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

It is hazardous to your health if your skin
comes into direct contact with fuels or you
breathe in fuel vapours. G
WARNING
Do not use petrol to refuel adiesel tank.N ever
mix diesel with petrol. Doin gsocould damage
the fuel system and the engine. The vehicle
could also catc hfire.
! Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a
diesel engine. Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with
apetrol engine. Even small
amounts of the wrong fuel result in damage
to the fuel system and the engine.
! Do not switch on the ignition if you acci-
dentally refuel with the wrong fuel. Other-
wise, the fuel will enter the fuel lines. Notify
aq ualified specialist workshop and have
the fuel tank and fuel lines drained com-
pletely.

Special service requirements
Arduous operating condition
sorincreased
loads on the vehicle will require some service
work to be performed more often than for a
vehicle in normal use. Such arduousc ondi-
tions include regular city driving with frequent
intermediate stops and use in mountainous
terrain or on poor road surfaces.
For example, if the vehicle is used under ardu-
ous operating conditions, have air filters,
engine oil and oil filters changed frequently
and check the wheels often.F urther informa-
tion can be obtaine dataqualified specialist
workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Ben zService
Centre.
Driving abroad
An extensive Mercedes-BenzS ervice network
is also available in other countries. The
Service Hotline's curren ttelephone numbers
for use when you are abroad are to be found
in the "Mercedes-Benz Service24h" section
of the Service Booklet. Care
General notes
H
Environmental note
Dispose of empty packagin gand cleaning
cloth sinane nvironmentally responsible man-
ner.
! For cleanin gyour vehicle, do not use any
of the following:
R dry, rough or hard cloths
R abrasive cleanin gagents
R solvents
R cleanin gagents containin gsolvents
Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective
films with hard objects, e.g. aring or ice
scraper. You could otherwise scratch or
damage the surfaces and protective film. !
Do not park up the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleanin git, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive for afew minutes after clean-
ing. Braking heats the brake discs and the
brake pads/linings, thus drying them. The
vehicle can then be parked up.
Regular care of your vehicle is acondition for
retaining the quality in the long term.

ommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Washing the vehicle and cleaning the
