R the key is in position 0in the ignition lock. Instrument lighting
When the lights are switched on, you can
adjust the brightness of the instrument
cluster lighting using the 000Eand 000Fbuttons.
X To brighten: press the000Ebutton.
X To dim: press the 000Fbutton.
i Vehicles with automatic headlamp mode:
the instrument lighting also adapts to
automatic headlamp mode. Tachometer
! Do not drive in the overrevving range, as
this could damage the engine. H
Environmental note
Avoid driving at high engine speeds. This
unnecessarily increases the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and harms the environmen tas
a result of increased emissions.
The red band in the tachometer indicates the
engine's overrevving range.
To protect the engine, the fuel supply is
interrupted when the red band is reached. Outside temperature
You should pay special attention to road
conditions when temperatures are around
the freezing point.
On vehicles without steering wheel buttons
(Y page 178) and on vehicles with steering
wheel buttons (Y page 182), the outside
temperature display is in the display. Changes in the outside temperature are
displayed after a shor
tdelay. Speedometer
The speed can also be shown in the display.
You can find information on the digital
speedometer for vehicles without steering
wheel buttons under (Y page 178) and for
vehicles with steering wheel buttons under
(Y page 182).
i In some countries, a warning sounds
when the vehicle reaches the maximum
speed limit, e.g. at 75 mph ( 120 km/h). Trip odometer
X To reset: make sure that the display is

Diesel Exhaust Flui
d(DEF)
General notes !
Only use DEF in accordance with
ISO 22241. The exhaus tgas aftertreatment
system may otherwise be damaged.
Observe the MB Specifications for Service
Products, Sheet No. 352.0.
Damage caused by the use of other
reducing agents will invalidat ethe New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
! If DEF comes into contact with a painted
or aluminum surface, wash the surface off
immediately with plenty of water.
High ambient temperatures When opening the DEF tank filler cap at high
outside temperatures, ammonia vapors may
escape. Ammonia vapors have a pungent
odor and are particularly irritating for your
skin, respiratory organs and eyes. This may
result in burning eyes, nose and throat, as
well as coughing and watering eyes. Do not
inhale ammonia vapors.
If DEF in the DEF reservoir heats up to
temperatures above 122 ‡
(50†) foralong
period of time (e.g. due to direct sunlight),
ammonia vapors form.
Low ambient temperatures DEF freezes at a temperature of
approximately 12
‡(002711 †). The vehicle is
equipped with a DEF preheating system at the
factory .This ensures that the vehicle can be
operated in winter, even at temperatures
below 12 ‡(002711 †).
Additives and tap water !
Do not mix DEF with any additives and do
not dilute DEF with tap water. Otherwise,
the exhaust gas aftertreatment may be
damaged.
Observe the MB Specifications for Service
Products, Sheet No. 352.0. Damage that arises through the use of
additives or tap water will invalidate the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Storage !
Containers made of aluminum, copper,
coppe ralloys as well as unalloyed or
galvanized steel are not suitable for storing
DEF. If stored in these types of containers,
DE Fc ould cause constituents of these
metals to dissolve and cause irreparable
damage to the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Damage caused by such impurities in the
DEFw ill invalidate the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Only store DEF in containers made of high-
alloy Cr-Ni steel or Mo-Cr-Ni steel in
accordance with DIN EN 10 088-1/2/3 or
plastic containers made of polypropylene or
polyethylene.
Purity !
Impurities in DE F(e.g. caused by other
service products, cleaning agents, dust,
etc.) result in increased emissions,
malfunctions, catalytic converter damage
or engine damage.
The purity of DEFi s essential to prevent
malfunctions in the exhaust gas
aftertreatment.
If DEF is pumped out of the DEF tank, e.g.
during repair work, the same liquid must not
be used to refill the tank. Its purity is no longer
guaranteed.
Disposal Observe country-specific laws and
regulations when disposing of DEF.
0017Environmental note
Dispose of DEF in an environmentally
responsible manner.320

DEF supply reservoir content
Depending on equipment, th

Approx. 4.9 US gal (18.5 l)
Approx. 5.8 US gal (22.0 l)
14DEF consumption
Depending on the vehicle version, the DEF
consumption is:
R for the Cargo Van/Passenger Van,
approximately 2322 MPG (0.10 l/100 km)
R for the Cab Chassis, approximately
1720 MPG (0.14 l/100 km)
In each case, the stated consumption figure
is a mea nvalue between urban and extra-
urban driving cycles. The consumption figure
does no trefer to a specific vehicle, but is
provided for the purposes of comparison
between differen tvehicle types.
DEFc onsumption, like fuel consumption, is
very dependent on the driving style and the
operating conditions. This means that the real
consumption figures during operation of your
vehicle may deviate from those stated. Engine oil
General notes !
The bottles of the various engine oil types
are marked with ACEA (Association des
Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles)
and/or API (American Petroleum Institute)
classifications. Only use approved engine
oils that conform to the following MB Specifications for Service Products and the
prescribed ACEA and/or API
classifications. Using engine oils of another
quality is not permitted and may invalidate
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
The use of other, non-approved engine oils
for diesel engines can cause damage to the
diesel particle filter (DPF).
Use only engine oils that have been approved
for your vehicle according to the MB
Specifications for Service Products.
The MB Specifications for Service Products
are valid for your vehicle 15
R 228.51
R 229.31
R 229.51
These are high quality engine oils which have
a positive effect on:
R engine wear
R fuel consumption
R exhaust gas emissions.
Multi-grade engine oils of the prescribed SAE
class (viscosity) may be used all year round,
taking the outside temperatures into
account.
Engine oil viscosity !
If the SAE viscosity class of the engine oil
used does not cover the outside
temperature range in which you are
operating the vehicle, it must be changed
in good time, in particular before the cold
season commences. Using an engine oil
that does not have adequate temperature
characteristics can lead to engine damage.
The temperature range information of the
SAE classification always refers to that of
fresh oil. The temperature characteristics
of the engine oil may deteriorate

14 Cab Chassis only.
15 If the quality grade is not available for diesel, you may also add engine oils meeting the requirements in MB
Sheet No. 228.5, 229.3 or 229.5. The quantity to be added is then limited to a maximum of 1 qt (1 l). Service products and capacities
