Environmental note
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. For these, the same war-
ranty applies as for new parts.
Always specify the vehicle identification num-
ber (VIN) (Y page 352) and the engine num-
ber (Y page 353) when ordering genuine
Mercedes-Ben zparts. Vehicle electronics

WARNING
Only have work on the engine electronics and
related components carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Ben zService
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Otherwise, the vehicle's
roadworthiness could be affected.
! Only have maintenance work on the
engine electronics and its associated parts,
such as control units, sensors and connec-
tor leads, carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. Vehicle componentsm ay other-
wise wear more quickly and the vehicle's
operating permit may be invalidated. Retrofitting of two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)
Use the Technical Specification
ISO/TS 21609 22
implementation regulation
when retrofitting RF (radio frequency) trans-
mitters. If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or aerial
connections intended for use with the basic
wiring. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's
additional instructions when installing the fit-
tings.

Have aftermarket radio frequency trans-
mitting equipmen tinstalled at a qualified

Important safety notes
Service products include the following:
R fuels (e.g. petrol, diesel)
R lubricants (e.g. engine oil, transmission oil)
R coolant
R brake fluid
R windscreen washerf luid
Vehicle components and their respective
lubricants must match. Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you use products that have
been tested and specially approved by
Mercedes-Benz. These products are listed in
this Mercedes-Ben zOwner's Manual in the
relevant section.
You can recognise service products approved
by Mercedes-Ben zby the following inscrip-
tion on the containers:
R MB-Freigabe (e.g. MB-Freigabe 229.51)
R MB Approval (e.g. MB Approval 229.51)
Other designations or recommendations that
relate to a level of quality or a specification in
accordance with an MB Sheet number (such
as MB 229.5) hav enot necessarily been
approved by Mercedes-Benz.

! Always use a suitable 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/corrosion inhibitor is present in
the correc tconcentration, the boiling point of
the coolant will be around 130 †.
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should:
R be at least 50%. This will protec tthe engine
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-Benz recom-
mends an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
which has been approved for Mercedes-Benz.
! The engine cooling system is filled with
coolant that must be renewed after 15
years, or after 250,000 km at the latest. Vehicle data

24-GHz radar sensor system (country overview)
The 24 GH zradar sensor system requires separate approval for each country. When you are
driving in a country in which the radar sensor system is no tapproved, you must deactivate
the system using the on-board computer (Y page 226). The current country overview can be
obtained from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Vehicles with anavigation system: the radar sensor system is deactivated automatically
near radio telescope facilities.
The currently active systems are automatically deactivated:
R DISTRONIC PLUS (Y page 164)
R Blind Spot Assist (Y page 190)
R Active Blind Spot Assist(Y page 194)
R PRE-SAFE ®
Brake (Y page 50)
Ad isplay message appears in the multifunction display to tell you that the radar sensor system
is being switched off (Y page 257).
BAS PLUS (Y page 66) is the nalso unavailable.
If the deactivation does not occur automatically, you must deactivate the radar sensor system
using the on-board computer (Y page 226).
Vehicles withou tnavigation and vehicles for Australia: you must deactivate the radar
sensor system using the on-board computer whe nyou are near a radio telescope facility
