Immedia tely rinse su rfaces that come in
con tact wi thDEF when filling with water
or remo veDEF wi tha damp clo thand
cold water.
If DEF has already cr ystallized, clean using a
spon geand cold water. If
yo u open the DEF tank, small amounts of
ammonia vapor may be released. Do not inhale
any ammonia vapor that may be released. Fill the
DEF tank only in well-ventilated areas.
DEF consum ption and filling capacity
DEF consum ption
Like fuel consum ption, DEF consum ption is highly
dependent upon driving style and operating con‐
ditions. DEF consum ption is usually within a
ra nge of 0 and 10% of the fuel consum ption. If
necessar y,DEF mu stbe refilled in acco rdance
with the instructions when there fill message is
displa yed in the instrument clus ter.This may also
be necessary between the scheduled mainte‐
nance.

The vehicle must be operated with DEF if the
ex haust gas af tertre atment sy stem is tofunction
cor rectl y.
If yo u operate theve hicle without DEF or with
emissions-rele vant malfunctions, the legal MOT
appr oval is in validated. The vehicle could be pro‐
hibited from public road use byan of ficial ordi‐
nance.
It may be improper or punishable in some coun‐
tries tooperate a vehicle that uses no DEF or one
th at does not comply with the specifications of
th ese operating instructions.
Engine management monitors theex haust gas
af te rtre atment components for compliance with
emissions la wsand regulations. If you attem ptto
operate theve hicle without DEF, with diluted DEF
or with a dif fere nt reducing agent, this will be
de tected bythe engine management sy stem.
Other emissions- releva nt malfunctions, e.g.
me tering malfunctions or sensor er rors, are also
de tected and log ged. The engine management sy
stem subsequently
pr eve nts the engine being restar ted af ter issuing
a wa rning message.
Therefore add DEF tank regular lyduring vehicle
operation or, at the latest, af terre ceiving thefirst
wa rning message via the instrument clus ter. Engine oil

If th e engine oils lis ted in theta ble are not availa‐

of thefo llowing engine oils once only:
R Vehicles with a gasoline engine: MB-Frei‐

TEEngine damage due toincor rect
SA E classi fication (viscosity) of the
engine oil If
th eSA E classi fication (viscosity) of the
engine oil added is not suitable for prolonged
low outside temp eratures, it may cause
engine damage.
The temp erature readings of theSA E classi fi‐
cation are al ways based on fresh oil. Engine
oil ages when driving as a result of soot and
fuel residue. The characteristics of engine oil
de teriorate significantly at low outside tem‐
peratures. #
Use an engine oil of the appropriate SAE
classi fication at low outside temp era‐
tures. #
Use oil for all-year-round operation. The
temp erature readings of theSA E classi fica‐
tion are al ways based on fresh oil. The temp era‐
ture characteristics of the engine oil, especially at
low outside temp eratures, can de teriorate signifi‐
cantly due toaging when driving.
Therefore, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
ch ange the engine oil before thest art of the cold
season. Only use an appr oved engine oil in the
prescribed SAE classi fication forth is purpose. The viscosity indicates
theflow characteristics of
a fluid. With rega rd toengine oil, a high viscosity
is synonymous with thick liquid and a low viscos‐
ity with thin liquid. Depending on the outside
te mp eratures, select the engine oil according to
th eSA E classi fication (viscosity). The table sho ws
th eSA E classi fications tobe used. The low tem‐
perature characteristics of engine oils can de teri‐
orate significantly during operation due toaging
and soot and fuel acc retion, forex ample. A regu‐
lar oil change with an appr oved engine oil in the
appropriate SAE classi fication is therefore
stro ngly recommended. Te

TEEngine damage due touse of addi‐
tives in the engine oil The use of additional additives in
the engine
oil can damage the engine. #
Do not use any additional additives in
the engine oil. Miscibility of engine oil
The benefits of high-quality engine oils are
re
duced bymixing oil.
We recommend that you on lyuse engine oil of
th e same grade and SAE classi fication as the oil
fi lled at the last oil change. If, in exceptional
cases, engine oil of the type in the engine is not
av ailable, use ano ther appr oved mineral or syn‐
th etic engine oil.
Ve hicles with a diesel engine: ifth e grade is
not available, you may also refill with engine oils
acco rding toMB-F reigabe or MB-Appr oval 228.5,
229.3 or 229.5. The refill qu antity is then limited
to maximum 1.1 US qt (1.0 liter).
Yo u must then ha vean oil change car ried out at

The brake fluid con stant lyabsorbs 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. #
