mark on coolant expansion tank 0044, add
coolant to the maximum mark.
Observe the information on coolant mix-
ture ratio and water quality in the "Techni-
cal data" section ( Ypage 329). To prevent
damage to the engine cooling system, use
only approved corrosion inhibitor/anti-
freeze that comply with the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products.
X Replace cap 0043and turn it clockwise to
tighten.
X Start the engine.
X After approximately 5 minutes, switch off
the engine and allow it to cool down.
X Check the coolant level again and add cool-
ant if necessary.
X Close the hood. Brake fluid

WARNING
Service products may be poisonous and haz-
ardous to health. There is a risk of injury.
Comply with instructions on the use, storage
and disposal of service products on the labels
of the respective original containers. Always
store service products sealed in their original
containers. Always keep service products out
of the reach of children.
Brake fluid is hazardous to health. Also
observe the safety notes in the "Service prod-
ucts and capacities" section (Y page 320).G
WARNING
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the 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 a risk of an accident. You should have the brake fluid renewed at
the specified intervals.
! Brake fluid corrodes paint, plastic and
rubber. If paint, plastic or rubber has come
into contact with brake fluid, rinse with
water immediately.
Have the brake fluid renewed every 2 years
at a qualified specialist workshop. Observe
the information on brake fluid in the "Techni-
cal data" section ( Ypage 328). Check the brake fluid level regularly, e.g.
weekly or when refueling.
Checking the brake fluid level
X
Stop your vehicle as far away from traffic
as possible on level ground.
X Switch off the engine.
X Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling
away.
X Open the hood (Y page 250).
X Check the brake fluid level.
The brake fluid level is correct if the level is
between the MIN mark and MAX mark on
brake fluid reservoir 0043.
X Close the hood.
! If the brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir has fallen to the MIN mark or
below, check the brake system immedi-
ately for leaks. Also check the thickness of
the brake linings. Visit a qualified specialist
workshop immediately.
Do not add brake fluid. This does not cor-
rect the malfunction. 256

WARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with gasoline, the flash
point is lower than that of pure diesel fuel.
When the engine is running, exhaust system
components could overheat without being
noticed. There is a risk of fire.
Never refuel with gasoline. Never mix gasoline
with diesel fuel.
! Filter the fuel before transferring it to the
vehicle if you are refueling the vehicle from
barrels or containers. This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel
system due to contaminated fuel.
! Vehicles without a diesel particle fil-
ter: in countries where only diesel fuel with
a high sulfur content is available, you will
need to carry out your vehicle's oil change
at shorter intervals. Further information on
oil change intervals can be obtained at a
qualified specialist workshop.

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 Spec-
ifications for Service Products and the pre-
scribed ACEA and/or API classifications.
Using engine oils of another quality is not
permitted and may invalidate the New Vehi-
cle 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 Specifi-
cations for Service Products.
The MB Specifications for Service Products
are valid for your vehicle 16
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 tempera-
ture range in which you are operating the
vehicle, it must be changed in good time, in
particular before the cold season commen-
ces. 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 signifi-
cantly due to aging in use, especially at low
outside temperatures.
We recommend that you change the engine
oil before the cold season commences. Use
an approved engine oil of the specified SAE
class. Engine oil SAE classification
Viscosity indicates the flow characteristics of
a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity,
this means that it is thick; a low viscosity
means that it is thin.
Depending on the respective outside temper-
atures, select an engine oil according to SAE
classification (viscosity). The table displays
the SAE classification to be used. The low
temperature characteristics of engine oils
can noticeably deteriorate during operation,
e.g. from aging, soot and fuel accretion. For
this reason, regular oil changes using an
approved engine oil from the suitable SAE
classification are urgently recommended.
Additives !
Do not use any additives in the engine oil.
This could damage the engine.
16 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 topping-up quantity is then limited to a maximum of 1 qt (1 l). 326
Service products and capacitiesTechnical data

Miscibility of engine oils
!
Mixing oils reduces the benefits of using
high grade engine oils.
We recommend that you only add engine oil
of the same quality grade and SAE class as
used when the engine oil was last changed.
If, in exceptional cases, oil of the type in the
engine is not available, top up using another
approved mineral or synthetic engine oil.
If the quality grade is not available for diesel
engines, you may also add engine oils meet-
ing the requirements in MB Sheet Number
228.5, 229.3 or 229.5. The topping-up quan-
tity is then limited to a maximum of 1 qt (1 l).
Engine oils are differentiated according to:
R engine oil brand
R quality grade (sheet number)
R SAE class (viscosity)
Subsequently have the engine oil changed at
the earliest possible opportunity.
Interval for oil change The on-board computer automatically shows
the date for the next oil change as an event
message in the display.
Only by using engine oil with a particularly
high quality grade, e.g. according to Sheet
Number 228.51 of the Mercedes-Benz Spec-
ifications for Service Products, can the maxi-
mum interval for oil change be achieved.
We recommend having the oil changed at a
qualified specialist workshop.

Information about oil consumption
!
If the vehicle is predominantly used for
short-distance driving, this could lead to a
malfunction in the automatic cleaning func-
tion for the diesel particle filter. As a result,
fuel may accumulate in the engine oil and
cause engine failure.
Therefore, if you mainly drive short distan-
ces, you should drive on a highway or on
rural roads for 20 minutes every 310 miles
(500 km). This ensures sufficient regener-
ation of the diesel particle filter.
Depending on the driving style, the vehicle
consumes a maximum of 1.0 US qt (1.0 l)of
engine oil over a distance of 620 miles
(1000 km).
Oil consumption may be higher if:
R the vehicle is new.
R you mainly operate the vehicle under ardu-
ous operating conditions.
R you frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Regular maintenance is one of the precondi-
tions for moderate rates of consumption.
You can only estimate the oil consumption
after you have driven a considerable distance.
Check the engine oil level on a regular basis,
e.g. weekly or each time you refuel
(Y page 252). Service products and capacities
