The maximum permissible gross vehicle weight is
made up of the vehicle weight, all vehicle occu-
pants, the fuel and the load. The maximum gross
axle weight rating is the maximum weight that can be carried on one axle (front or rear axle).
Never exceed the maximum permissible gross
vehicle weight or the maximum gross axle weight
rating for the front or rear axle.

Notes on operating "Ouids
*NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehiclesObserve the notes in the Supplement.
You could otherwise fail to recognize
dangers.&WARNING Risk of injury due to harmful
operating "Ouids
Operating "Ouids can be toxic.
When using, storing and disposing of
operating "Ouids, observe the imprints on
the respective original containers.Always keep operating "Ouids in the
sealed original container.Always keep children away from operat-
ing "Ouids.+ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Pollution of the
environment due to irresponsible disposal
of operating "Ouids
Incorrect disposal of operating "Ouids can
cause considerable damage to the environ- ment.
Dispose of operating "Ouids in an environ-
mentally responsible manner.
Operating "Ouids include the following:
= Fuels
= Lubricants
= Coolant
= Brake "Ouid
= Windshield washer "Ouid
= Climate control system refrigerant
Only use products approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Damage caused by the use of products that have not been approved is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz warranty or goodwill gestures.
The operating "Ouids approved by Mercedes-Benz
can be identi"Ned by the following inscriptions on
the container:
= MB-Freigabe (e.g. MB-Freigabe 229.51)
= MB-Approval (e.g. MB-Approval 229.51)
Further information on approved operating "Ouids:
= in the Mercedes-Benz Speci"Ncations for Oper-
ating Fluids by entering the designation

benz.com
= At a quali"Ned specialist workshop&WARNING Risk of "Nre or explosion from
fuel
Fuels are highly "Oammable.
Fire, open "Oames, smoking and creating
sparks must be avoided.Before and during refueling, switch o"M
the vehicle and, if installed, the station- ary heater.452Technical data

&WARNING Risk of injury from fuels
Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to your
health.
Do not swallow fuel or let it come into
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.Do not inhale fuel vapor.Keep children away from fuel.Keep doors and windows closed during
the refueling process.
If you or other people come into contact with
fuel, observe the following:
Immediately rinse fuel o"M your skin with
soap and water.If fuel comes into contact with your eyes, immediately rinse them thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical attention
immediately.If you swallow fuel, seek medical atten-
tion immediately. Do not induce vomit-
ing.Change immediately out of clothing that has come into contact with fuel.Flexible-fuel vehicles can be refueled with the fol-lowing fuel types:
= premium-grade unleaded gasoline
= E85 fuel
= a mixture of E85 fuel and premium-grade
unleaded gasoline
Flexible-fuel vehicles can be identi"Ned by the
Ethanol up to E85 sticker on the inside of the fuel
"Nller "Oap.
Depending on the country, the fuels you can use in your vehicle may di"Mer from the information in
the Operator\bs Manual. The fuels that have been
approved for your vehicle can be found on the
instruction label on the inside of the fuel "Nller "Oap.Fuel

q Information on fuel quality for vehicles with a
gasoline engine
Observe the notes on operating "Ouids
(  page 452).
*NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system, the
engine and the emission control system.
Only refuel with low-sulfur spark-ignition
engine fuel.
This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol by vol- ume. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel.
Never refuel with one of the following fuels: = diesel
= Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by
volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100
= Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by
volume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100
Technical data453

=Gasoline with additives containing metal
If you have accidentally refueled with the
wrong fuel:Do not switch on the vehicle.Consult a quali"Ned specialist workshop.
If the available fuel is not su"Pciently low in sulfur,
it may produce unpleasant odors.
Refuel using only fuel that has at least the octane number speci"Ned on the information label on the
fuel "Nller "Oap ( page 201). Otherwise, engine
output may be reduced and fuel consumption
increased.
For maximum engine output: refuel using only pre-
mium-grade unleaded gasoline with an octane
number of at least 91 AKI/95 RON.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended fuel is not available, you may also refuel with regular
unleaded gasoline with at least 87 AKI/91 RON. This may reduce engine output and increase fuelconsumption.
Never refuel using gasoline with a lower RON.
*NOTE Premature engine wear through
unleaded regular gasoline
Impairment of the longevity and performance
of the engine.
If unleaded premium grade gasoline is unavail- able and you have to refuel using unleaded
regular gasoline:
Only "Nll the fuel tank to half full with
unleaded regular gasoline and re"Nll as
soon as possible with unleaded premium
grade gasoline.Do not drive at the maximum design speed.Avoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds over 3000 rpm.

qInformation on additives in gasoline (vehicles
with gasoline engine)
Observe the notes on operating "Ouids
(  page 452).*NOTE Damage from use of unsuitable
additives
Even small amounts of the wrong additive may
lead to malfunctions occurring.
Only add cleaning additives recommen-
ded by Mercedes-Benz to the fuel.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use brand-
name fuels with additives.
In some countries, the fuel available may not have
su"Pcient additives. Deposits could build up in the
fuel injection system as a result. In this case, in consultation with a quali"Ned specialist workshop
(e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Service Cen- ter), mix the fuel with the cleaning additive recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz. Observe the notes and mixing ratios indicated on the tank.

intervals.Do not alter the engine oil or oil "Nlter in
order to achieve longer change intervals than prescribed.Do not use additives.Have the engine oil changed a"ser the
prescribed intervals.
Mercedes-Benz recommends having the oil
changed at a quali"Ned specialist workshop.
Only use engine oils approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz.

Notes on brake "Ouid
Observe the notes on operating "Ouids
(  page 452).
&WARNING Risk of an accident due to
vapor pockets forming in the brake system
The brake "Ouid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake "Ouid. If the boiling point is too low,
vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard.
This causes the braking e"Mect to be impaired.
Have the brake "Ouid renewed at the
speci"Ned intervals.Have the brake "Ouid regularly replaced at a quali-
"Ned specialist workshop.
Only use a brake "Ouid approved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 331.0.
Coolant

q Notes on coolant
Observe the notes on operating "Ouids
(  page 452).
&WARNING !

Proportion of antifreeze concentrate in the cool-ing system:
= A minimum of 50% (antifreeze protection down
to about -35°F (-37°C))
= A maximum of 55% (antifreeze protection
