Introduction
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or malfunctioned, you may not recognize function restric-
tions in systems relevant to safety. The operating safety of your vehicle may be impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have the vehicle checked at a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
The on-board computer only shows messages or warnings from certain systems in the instru-
ment cluster display. You should therefore make sure your vehicle is operating safely at all
times. If the operating safety of your vehicle is impaired, stop the vehicle as soon as possible,
paying attention to road and traffic conditions. Then consult a qualified specialist workshop. 194

Maintenance
General notes
H
Environmental note
Observe measures to protect the environ-
ment when working on the vehicle. You
must observe the legal requirements when
disposing 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 environmen-
tally responsible manner. Comply with the
instructions 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 docu-
ments relating to maintenance measures and
repairs:
R relevant sections of the technical documen-
tation such as the Operator's Manual and
workshop information
R legal stipulations such as work safety regu-
lations and accident prevention regulations
While working under the vehicle, you must
secure the vehicle on jack stands with suffi-
cient 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
(Y page 32).
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 Opera-
tor'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
Warranty. You will find information about ser- vice products approved by Mercedes-Benz and
capacities under "Service products and capaci-
ties"

(Y page 305)
Maintenance services must be carried out in
accordance with the provisions and recom-
mendations in the Maintenance Booklet. Not
doing so could void the warranty claim and
lead to refusal of goodwill gestures after the
manufacturer has submitted a damage report.
Observe the information under "Mercedes-
Benz genuine parts" (Y page 34). 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.
i The service interval display does not pro-
vide information about the engine oil level.
The service interval display should therefore
not be confused with the engine oil level dis-
play.
For example, the display shows one of the fol-
lowing service messages for a few seconds: R Service A in .. days
R Service A Due or Service A Due
R Serv. 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
overdue service date is shown. The letter in
the display message indicates which service is
due. A stands for a minor service and B for a
major service.
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 mainte-
nance work, for example. Maintenance

WARNING
A discharged battery can freeze at tempera-
tures below freezing point. When jump-start-
ing the vehicle or charging the battery,
gases can escape from the battery. There is
a risk of an explosion.
Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before
charging it or jump-starting.
If the indicator/warning lamps do not light up
in the instrument cluster when temperatures
are low, it is probably because the discharged
battery has frozen. Should this be the case, do
not jump-start the vehicle or charge the bat-
tery. The service life of a thawed battery may
be shorter. Start-up behavior may deteriorate,
in particular at low temperatures. Have the 262
