Environmental note
Dispose of service products in an environ-
mentally-responsible manner.
Service products include the following:
R fuels
R exhaust gas aftertreatment additives, e.g.
AdBlue ®
R lubricants (e.g. engine oil, transmission oil)
R coolant
R brake fluid
R windscreen washer fluid
R climate control system refrigerant
Components and service products must be
matched. Only use products recommended
by Mercedes-Benz. Damage which is caused
by the use of products which have not been
recommended is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz warranty or goodwill ges-
tures. They are listed in this Mercedes-Benz
Owner's Manual in the appropriate section.
You can identify service products approved
by Mercedes-Benz by the following inscrip-
tions on the container:
R MB-Freigabe (e.g. MB-Freigabe 229.51)
R MB-Approval (e.g. MB-Approval 229.51)
Other designations or recommendations indi- cate a level of quality or a specification in
accordance with an MB Sheet Number (e.g.
MB 229.5). They have not necessarily been
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Other identifications, for example:
R 0 W-30
R 5 W-30
R 5 W-40

Important safety notes G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. If you handle fuel
incorrectly, there is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
You must avoid fire, naked flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Switch off the engine
and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before refuelling. G
WARNING
Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to health. There is a danger of injury.
Do not swallow fuel or let it come into contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not inhale fuel
vapours. Keep fuels out of the reach of chil-
dren.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
R Wash the fuel off any affected areas of skin
with water and soap immediately.
R If you get fuel in your eyes, rinse them thor-
oughly with clean water immediately. Seek immediate medical attention.
R If fuel is swallowed, seek immediate medi-
cal attention. Do not induce vomiting.
R Change any clothing that has come into
contact with fuel immediately. Service products and capacities

If the engine oils listed in the table are not
available, you may add the following engine
oils until the next oil change:
R Petrol engines: MB-Freigabe or MB-
Approval 229.1, 229.3 or ACEA A3
R Diesel engines: MB-Freigabe or MB-
Approval 229.1, 229.3, 229.5 or
ACEA C3
This must only be added once and the
amount must not be greater than 1.0 l.

including the oil filter.

Additives
!
Do not use any additives with the engine
oil. This could damage the engine.
Engine oil viscosity Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity
rating, it flows slowly; the lower the viscosity,
the faster it flows.
Engine oil selection is based on the respective outside temperatures and in accordance with the SAE classification (viscosity). The table
shows you which SAE classifications are to be
used. The low-temperature properties of
engine oils can be significantly impaired dur-
ing operation due to, for example, ageing or
soot and fuel accretion. It is therefore
strongly recommended to observe regular oil changes using an approved engine oil with the
appropriate SAE classification. Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brake fluid continuously absorbs mois-
ture from the air. This results in the boiling
point of the brake fluid lowering. If the boiling
point of the brake fluid is too low, vapour
pockets may form when the brakes are sub-
jected to a heavy load. This would impair brak- ing efficiency. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the brake fluid renewed at the prescri-
bed intervals.
When handling brake fluid, observe the
important safety notes on service products
(Y page 480).
The brake fluid change intervals can be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz in accordance with MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 331.0.
Information about approved brake fluid can
be obtained at any qualified specialist work-
shop or on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
i Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at
a qualified specialist workshop in accord-
ance with the replacement intervals and
the replacement confirmed in the Service
Booklet. 486

Vehicle data for off-road driving
Maximum water depth
! The water depth must not exceed the
specified value. Note that the permissible
water depth is less in flowing water. Maximum water depth
:is 30 cm when
ready to drive.
Loaded and ready to drive means: a full tank, all fluids topped up and the driver is in the
vehicle.
Further information about driving on flooded
roads (Y page 226). Approach/departure angle
The approach angle is to be accounted for
when ready to drive:

All vehicles
29° 25°
Loaded and ready to drive means: a full tank,
all fluids topped up and the driver is in the
vehicle.
On vehicles with AIR BODY CONTROL loads
up to the maximum permissible load have no
influence on approach and departure angles.
For further information about approach/
departure angles, see (Y page 229). Maximum gradient-climbing capabil-
ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing
capability depends on the off-road conditions and the road surface conditions.
All vehicles (except AMG vehicles): the
maximum gradient climbing ability is 70%.
Carefully depress the accelerator pedal and
make sure that the wheels do not spin when
driving on steep terrain.
If the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on a steep uphill slope, the front
wheels have a tendency to spin. 4ETS recog- nises this and brakes the wheels accordingly. The rear wheel torque is increased and it is
easier to pull away. Vehicle data for off-road driving
