nc haracteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle
noise emissions or fuel consumption, may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addi-
tion, when driving with aload, tyre dimen-
sion variations could cause the tyres to
come into contact with the bodywork and
axle components.T his could result in dam-
age to the tyres or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Ben zaccepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tyres,
wheels or accessories othe rthan those tes-
ted and approved.
Further information about tyres, wheels
and approved combinations can be
obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since
previous damage cannot always be detec-
ted on retreaded tyres. As a result,
Mercedes-Ben zcannot guarantee vehicle
safety if retreaded tyres are fitted. Do not
fit used tyres if you have no information
about their previous usage.
! Large wheels :the lower the section width
for a certain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll com-
fort and suspension comfort are reduced
and the risk of damage to the wheels and
tyres as a result of driving over obstacles
increases.
i You will find a table of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure,
see (Y page 361).
i Notes on the vehicle equipment –always
fit the vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres at a given
time (summer tyres, winter tyres,
MOExtended tyres) i
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
properties, e.g. winter tyres. A TIREFIT kit
can be obtained fro maMercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
i Overview of abbreviations used in the fol-
lowing tyre tables:
R BA: both axles
R FA: front axle
R RA: rear axle

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
relate to a level of quality or a specification in
accordance with an MB Sheet number (such
as MB 229.5). They have no tnecessarily been
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
You can obtain further information from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. G
WARNING
When handling, storing and disposing of any
service products, please observe the relevant
regulations, as you could otherwise endanger
yourself and others.
Keep service products away from children.
To protec tyour health, do not allow service
products to come into contact with your eyes
or open wounds. See a doctor immediately if
any service product is swallowed. H
Environmental note
Dispose of service products in an environ-
mentally-responsible manner. Fuel
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames
and smoking are therefore prohibited when
handling fuels.
Switch off the engine and the auxiliary heating
before refuelling. G
WARNING
Do not come into contact with fuels. It is hazardous to your health if your skin
comes into direct contact with fuels or you
breathe in fuel vapours.

R in mountainous terrain
i Only for certain countries: you can find
the curren tconsumption and emission val-
ues of your vehicle in the COC documents
(EU CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These
documents are delivered with your vehicle.
The consumption figures were in each case
based on the currently applicable version:
R for vehicles up to and including the EURO
4s tandard, in accordance with EU Direc-
tive 80/1268/ECC
R for vehicles above the EURO 5standard,
in accordance with Regulatio n(EC) No.
715/2007
Deviations fro mthese values may occur
under normal operating conditions.
! Do not use any fuel additives, as they can
cause malfunctions and engine damage. 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
Please bear the following in mind The quality of engine oils is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Ben zapproves engine oils that correspond to the current
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 Service Centre. Mercedes-
Ben
zrecommends that you have the oil
change carried out at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. Mercedes-Benza pproval is
indicated on the oil container by the inscrip-
tion "MB Approval" and the corresponding
designation, e.g. MB Approval 229.51.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for your vehicle. Petrol engines MB Approval

Additives
!
Do not use additives in engine oil.T his
could damage the engine.
Engine oil viscosity Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity
rating, it flows slowly; the lower the viscosity,
the faster it flows.
Engine oil selection is based on the respective
outside temperatures and in accordance with
the SAE classification (viscosity). The table
below shows you which SAE classifications
are to be used. The low-temperature proper-
ties of engine oils can be significantly
impaired during operation due to, for exam-
ple, ageing or soot and fuel accretion.Itis
