lamp in the instrument cluster (Y
page 229)
lights up.
The tire pressure is shown in 2 red rectangles.
The pressure of the tire concerned is shown
in one of the two rectangles (Y page 199).
Additionally, a warning tone sounds.
Each tire that is affected by a significant loss
of pressure is highlighted in the pressure dis-
play.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor When you restart the tire pressure monitor,
the currently set tire pressure are taken as
reference values for monitoring.
In most cases, the tire pressure monitor
detects the new reference values automati-
cally, e.g. after you have:
R changed the tire pressure
R mounted
R mounted new wheels or tires
However, you can also define reference val-
ues manually as described here.
Before restarting the tire pressure moni-
tor:
X Set the tire pressure to the value recom-
mended on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion placard or the tire pressure table on
the B-pillar on the driver's side
(Y page 290).
Observe the notes on tire pressure when
doing so (Y page 290).
X Make sure that the tire pressure is correct
on all four wheels. Restarting the tire pressure monitor
(vehicles without steering wheel but-
tons):
X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press the 0079menu button on the instru-
ment cluster repeatedly until the display
shows the following message:

The tire pressure monitor activation proc-
ess has begun. The tire pressures meas-
ured for the individual wheels are stored as
the new reference values, provided that the
tire pressure monitor considers them to be
plausible.
If you wish to cancel the restart:
X Press the 0075button or the 0079menu button
on the instrument cluster.
The activation process is canceled auto-
matically if 30 seconds elapse without
input.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
(vehicles with steering wheel buttons):
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press the 0080or007F button on the steer-
ing wheel repeatedly until the standard dis-
play is shown ( Ypage 189).
X Press the 0041or0068 button on the steer-
ing wheel repeatedly until the current pres-
sure of the individual tires is displayed or

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

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
