gross vehicle weight or the permissible axle
loads for the vehicle (including occupants).
R position heavy loads as far forwards and as
low in the boot as possible.
R the load must not protrude above the upper
edge of the seat backrests.
R alway splace the load against the rear or
fronts eat backrests. Make sure that the
seat backrest sare securely locked into
place.
R alway splace the load behind unoccupied
seats if possible.
R secure the load with sufficiently stron gand
wear-resistan tload restraints. Pad sharp
edges for protection.
i Load restraints are available at any quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-
Benz Servic eCentre. Stowage compartments
G
Risk of injury
The stowage compartmentsm ust be closed
when items are stored in them. Luggage nets

R brake sharply
R change direction suddenly
R are involved in an accident
Sharp-edged and fragile object smust not be
placed in the luggage net. Do not place hard object

! Refuel using only unleaded, sulphur-free
premium grade petrol with aminimum
octan enumber of 95 RON/85 MON con-
formin gtoEuropean standard EN 228.
Otherwise, you could impair engine output
or damage the engine. i
Asatemporary measure, only when the
recommended fuel is not available, you
may also use regular unleaded petrol,
91 RON/82. 5MON. This may reduce
engine performance and increase fuel con-
sumption. Avoid driving at full throttle.
In some countries, the fuel grade available
may not be adequate and could cause cok-
ing around the inlet valve. In such cases,
and in consultation with aMercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre, the petrol may be mixed
with the additive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz (part no.
A000989254510). You must observe the
notes and mixing ratios specified on the
container.
Further information on "Fuel" (Y page 287). Diese
l(EN 590, DIN 51628) G
Risk of fire
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with adie-
sel engine. Do not mix diesel with petrol. This
would result in damage to the fuel system and
engine, which could lead to avehicle fire.
! Refuel using only diesel which conforms
to European standard EN 590 or German
standard DIN 51628. Otherwise, you could
impair engine output or damage the engine.
! When refuelling vehicles with adiesel par-
ticulate filter in countries outside the EU,
only low-sulphur Euro diesel with less than
0.005 percent sulphur content by weight
(50 ppm) should be used.
! In countries in which diesel with ahigher
sulphur content is available, the engine oil
should be renewed at more frequent inter-
vals. More information about intervals for
changin gthe engine oil can be obtained
from any Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre.
! Using fuel that does not comply with the
European standard EN 590 or the German Refuelling

Depending on driving style, the vehicle con-
sumes up to 0.8 loil per 1,000 km. The oil
consumption may be highert han this when
the vehicle is new or if you frequently drive at
high engine speeds.
Checking the engine oil level Before checking the engine oil level the fol-
lowing conditions for the vehicle shouldbe
met:
R
the vehicle shouldbep arked on level
ground.
R the engine shouldbes witched off for at
least five minutes if the engine is at normal
operating temperature.
R the engine shouldbes witched off for at
least 30 minutes if the engine is not at
operating temperature (i.e. if you only start
the engine briefly).
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may
be installed at adifferent location. E3

tube.
X Wipe off oil dipstick 0046.
X Insert oil dipstick 0046into the oil dipstick

mark 0047.
X Top up the oil if necessary.

damaging the environment. Cap (example)
X Turn cap 0046anti-clockwise and remove.
X Top up with the amount of oil required
(Y page 288).
i The difference in quantity betwee nthe
minimum mark and maximu mmark is
approximately 2litres.
i On vehicle switha4-cylinder petrol
engine and vehicle swith an 8-cylinder pet-
rol engine, the difference betwee nthe MIN
mark and the MAX mark is approximately
1.5 litres.
