The following components of the different vehi-
cle versions influence fuel consumption:
Rtire sizes, tire tread, tire pressure, tire condi-
tion
Rtransmission ratios for the drive assemblies
Radditional equipment (e.g. air-conditioning
system, auxiliary heating system)
For these reasons, the actual consumption fig-
ures for your vehicle may deviate from the con-
sumption figures determined according to EU
Directive 80/1268/EE C.
Details on fuel consumption can be called up in
the on-board computer:

Engine oil
General notes
When handling engine oil, observe the important
safety notes on operating fluids (Ypage 306).
The quality of the engine oil used is of decisive
importance for the engine's functionality and
operating life. Mercedes-Benz continually
approves engine oils based on complex experi-
ments according to the current state of the art. Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines. Mercedes-Benz recommends having
the oil changed at a qualified specialist work-
shop. Information about engine oils approved by
Mercedes-Benz can be obtained:

tems
Cargo tie-down points
General notes
!Observe the information on the maximum
loading capacity of the individual cargo tie-
down points.
If you use several cargo tie-down points to
secure a load, you must always take the max-
imum loading capacity of the weakest cargo
tie-down point into account.
If you brake hard, for example, the forces act-
ing could be up to several times the weight
force of the load. Always use multiple cargo
tie-down points in order to distribute the force absorption. Load the anchorages evenly.
You will find additional information about cargo
tie-down points and cargo tie-down rings in the
"Securing loads" section (
Ypage 246).
