The consumption figures have been deter-
mined in accordance with EU Directive
715/1268/EC and do not refer to a specific
vehicle. Deviations from these values may
occur under normal operating conditions.
i Only for certain countries: the respective
curren tconsumption 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 implied warranty. H
Environmental note
CO 2(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
tists 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. Engine oil
Only Mercedes-Benz approved engine oils
may be used in Mercedes-Benz engines.
Al ist of the engine oils tested and approved
in accordance with the Mercedes-Ben zSpec-
ifications for Service Products can be called
up by visiting http://bevo.daimler.com and
entering the MB Sheet number. Further infor-
mation on tested and approved engine oils
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. Engine oils which have been
approved by Mercedes-Benz have the MB
Sheet number indicated on the oil container under the "MB approval" notice. The table
shows which MB Sheet number applies to
which engine: MB Sheet number

In rare cases the following characteristics
of the engine oil used may be unavailable:
R engine oil brand
R grade (MB Sheet number)
R SAEc lassification (viscosity)
In such cases, you can use another mineral
or synthetic engine oil which has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
You must the nhave an oil change carried
out at the earliest possible opportunity.
Mixing oils reduces the benefits of high-
grade engine oil.
! Do no tuse lubricant additives. These can
lead to increased wear and damage to
mechanical assemblies. The use of lubri-
cant additives will result in a restriction of
your warranty.
Engine oil viscosity Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity,
this means that it is thick; a low viscosity
means that it is thin.
Select the SAE classification (viscosity) of the
engine oil according to the outside tempera-
ture. The following table shows you the vis-
cosity classes to be used depending on the
average air temperature. 350
