WARNING
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance
around the pedals when floormats are used,
and that the floormats are properly secured.
The floormats must be correctly secured at all
times using retainer sand press-studs.
Before you drive off ,chec kthe floormats and
secur eifnecessary. Afloormat which is not
properly secured can slip and, thereby, inter-
fere with the movemen tofthe pedals.
Do not plac efloormats on top of one another. Floormat on the driver's side (example)

Driver's seat/front-passenger seat:
slide the respective seat back.
X Rear seats: slide the respective seat for-
wards.
X To fit: place the floorma tinthe footwell.
X Press studs :ontoretainers ;.
X To remove: pull the floormat off retain-
ers ;.
X Remov ethe floormat. Infrared reflective windscreen
The infrared reflecting glass prevents the
vehicle interior from becoming too hot. It also blocks radio waves up int
othe gigahertz
range. In orde
rtooperateradio-controlled equip-
ment, e.g. toll recording systems, areas :on
the windscreen are permeable to radio
waves. In these areas, you can install radio-
controlled systems.
Thes earea scan best be seen from outside
the vehicle by observing the light reflected off
the windscreen. Retrofitted anti-glar
efilm
Anti-glar efilm retrofitted to the inside of the
windows can interfer ewith radio/mobile
phone reception. This is particularly the case
for conductive or metallic-coated films. Infor-
mation about anti-glar efilm can be obtained
from any Mercedes-Ben zService Centre. 316

X Check that the bonnet has engaged prop-
erly.
If the bonnet can be raised slightly, it is not
properly engaged. Open it again and close
it with alittle more force. Radiator
i Vehicles with diesel engine: do not
cover the radiator .Don ot use thermal
mats, insec tprotectio ncover sora nything
similar. Doing so can cause the Onboard

values .Some of these values ar elegally
required and must be cor rect. Engine oil
Notes on the oil level Depending on driving style, the vehicle con-
sume samaximum 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 engin espeeds.
Checking the oil level using the oil dip-
stick Example: vehicles with
apetro lengine Example: vehicle
swithadiesel engine
X Park the vehicle on alevel surface.
To chec kthe oil level with the engin eat
normal operating temperature, switch the
engine off and wait for approximately five
minutes.
X Pull oil dipstick :out of the oil dipstick
tube.
X Wip eoff oi ldipstick :.
X Slowly slide oil dipstick :into the guide
tube to the stop, and take it out again.
If the level is between MIN mark =and
MAX mark ;,the oil level is correc t.
X If th eoil level has dropped to MIN mark
= or below it, top up with
0.5 to 1.0 litres of engine oil.
Adding engine oil G
WARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot
engine parts, it may ignite and you could burn
yourself .Donot spill any engin eoil on hot
engine parts. H
Environmental note
When topping up the oil, take care not to spill
any. If oil enters the soil or waterways, it is
harmful to the environment.
! Do not add too much oil. If the oil level is
above the "max" mar konthe dipstick ,too
much oil has been added. This can lead to
damage to the engin eorthe catalytic con-
verter .Have excess oil siphoned off. 320

i Thet yre pressure values indicated by the
on-board computer may differ from those
measured at afilling station with apressure
gauge. Th etyre pressures shown by the on-
board computer refer to thos emeasured at
sea level. At high altitudes, the tyr epres-

are higher than thos eshown by the on-
boar dcomputer .Inthis case ,donot reduce
