Topping up engine oil
G
WARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment could be very hot, e.g. the engine, the
radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
There is a risk of injury when accessing the
engine compartment.
As far as possible, allow the engine to cool
down and only touch the components descri- bed in the following. G
WARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot com- ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Make sure that engine oil does not spill out
over the filler neck. Allow the engine to cool
down and thoroughly clean the components
that have come into contact with engine oil
before you start the engine. H
Environmental note
When topping up the oil, take care not to spill
any. If oil enters the soil or waterways, it is
harmful to the environment.
! Use only engine oils and oil filters that are
approved for vehicles with a service system. A
list of the engine oils and oil filters that have
been tested and approved in accordance with Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
Products is available at any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
The following cause engine failure or damage
to the exhaust system:
R Use of engine oils and oil filters that have
not been expressly approved for the service system
R Replacement of engine oil and oil filter after
the replacement interval specified by the
service system has expired
R Use of engine oil additives
! Do not add too much oil. Topping up with too
much engine oil can result in damage to the
engine or to the catalytic converter. Have
excess engine oil siphoned off. Example: engine oil filler cap
X Turn cap :anti-clockwise and remove it.
X Top up the engine oil.
If the oil level is at or below the MIN mark on
the oil dipstick, top up with 1.0 lof engine oil.
X Replace cap :on the filler neck and turn
clockwise.
Make sure that the cap locks securely into
place.
X Check the oil level again with the oil dipstick
(Y page 282).
Further information on engine oil (Y page 330). Checking and adding other service
products
Checking the coolant level G
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised, particu-
larly when the engine is warm. If you open the cap, you could be scalded if hot coolant
sprays out. There is a risk of injury.
Let the engine cool down before you open the
cap. Wear gloves and eye protection. Open
the cap slowly to release the pressure.
! The coolant level must only be checked and
corrected when the engine has cooled down
(coolant temperature under 40 †). Checking
the coolant level when the coolant tempera-
ture is over 40 † can lead to damage to the
engine or engine cooling system. Engine compartment

Diesel
Fuel grade
G
WARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of pure diesel fuel. When the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heat unnoticed. There is a risk of fire.
Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to
diesel fuel.
! When refuelling, only use diesel fuel that
conforms to the European standard EN 590 or is of equivalent quality. Fuel that does not
conform to EN 590 can lead to increased wear
as well as damage to the engine and exhaust system.
! Do not use the following:
R marine diesel
R heating oil
R bio-diesel
R vegetable oil
R petrol
R paraffin
R kerosene
Do not mix such fuels with diesel fuel and do
not use any special additives. Otherwise,
engine damage may occur.
! Vehicles with diesel particle filters:
in
countries outside the EU, only use low sulphur
Euro diesel with a sulphur content of under
50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission control sys- tem could be damaged.
! Vehicles without a diesel particle filte
r:
in countries where only diesel fuel with a high sulphur content is available, you will need to
carry out your vehicle's oil change at shorter
intervals. More information about the interval for oil change can be obtained from any quali-
fied specialist workshop.
Usually you will find information about the fuel
grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label
on the petrol pump, ask the filling station staff.
Information on refuelling (Y page 153).Low outside temperatures
In winter months, diesel fuel with an improved
cold flow quality is available. In Europe, the
EN 590 standard defines various climate-
dependent temperature categories. Malfunc-
tions can be avoided by refuelling with diesel
fuel that corresponds to the climatic specifica-
tions outlined in EN 590. At unusually low out-
side temperatures, it is possible that the flow
characteristics of the diesel fuel could be insuf- ficient. Accordingly, diesel fuel from warmer
areas may not be suitable for operation in colder
climatic conditions.
i Further information on country-specific fuel
properties and fuel types with low-tempera-
ture resistance can be obtained from oil com-
panies, e.g. at filling stations. Engine oil
General notes When handling engine oil, observe the important
safety notes on service products (Y page 327).
The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
engine oils that correspond to the current tech-
nical standard.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz-approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines.
Further information on tested and approved
engine oils can be obtained from any Mercedes- Benz Service Centre. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you have the oil change carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-
Benz approval is indicated on the oil container
by the inscription "MB-Freigabe" or "MB- 330
Service products and filling capacitiesTechnical data

Approval" and the corresponding designation,
e.g. MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 229.51.
You can call up an overview of approved engine
oils on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com by entering
the designation, e.g. 229.5.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for your vehicle.
Petrol engines: in certain countries, different
engine oils can be used, provided that the main-
tenance intervals are reduced. For more infor-
mation, please contact a qualified specialist
workshop. Petrol engines MB-Freigabe or

Additives
!
Do not use any additives with the engine oil.
This could damage the engine. 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 impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 327).
The brake fluid change intervals can be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval
331.0.
Information about approved brake fluid can be
obtained at any qualified specialist workshop or on the Internet at
