Important safetyn otes
GWARNING
If the hood is unlatched, it may open up when the vehicle is in motion and block your view.
There is arisk of an accident.
Never unlatc hthe hood while driving. Before
every trip, ensure that the hood is locked.
GWARNING
Openin gthe hood when the engin eisover-
heated or when ther eisafire in the engine
compartmen tcould expose you to hot gases
or other servicep roducts. There isarisk of
injury.
Let an overheated engin ecool down before
openin gthe hood. If ther eisafire in the
engin ecompartment, keep the hood closed
and contact the fire department.
GWARNING
The engin ecompartmen tcontains moving
components. Certain components, such as
the radiator fan, may continue to run or start
again suddenly when the ignition is off. There is ar isk of injury.
If you need to do any work inside the engine
compartment:
Rswitc hoff the ignition
Rneve rreach int othe area where ther eisa
risk of danger from movingc omponents,
such as the fan rotation area
Rremovej ewelry and watches
Rkeep items of clothing and hair, for exam-
ple, away from movingp arts
GWARNING
The ignition system operate swithahigh volt-
age. If you touc hthe live components, you
could receiv eanelectric shock.T here is an
increased risk of injury.
Never touc hcomponents of the ignition sys-
tem if:
Rthe engin eisrunning or being started
Rthe key is in radio position or drive position
in the ignition lock
The live components of the ignition system are,
for example:
Rignition coils
Rspark plug connectors
Rdiagnostic sockets
GWARNING
Certain components in the engin ecompart-
ment ,such as the engine, radiator and parts
of the exhaust system ,can becomev ery hot.
Working in the engin ecompartmen tposes a
risk of injury.
Where possible, let the engin ecool down and
touc honly the components described in the
following.
If you have to carry out work in the engin ecom-
partment ,only touc hthe following components:
RHood

Important safetyn otes
GWarning
Af lat tire severely impairs the driving, steer-
ing and brakin gcharacteristic softhe vehicle.
There is arisk of an accident.
do not drive with aflat tire. Immediately
replace the flat tire with your spare wheel, or
consult aqualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If wheels and tires of the wrong size are used, the wheel brakes or suspensio ncomponents
may be damaged. There is arisk of an acci-
dent.
Always replace wheels and tires with those
that fulfill the specification softhe original
part.
When replacingw heels, make sure to use the
correct:

Accessories that are not approved for your vehi-
cle by Mercedes-Benz or are not being used cor-
rectly can impair operatin gsafety. Beforep
urchasin gand using non-approved
accessories, visit aqualified specialist work-
shop and inquire about:
Rsuitability
Rlegal stipulations
Rfactory recommendations
Information on the dimensions and types of
wheels and tires for your vehicle can be found
under "Wheel and tire combinations"
(
Ypage 290).
Information on your vehicle' stire pressure can
be found:
Rin the Tire and Loading Information placard on
the B-pillar, driver'ss ide
Rin the tire pressure table inside the fuel filler
flap (Ypage 271)
Runder "Tire pressure tables" (Ypage 278)
Runder "Tire pressure" (Ypage 270)
Modifications to the brake system or wheels are not permitted. The use of aspacer and brake
dust shields is not permitted. This invalidates
the general operatin gpermit for the vehicle.
Further information on wheels and tires can be
obtained at any qualified specialist workshop.
Operation
Information for ajourney
If the vehicle is heavily laden, checkt he tire
pressures,a nd correct them ,ifnecessary
(
Ypage 270).
While driving, pay attention to vibrations, noises
and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pull-
ing to one side. This may indicat ethat the
wheels or tires are damaged. If you suspect that
at ire is defective, reduce your speed immedi-
ately. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible to
checkt he wheels and tires for damage. Hidden
tire damage could also be causing the unusual
handling characteristics. If you find no signs of
damage, have the tires and wheels checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
When parkin gyour vehicle, make sure that the
tires do not get deformed by the curb or other
obstacles. If it is necessary to drive over curbs,
speed humps or similar elevations, try to do so
slowly and not at asharp angle. Otherwise, the
tires ,particularly the sidewalls, can get dam-
aged.

Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
!
Only have engin eelectronics and the corre-
spondin gparts, such as contro lunits ,actua-
tors, sensors or connector leads, serviced at a
qualified specialist workshop. Otherwise, the
vehicle parts may wear more quickly. This can
lead to loss of the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
Installing electrical or electronic
equipment
You and other scan suffer health-related dam-
age through electromagnetic radiation .Byusing
an exterior antenna, apossible health risk
caused by electromagnetic fields, as discussed
in scientific circles, is taken int oaccount. Only
have the exterior antenn ainstalled by aqualified
specialist workshop.
Electrical and electronic devices may have a
detrimental effectonb oth the comfort and the
operatin gsafetyoft he vehicle. If equipment of
this kin disinstalled, its electromagnetic com-
patibility must be checked and verified.
If thes edevices are linked to function sassoci-
ated with resistance to interference, they must
have type approval. This applies to the device or
its interfaces to the vehicle electronics, e.g.
chargingb rackets.
At elephon eortwo-way radio to be installed in
the vehicle must be approved. Further informa-
tion can be found in any Mercedes-Benz Com-
mercial Van Center. For operatio
nofmobile phones and two-way
radios, Mercedes-Benz recommends connec-
tion to an approved exterior antenna. This is the
only way to ensure optimum reception quality
inside the vehicle and to minimize mutual inter-
ference between the vehicle electronics, mobile
phones and two-way radios.
The transmission output of the mobile phone or
two-way radio may not exceed the following
maximum transmission output (PEAK):
Frequency rangeMaximum trans-
mission output

Additives
!Do notuse any additive sintheengin eoil.
This could damag ethe engine.
Engineo il viscosity
!If theSAE viscosit yclassoft heengin eoil
used does no tcover th eoutside temperature
range in whic hyou are operating th evehicle,
it mus tbechanged in goo dtime, in particular
before th ecolds eason commences. Using an
engin eoil that does no thavea dequate tem-
peratur echaracteristics can lead to engin e
damage.
The temperature range information of th eSAE
classification always refers to that of fresh oil.
The temperature characteristics of th eengine
oil may deteriorat esignificantly due to agin g
in use, especially at low outside tempera-
tures.
We recommen dthaty ou chang ethe engin e
oil before th ecolds eason commences. Use
an approve dengineo il of th especifie dSAE
class.
Engin eoil SA Eclassification
Viscosit yindicates th eflowc haracteristics of a
fluid .Ifane ngineo il has ahigh viscosity, this
mean stha titi sthick ;al ow viscosit ymean stha t
it is thin.
Dependin gontherespective outside tempera-
tures, select an engin eoil according to SA E
classification (viscosity). The table displays th e
SA Ec lassification to be used .The low temper-
atur echaracteristics of engin eoils can notice -
ably deteriorat eduring operation ,e.g.f ro m
aging, soo tand fuel accretion .For this reason ,
regular oil changes usin ganapprove dengineo il
from th esuitable SA Eclassification are urgently
recommended.
Oil change
Oil chang eintervals depend on th evehicle's
operating condition sand th equalit yoft he
engin eoil used .The on-board computer auto -
matically shows th edatef or th enexto il chang e
as an event message in th edisplay.
Mercedes-Benz recommends having th eoil
changed at aqualified specialist workshop .
Information abou toil consump tion
Dependin gonthedrivin gstyle, th evehicl econ-
sumes amaximum of 1. 0USqt(1.0l )ofe ngine
oil over adistance of 620 miles (1,000 km).
Oil consumption may be higher if:
Rthe vehicle is new.
Ryou mainly operate the vehicle under arduous
operating conditions.
Ryou frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Regularm aintenance is one of the preconditions
for moderate rates of consumption.
You can only estimate the oil consumption after
you have driven aconsiderable distance.
Check the engine oil level on aregular basis, e.g.
weekly or each time you refuel (
Ypage 242).
