Notes on the oil level Depending on drivin
gstyle, the vehicle con-
sumes amaximum of 0.8 loil per 100 0km.
Th eo il consumption may be higher than this
when the vehicle is new or if you frequently
drive at high engine speeds.
When checking the oil level:
R park the vehicle on alevel surface.
R the engine should be switched off for at
least fiv eminutes if the engine is at normal
operating temperature.
R the engine should be switched off for at
least thirt yminutes if the engine is not at
normal operating temperature, e.g. if the
engine was only started briefly.
Checking the oil level using the oil dip-
stick Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may
be installed at
adifferent location. E3

X Pull oi ldipstick :out of the oil dipstick
tube.
X Wipe off oil dipstick :.
X Slowly insert oil dipstick :into the oil dip-
stick tube to the stop, and take it out again.
The oil level is correc tifthe level is between

Environmenta
lnote
When toppin guptheoil, tak ecaren ot to spill
any .Ifo il enter sthe soil or waterways, it is
harmful to the environmen t.Engine oil cap (example)
X
Turn cap :anti-clockwise and remove it.
X Top up with the amount of oil required.
Fill carefully to the maximum mark on the oil
dipstick.
i Depending on the engine, the difference
between the minimum mark and the maxi-
mum mark is approximately 1.5 –2litres.
! Do not add too muc hoil. If the oil level is
above the "max "mark on the dipstick, too
much oil has been added. This can lead to
damage to the engine or the catalytic con-
verter .Have excess oil siphoned off.

X Check the coolant temperature display in
the instrument cluster. G
Risk of injury
The cooling system is pressurised. Therefore,
only unscrew the cap once the engine has
cooled down. The coolant temperature gauge
must display less than 70 †.Otherwi se,you
could be scalded if ho tcoolant escapes. X

Engine oil
Note the following The quality of engine oils is decisive for the
func
tion and service lif eofane ngine.After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
engine oils which correspond to th ecurrent
technical standard.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines.
Further information on tested and approved
engine oils can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre. We recom-
men dhaving the oil change performed at a
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre. Mercedes-
Benz approval is indicated on the oil container
by the inscription "MB Approval" and the cor-
responding designation, e.g. MB Approval
229.51.

Lubricant additives
!
Do not mix any lubrican tadditives with
the engin eoil. This could damage the
engine. Damage resultin gfrom th euse of
suc hlubricant additives in the engine oil is
not covered by the Mercedes-Benz implied
warranty.
Engin eoil viscosity Viscosit
ydescribes the flow characteristics
of afluid. If an engin eoil has ahigh viscosity,
this means that it is thick; alow viscosity
means that it is thin.

engine oil accordi ngto the outside tempera-
ture. The followin gtable shows you the vis-
cosity classes to be used depending on the
average air temperature. Brake fluid
G
Risk of accident
The brak efluid constantly absorbs moisture
fro mt he air ;this lower sits boiling point.
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake system
when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when
driving downhill). Thi swould impair braking
efficiency.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
regular intervals. The brake fluid change inter-
val sc an be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz .Information abou tapproved brak eflu-
ids can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.

Coolant
Important safety notes The coolan
tisamixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosio ninhibitor. It performs the
following tasks:
R anti-corrosio nprotection
R antifreeze protection
R raising th eboiling point
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is fil-
led with acoolant mixtur ethat ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec-
tion.
! Only top up with coolant that has been
premixed with the desired antifreeze pro-
tec tion. You coul dotherwis edamage the
engine.
Further information on coolants and on fill-
ing can be found in the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products, MB
Approval 310.1 ,e.g. on the Internet at
http ://bevo.mercedes-benz.com .You can
also consult aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
! Alway suseasuitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the cooling system will not be
sufficiently protected from corrosion, and
the boiling point will be too low.
If antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor is present in
the correc tconcentration, the boilin gpoint of
the coolant will be around 13 0†.
The antifreeze/ corrosion inhibitor con centra-
tion in the cooling system should:
R be at leas t50%. This wil lprotect the cooling
system against freezing down to around
37 †.
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -45 †); otherwise ,heat will not be
dissipated as effectively. If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with
equal amounts of water and antifreeze/cor-
rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Ben
zrecom-
mends an anti freeze/cor rosion inhibitor
whic hhas been approved for Mercedes -Benz.
! The coolin gsystem is filled with coolant
which must be renewed after 15 years, or
after 250,000 km at the latest.
The warrant yisonly valid if you top up with
an antifreeze /corrosion inhibitor which
has been approved by Mercedes-Ben zand
