Only fill th e fuel tank tohalf full with
unleaded regular gasoline and top up as
soon as possible with unleaded pre‐

Do not drive at the maximum speed. #
Avoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds over 3000 rpm. This may
reduce engine per form ance and
inc rease fuel consum ption. Ne verre fuel using

WARNING Risk of an accident due to
va por poc kets form ing in the brake sys‐
tem
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lo wersthe boiling point of
th e brake fluid. If the boiling point is too lo w,
va por poc kets may form inthe brake sy stem
when the brakes are applied hard.
This causes the braking ef fect to be
impaired. #
Have the brake fluid rene we d at the
specified inter vals. Ha
ve the brake fluid regularly replaced at a
qu alified specialist workshop.
Only use brake fluid appr ovedby Mercedes-Benz
according toMB-F reigabe or MB-Appr oval 33 1.0.
