Risk of accident
Observe the settings recommended on the

could mist up. This may obstruct your view of
the traf fics ituation and, as aresult, you may
cause an accident.

i Ventilate the vehicle for abriefp eriod
during war mweather ,e.g. using the con-
venie nceo penin gfeatur e(Ypage 75). This
will speed up the cooling process and the
desired vehicle interior temperatur ewill be
reached more quickly.
i The integrated filter can filter out most
particles of dust and completely filter sout
pollen. Aclogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior .For
this reason, you should always observ ethe
interva lfor replacing the filter ,which is
specifie dinthe Servic eBooklet .Asit depends on environmental conditions, e.g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Servic eBooklet.

It is hazard
oustoy our health if your skin
comes into direct contact with fuels or you
breathe in fuel vapours. G
Risk of fire
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with adie-
sel engine. Never mix diesel with petrol. This
causes damage to the fuel system and engine
and could result in the vehicle catching fire.
! Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a
diesel engine. Do not use diesel to refuel
vehicles with apetrol engine. Even asmall
quantity of th ewrong fue lwill damage the
fuel system and engine.
! If the wrong fuel has been added by mis-
take, do not switch on the ignition .Ifyou
do, the fuel coul denter the fuel lines .The
fuel tan kand the fuel lines must then be
drained .Inform aqualified specialist work-
sho pand have the fuel tank and the fuel
lines drained comple tely. Petrol (EN 228)
Fuel grade !
Only refuel using unleaded premium-
grade petrol with at least
95 RON/8 5MON, whic hconforms to Euro-
pean standar dEN2 28.
Yo uc an otherwise impair engine output or
damage the engine.
! Do not use the following:
R E85 (petrol with 85 %ethanol)
R E10 0(100 %ethanol)
R M15 (petro lwith 15 %methanol)
R M85 (petrol with 85 %methanol)
R M10 0(100 %methanol)
R diesel
Do not mix these fuel swith petrol and do
not use any special additives. Otherwise,
this can lead to damage to the engine. This
does not include additives for the removal and prevention of residue build-up on the
inlet valves.
i If the recommended fuel is not available,
but only as atemporary measure, you may
also use regula runleaded petrol,
91 RON/82.5 MON. Thi smay reduce
engine performance and increase fuel con-
sumption. Avoid driv ingatf ull throttle.
In some countries, the fuel grad eavail able
may not be adequate and could cause res-
idu etob uild up around the inlet valve. In
such cases, and in consultation with a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, the petrol
may be mixed with the additive recommen-
ded by Mercedes-Benz (part no.
A000989254510). You must observe the
note sand mixing ratios specified on the
container.
For further information on "Fuel" ,see
(Y page 313). Diesel (EN 590, DIN 51628)
Fuel grade !
Only refuel with diesel that conform sto
Europea nstandard EN 590 or German
standard DIN 5162 8orthe equivalent. You
can otherwise impair engin eoutput or dam-
age the engine.
! Vehicles with diesel particle filters: in
countries outsid ethe EU ,only use low sul-
phu rEuro diesel with asulphu rcontent of
under 50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission
con trol system coul dbedamaged.
! Vehicles without adiesel particle fil-
ter: the engin eoil should be changed more
frequently in countries in which diesel with
ah igher sulphur conten tisavailable .More
information about intervals for changing
the engin eoil can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
! Using fuel that does not confor mtoEuro-
pean standard EN 590 or German standard
DIN 51628 can lead to increased wear, Refuelling

cause the drive wheels to lose their grip and
the vehicle could skid. G
Risk of accident
DISTRONIC PLU Siso nly an aid designe dto

sible for the vehicle's distance from other
vehicles, the vehicle's spee dand for braking
in goo dtime.
DISTRONIC PLU Sdoes not react in particular
to:
R pedestrians
R stationar yobstacles on the road, e.g. stop-
ped or parked vehicles
R oncoming and crossin gtraffic
DISTRONIC PLUS may not detect narro wvehi-
cles driving in front, e.g. motorcycles, or vehi-
cles driving on adifferen tline. Therefore,
always pay attention to traffic condition seven
when DISTRO NICP LUS is activated. Other-
wise ,you may fai ltorecognise danger sin
time, cause an accident and injure yourself
and others. G
Risk of accident
DISTRONI CPLUS cannot take account of road
and traffi cconditions. If DISTRONI Cdoesn ot
recognise or no longer recognises the vehicle
in front ,donot activate DI STRONIC or, if it is
already active, deactivate it. This is especially
the case:
R before corners
R on filter lanes R
when changing to alane with faster moving
traffic
R in complex driving situations or where lanes
are diverted, e.g. at roadworks on amotor-
way
DI ST RONIC PLUS otherwis emaintains the
current spee dset by you or accelerates up to
the set speed.
DI ST RONIC PLUS cannot take account of
weathe rconditions. Deac tivate, or do not
activate, DISTRONIC PLUS:
R if the roads are slippery, snow-covered or
icy. The wheels could los etheir grip when
brakin goraccelerating .The vehicle could
star ttos kid.
R if the sensors are dirty or there is poo rvis-
ibility, e.g. due to snow, rain or fog. Dis-
tanc econtrol may be impaired.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions
even when DI STRONIC PLUS is activated.
Otherwise, you may fail to recognise dangers
in time, cause an accident and injure yourself
and others.
The radar sensor syste misautomatically
deactivated near radio telescope facilities
(Y page 324).
If you want DISTRONIC PLUS to assis tyou,
the radar sensor system must be activated
(Y page 208) and operational.
If ther eisnov ehicle in front ,DISTRONIC
