Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasoline engine. Do not switch on the
ignition if you accidentally refuel with the
wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter
the fuel system. Even small amounts of the
wrong fuel could result in damage to the
fuel system and the engine. Notif ya
qualified specialist worksho pand have the
fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.
! Only refuel using unleaded gasoline with
am inimum octane ratin gof91.
! Only use the fuel recommended.
Operatin gthe vehicle with other fuels can
lead to engin efailure.
! Do not use the following:
R E85 (gasoline with 85% ethanol)
R E100( 100% ethanol)
R M15 (gasoline with 15% methanol) 348

R
M30 (gasoline with 30% methanol)
R M85 (gasoline with 85% methanol)
R M100 (100% methanol)
R Gasoline with metalliferous additives
R Diesel
Do not mix such fuels with the fuel
recommended for your vehicle. Do not use
additives. This can otherwise lead to engine
damage. This does not include cleaning
additives for the removal and prevention of
residue build-up. gasoline may only be
mixed with cleaning additives
recommended by Mercedes-Benz; see
"Additives". You can obtain further
information from any authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
! To ensure the longevity and full
performance of the engine, only premium-
grade unleaded gasoline must be used.
If standard premium-grade unleaded
gasoline is unavailable and unleaded
gasoline of alower grade is used for
refueling, observe the following
precautions:
R only fill the fuel tank to half full with
regular unleaded gasoline and fill the rest
with premium-grade unleaded gasoline
as soon as possible.
R do not drive at the maximum speed.
R avoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds above 3000 rpm.
R never refuel using fuel with an octane
number lower than 87. Otherwise,
engine failure could occur.
Using mixtures of methanol and ethanol is not
permitted. E10 fuel or E15 fuel (unleaded
gasoline with 10% or 15% ethanol) can be
used.
You will usually find information about the fuel
grade on the pump. If you cannot find the
label on the pump, ask the staff for
assistance.
i For further information ,consult a
qualified specialist workshop or on the Internet at http://www.mbusa.com (USA
only).
Information on refueling (Y page 150).
Additives
! Operating the engine with fuel additives
added later can lead to engine failure. Do
not mix fuel additives with fuel. This does
not include additives for the removal and
prevention of residue buildup. gasoline
must only be mixed with additives
recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Comply
with the instructions for use on the product
label.M ore information about
recommended additives can be obtained
from any authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
fuel brands that have the additives.
The quality of the fuel available in some
countries may not be sufficient .Residue
could build up as aresult. In such cases, and
in consultation with an authorized Mercedes-
BenzC enter, the gasoline may be mixed with
the cleanin gadditive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz( part no. A000989254512).
You must observe the notes and mixin gratios
specified on the container. Engine oil
General notes !
Never use engin eoil or an oil filter of a
specification other than is necessary to
fulfill the prescribed servic eintervals. Do
not change the engine oi loroilfilter in
order to achieve longe rreplacement
intervals than those prescribed. You could
otherwise cause engin edamage or damage
to the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Follow the instructions in the service
interval display regarding the oil change.
Otherwise, you may damage the engin eand
the exhaust gas aftertreatment. Service products and filling capacities

When handling engine oil, observe the
important safety notes on service products
(Y page 347).
The engine oils are matched to the
performance of Mercedes-Benz engines and
service intervals. You should therefore only
use engine oils and oil filters that are
approved for vehicles with maintenance
systems.
For alist of approved engine oils and oil filters,
consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center .Orvisit the website
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.

Do no tuse any additives in the engine oil.
This could damage the engine. Engineo
il viscosity Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of
afluid. If an engine oil has ahigh viscosity,
this means that it is thick; alow viscosity
means that it is thin.
Select an engine oil with an SAE classification
(viscosity) suitablef or the prevailing outside
temperatures. The table shows you which
SAE classifications are to be used. The low-
temperature characteristics of engine oils
can deteriorate significantly, e.g. as aresult
of aging, soot and fuel deposits. It is therefore
strongly recommended that you carry out
regularo il changes using an approved engine
oil with the appropriate SA Eclassification. Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brak efluid constantly absorb smoisture
fro mt he air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is arisk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
the specified intervals.
When handling brake fluid, observe the
important safety notes on service products
(Y page 347).
The brake fluid change intervals can be found
in the MaintenanceB ooklet.350

Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB Approval 331.0.
Information abouta

i Have the brake fluid renewed regularly at
aq ualified specialist workshop. Coolant
Importan tsafet ynotes G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes int ocontact with hot
component sinthe engin ecompartment ,it
may ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Let the engin ecool down before you add
antifreeze .Make sure that antifreeze is not
spilled nex ttothe filler neck.T horoughly
clean the antifreeze from components before
startingt he engine.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreezep rotection. You
coul dotherwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be
found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications
for Service Products, MB Specifications for
Service Products 310.1, e.g. on the
Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com .Or
contact aqualified specialist workshop.
! Always use asuitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosio nand
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularl yreplaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the
replacement confirmed in the Maintenance
Booklet. Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products when handling coolant
(Y
page3 47).
The coolant is amixture of water and
antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs
the following tasks:
R corrosio nprotection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down
to -35 ‡(-37 †), the boiling point of the
coolant during operatio nisapproximately
266 ‡(130 †).
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
concentration in the engine cooling system
should:
R be at least 50%. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -35 ‡(-37 †).
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -49 ‡[-45 †]). Otherwise, heat
will not be dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, add equal
amounts of water and antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor concentrate in
accordance with MB Specifications for
Service Products 310.1.
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is
filled with acoolant mixture that ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion
protection.
i The coolant is checked with every
maintenance interval at aqualified
specialist workshop. Service products and filling capacities
