General notes Depending on the driving style, the vehicle
consumes up to 0.9 US qt (0.8 l) of oil over a
distance of 600 miles (1000 km). The oil con- sumptio nmay be higher than this whe nthe
vehicle is new or if yo ufrequently drive at high
engine speeds.
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may
be in adifferent location.
Whe nchecking the oil level:
R park the vehicle on aleve lsurface.
R the engine should be switched off for
approximatel yfive minutes if the engine is
at normal operating temperature.
R if the engine is not at normal operating
temperature, e.g. if the engine wa sonly
started briefly ,waita bout 30 minutes
before carrying out the measurement.

WARNING
The brake fluidc onstantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake fluidist oo 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 shoul
dhave the brake fluidr enewed at
the specified intervals.
When handling brake fluid, observe the
important safety notes on service products
(Y page 281).
The brake fluidc hange intervals can be found
in the Maintenance Booklet.
Only use brake fluida pproved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB Approval 331.0.
Information abouta pproved brake fluidc an
be obtained at any qualified specialist work-
shop or on the Internet at

Important safety notes !
Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreeze protection. You
could otherwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be
found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products, MB BeVo 310.1, e.g.
on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com .Orcon-
tact aqualified specialist workshop.
! Always use
asuitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the cooling system is not suffi-
ciently protected from corrosion and over-
heating.
i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the
replacement confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.
