Specific engine sy
stems are designed tokeep
poisonous components of exhaust emissions
within legal limits.
These sy stems only workoptimally if they are
main tained exactly according tomanufacturer's
specifications. It is forth is reason that all work
on the engine should only be per form ed byquali‐
fi ed and authorized Mercedes-Benz Center tech‐
nicians.
Under no circum stances should engine settings
be changed. In addition, all specific main tenance
wo rkmust be per form ed at regular inter vals and
in compliance with the service regulations of the
dealer named in the imprint. Referto the Mainte‐
nance Booklet for de tails.
Note s on short-distance trips
If th eve hicle is predominantly used for short-dis‐
ta nce driving, fuel may accumulate in the engine
oil and cause engine damage.
If yo u main lydrive short dis tances, you should
drive on a free way or go for a country drive for 20 minutes
every480 km (300 miles). This facili‐
ta testh ere ge neration of the diesel particulate fil‐

WARNING Risk of inju rythro ugh exceed‐
ing the specified tire load rating or the

Exceeding the specified tire load rating or the
permissible speed rating may lead totire
dama geand tothe tires bur sting. #
Therefore, only use tire types and sizes
appr ovedfo ryo ur vehicle model. #
Obser vethe tire load rating and speed
ra ting requ ired foryo ur vehicle. As
the driver, you must find out about the maxi‐
mum permissible speed forth e tires (tire and tire
pressure). In particular, obser vethe legal requ ire‐

discs which are appr ovedby Mercedes-Benz
ins talled on your vehicle.
Other brake discs or brakepads may compromise

Pa rking brake &
WARNING Risk of skidding or an acci‐
dent bybraking with the parking brake
If yo u ha vetobrake your vehicle with the
parking brake, the braking dis tance is consid‐
erab lylonger and the wheels may loc k.There
is an increased risk of skidding and/or acci‐
dent. #
Only brake theve hicle with the parking
brake if the service brake has failed. #
Inthis case, do not apply the parking
brake with too much forc e. #
Ifth e wheels loc k,immediately release
th e parking brake as much as required
fo rth e wheels toturn again. Ve
hicles with a manual parking brake
When driving on wetro ads or dirt-co vered sur fa‐
ces, road salt or dirt may getinto the parking
brake. This causes cor rosion and a reduction of
braking forc e.
In order topreve ntthis, drive with the parking
brake lightly applied from time totime.
When doing so, drive for a dis tance of appr ox‐
imately 300 ftat a maximum speed of 13mph
(20 km/h).
The brake lights do not light up when you brake
th eve hicle with the parking brake. Information about driving on

Hydroplaning &
WARNING Risk of aquaplaning because
tire tread is too low
Depending on the dep thofthewate r onthe
ro adw ay, aquaplaning can occur despite suf fi‐
cient tire tread dep thand low speed. #
Avoid tire ruts and brake carefully. The
refore , in heavy rain or other conditions in
which hydroplaning can occur, drive as follo ws:
R Reduce your speed
R Avoid tire ruts
R Brake carefully
Driving on flooded roads
Bear in mind that vehicles tr aveling in front or in
th e opposite direction create waves. This may
cause the maximum permissible dep thofwater
to be exc eeded. These no tes must be obser ved
under all circum stances. Otherwise, you can
damage the engine, electrics and transmission.
If yo u ha vetodrive on stre tches of road on which
wate r has collected, please bear in mind thefo l‐
lowing:
R The wate r level of standing water may not be
