Maintenance
General notes
HEnvironmental note
Observe measures to protect the environ-
ment when working on the vehicle. You must
observe the legal requirements when dispos-
ing of service products, e.g. engine oil. This
also includes all components, e.g. filters,
which have come into contact with service
products. Any qualified specialist workshop
can provide information about this.
Dispose of empty containers, cleaning cloths
and care products in an environmentally
responsible manner. Comply with the instruc-
tions for use of the care products.
Do not run the engine for longer than neces-
sary when the vehicle is stationary.
Before carrying out maintenance measures and
repairs, you must read the following documents
relating to maintenance measures and repairs:
Rrelevant sections of the technical documen-
tation such as the Operator's Manual and
workshop information
Rlegal stipulations such as work safety regula-
tions and accident prevention regulations
While working under the vehicle, you must
secure the vehicle on jack stands with sufficient load capacity.
Never use a vehicle jack instead of stands. The
jack is designed only to raise the vehicle for a
short time when changing a wheel. It is not
suited for performing maintenance work under
the vehicle.
Please also refer to the notes about qualified
specialist workshops (
Ypage 31).
The scope and regularity of the inspection and
maintenance work primarily depend on the
often diverse operating conditions. Specialist
knowledge beyond the scope of this Operator's
Manual is required when carrying out testing
and maintenance work. This work should only be
carried out by trained staff.
The vehicle Maintenance Booklet describes the scope and frequency of maintenance work and
contains additional notes on the Limited War-
ranty. You will find information about service
products approved by Mercede s-Benz a
ndcapacities under "Service products and capaci-
ties" (
Ypage 304)
Maintenance services must be carried out in
accordance with the provisions and recommen- dations in the Maintenance Booklet. Not doing
so could void the warranty claim and lead to
refusal of goodwill gestures after the manufac-
turer has submitted a damage report.
Observe the information under "Mercedes-Benz
genuine parts" (
Ypage 33).
Service interval display
General notes
The service interval display informs you of the
next service due date. Information on the type of
service and service intervals can be found in the
Maintenance Booklet.
iThe service interval display does not provide
information about the engine oil level. The
service interval display should therefore not
be confused with the engine oil level display.
For example, the display shows one of the fol-
lowing service messages for a few seconds:
RService A in .. days
RService A Dueor Service A Due
RServ. A Exceed. by .. Days
Then either the remaining time or distance until
the next service due date is displayed. If the
service due date has been exceeded, the
elapsed time or distance traveled after the over-
due service date is shown. The letter in the dis-
play message indicates which service is due. A
stands for a minor service andBfor a major ser-
vice.
A qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Commercial Van Center,
will reset the service interval display after the
service work has been carried out. You can also
obtain further information on maintenance
work, for example.
The prescribed service interval is based on nor- mal vehicle use. Service work will need to be
performed more frequently than prescribed if
the vehicle is operated under more arduous con-
ditions or with higher loads. Such arduous con-
ditions include:
Rregular city driving with frequent intermediate
stops
Rdriving predominantly short distances

Maintenance and care
Z

REnsure sufficient ventilation when clean-
ing.
RMake sure that the vehicle interior is com-
pletely dry after cleaning.
Cleaning the display
!For cleaning, do not use any of the following:
Ralcohol-based thinner or gasoline
Rabrasive cleaning agents
Rcommercially-available household cleaning
agents
These may damage the display surface. Do
not put pressure on the display surface when
cleaning. This could lead to irreparable dam-
age to the display.
XSwitch off the display and let it cool down.
XClean the display surface with a commercially
available microfiber cloth and cleaner for
TFT/LCD displays.
XDry the display surface using a dry microfiber
cloth.
Cleaning the plastic trim
GWARNING
Care products and cleaning agents containing solvents cause surfaces in the cockpit to
become porous. As a result, plastic parts may
come loose in the event of air bag deploy-
ment. There is a risk of injury.
Do not use any care products and cleaning
agents to clean the cockpit.
!Do not affix the following to plastic surfaces:
Rstickers
Rfilms
Rscented oil bottles or similar items
You can otherwise damage the plastic.
!Do not allow cosmetics, insect repellent or
sunscreen to come into contact with the plas-
tic trim. This maintains the high-quality look of
the surfaces.
XWipe the plastic trim and the cockpit with a
damp, lint-free cloth, e.g. a microfiber cloth.
XHeavy soiling: use a mild detergent or care
products and cleaning agents recommended
and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Cleaning the steering wheel and selec-
tor lever
XThoroughly wipe with a damp cloth.
XVehicles with leather upholstery: after
cleaning, use leather care agents that have
been recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
Cleaning the trim elements
!Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents
such as tar remover, wheel cleaners, polishes
or waxes. There is otherwise a risk of damag- ing the surface.
XWipe the trim elements with a damp, lint-free
cloth, e.g. a microfiber cloth.
XHeavy soiling: use care products and clean-
ing agents recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
Cleaning the seat covers
!Do not use microfiber cloths to clean genu-
ine leather or artificial leather covers. If used
often, a microfiber cloth can damage the
cover.
!Clean:
Rartificial leather covers with a cloth mois-
tened with a solution containing 1 %deter-
gent, e.g. dish washing liquid.
Rcloth covers with a microfiber cloth mois-
tened with a solution containing 1 %deter-
gent, e.g. dish washing liquid. Wipe entire
seat sections carefully to avoid leaving visi-
ble lines. Leave the seat to dry afterwards.
Cleaning results depend on the type of dirt
and how long it has been there.
Rgenuine leather covers carefully with a
damp cloth, then wipe the covers down
with a dry cloth. Make sure that the leather does not become soaked. Otherwise, the
leather could become rough or cracked.
Only use leather care agents that have
been tested and approved by Mercedes-
Benz. You can obtain these from a qualified
specialist workshop.
iPlease keep in mind that:
Rleather covers are a natural product and, as
such, are subject to a natural aging proc-
ess. Leather may react differently, e.g.
268Care
Maintenance and care

Check the antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor con-
centration inthe coolant every six months.
The percentage of corrosion inh ibitor/ant i-
freeze additiveinthe engine co oling system
should:
Rbe at least 50 %.This way, the engine co oling
system isprotected against freezing downto
approximate ly-35 ‡ (-37 †).
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection down
to -49 ‡ [-45 †]). Other wise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor that meets the requirements
in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
Products Sheet Number 325.
More information can be obtained at any quali-
fied specialist workshop.

Important safety notes
The climate control system of your vehicle is fil-
led with the refrigerant R‑ 134a.
The warning label for the refrigerant being used
can be found on the radiator cross member.
!Only the refrigerant R ‑134a and the PAG oil
approved by Mercedes-Benz may be used.
The approved PAG oil may not be mixed with
any other PAG oil that is not approved for
R-134a refrigerant. Otherwise, the climate
control system may be damaged. Maintenance work such as adding refrigerant or
replacing components may only be carried out
by a qualified specialist workshop. All applicable
regulations thereto and the SAE standard J639
must be adhered to.
All work on the climate control system should
always be carried out at qualified specialist
workshop.
