Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models as
well as standard and optional equipment of your
vehicle that were available at the time of going
to print. Country-specific variations are possi-
ble. Note that your vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the described functions. This also
applies to systems and functions relevant to
safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (
Ypage 31).
Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
!
Only have engine electronics and the corre-
sponding parts, such as control units, 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 others can suffer health-related dam-
age through electromagnetic radiation. By using
an exterior antenna, a possible health risk
caused by electromagnetic fields, as discussed
in scientific circles, is taken into account. Only
have the exterior antenna installed by a qualified specialist workshop.
Electrical and electronic devices may have a
detrimental effect on both the comfort and the
operating safety of the vehicle. If equipment of
this kind is installed, its electromagnetic com-
patibility must be checked and verified.
If these devices are linked to functions associ-
ated with resistance to interference, they must
have type approval. This applies to the device or
its interfaces to the vehicle electronics, e.g.
charging brackets.
A telephone or two-way radio to be installed in
the vehicle must be approved. You can obtain
further information from any Mercedes-Benz
Commercial Van Center. For operation of mobile 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):

mission output

Additives
!Do notuse any additive sin th eengin eoil.
This could damag eth eengine.
Engine oil viscosity
!If th eSA Eviscosit yclas sof th eengin eoil
used does no tcover th eoutside temperature
range in whic hyou are operating th evehicle,
it mus tbe changed in goo dtime, in particular
before th ecold season commences. Using an
engin eoil that does no thav eadequate tem-
peratur echaracteristics can lead to engin e
damage.
The temperature range information of th eSA E
classification always refers to that of fresh oil.
The temperature characteristics of th eengin e
oil may deteriorat esignificantly due to agin g
in use, especially at low outside tempera-
tures.
We recommen dthat you chang eth eengin e
oil before th ecold season commences. Use
an approve dengin eoil of th especifie dSA E
class.
Engin eoil SA Eclassification
Viscosit yindicates th eflo wcharacteristics of a
fluid .If an engin eoil has ahigh viscosity, this
mean sthat it is thick ; alow viscosit ymean sthat
it is thin.
Dependin gon th erespective outside tempera-
tures, select an engin eoil according to SA E
classification (viscosity). The table displays th e
SA Eclassification to be used .The low temper-
atur echaracteristics of engin eoils can notice -
ably deteriorat eduring operation ,e.g. from
aging, soo tand fuel accretion .Fo rthis reason ,
regular oil changes usin gan approve dengin eoil
from th esuitable SA Eclassification are urgently
recommended.
Oil change
Oil chang eintervals depend on th evehicle's
operating condition sand th equalit yof th e
engin eoil used .The on-board computer auto -
matically shows th edat efor th enext oil chang e
as an event message in th edisplay.
Mercedes-Benz recommends having th eoil
changed at aqualified specialist workshop .
Information about oil consump tion
Dependin gon th edrivin gstyle, th evehicl econ-
sumes amaximum of 1. 0US qt (1. 0l)of engine
oil over a distance 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.
Regular maintenance is one of the preconditions
for moderate rates of consumption.
You can only estimate the oil consumption after
you have driven a considerable distance.
Check the engine oil level on a regular basis, e.g.
weekly or each time you refuel (
Ypage 254).
