Low outside temperatures
In winter months, diesel fuel with an improved cold flow quality is available. In Europe, the
EN 590 standard defines various climate-
dependent temperature categories. Malfunc- tions can be avoided by refuelling with diesel
fuel that corresponds to the climatic specifi-
cations outlined in EN 590. At unusually low
outside temperatures, it is possible that the
flow characteristics of the diesel fuel could be
insufficient. Accordingly, diesel fuel from
warmer areas may not be suitable for opera-
tion in colder climatic conditions.
i Further information on country-specific
fuel properties and fuel types with low-tem-
perature resistance can be obtained from
oil companies, e.g. at filling stations.
Fuel consumption information H
Environmental note
CO 2(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
tists believe to be principally responsible for
global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your vehicle's CO 2emissions are directly related to
fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
R efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R driving style
R other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences, road conditions or
traffic flow
You can minimise your vehicle's CO 2emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in the following situations:
R at very low outside temperatures
R in urban traffic
R on short journeys R
in mountainous terrain
R when towing a trailer
i Only for certain countries: you can find
the current consumption and emissions
values of your vehicle in the COC docu-
ments (EU Certificate of Conformity).
These documents are delivered with your
vehicle.
The consumption figures were, in each
case, based on the currently applicable ver- sion:
R for vehicles that comply with standards
up to and including the EURO 4 standard,
in accordance with EU Directive
80/1268/EEC
R for vehicles that comply with or exceed
the EURO 5 standard, in accordance with
Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007
Deviations from these values may occur
under normal operating conditions. Engine oil
General notes When handling engine oil, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 396).
The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
engine oils that correspond to the current
technical standard.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines.
Further information on tested and approved
engine oils can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you have the oil
change carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz approval is indica- ted on the oil container by the inscription
"MB-Freigabe" or "MB-Approval" and the cor-
responding designation, e.g. MB-Freigabe or
MB-Approval 229.51. 400
