Further information on country-specific
fuel properties can be obtained from oil
companies, e.g. at filling stations.
Flow improver
To improve the low-temperature resistance of
diesel fuel, a flow improve rcan be attached.
The effectiveness of a flow improve ris not
guaranteed for every fuel.
Only use flow improvers tested and approved
by Mercedes-Benz.D uringuse, please
observe the information on operation.
Correct dosage and sufficient mixing are deci-
sive in improving low-temperature resistance
with the flow improver. Overdosage can
potentially even decrease low-temperature
resistance and must therefore be avoided.
Follow the manufacturer's guidelines on dos-
age.
Mix the additive into the diesel in good time,
before the flow characteristics of the diesel
become insufficient. Otherwise, malfunctions
can arise through heating the fuel system,
e.g. through parking in a heated garage.
More information aboutr ecommended flow
improvers can be obtained from any qualified
specialist workshop.
Notes on fuel consumption 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 efficien tuse of the fuel by the engine
R driving style
R other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences or road conditions
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 emission val-
ues of your vehicle in the COC documents
(EU CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These
documents are delivered with your vehicle.
The consumption figures were in each case
based on the currently applicable version:
R for vehicles up to and including the EURO
4s tandard, in accordance with EU Direc-
tive 80/1268/EEC
R for vehicles above the EURO 5standard,
in accordance with Regulatio n(EC) No.
715/2007
Deviations fro mthese values may occur
under normal operating conditions. Engine oil
Points to remember The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Ben
zapproves
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-
Ben zrecommends that you have the oil
change carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benza pproval is indica-
ted on the oil container by the inscription "MB
Approval" and the corresponding designa-
tion, e.g. MB Approval 229.51. 314

24-GHz radar sensor system (country overview)
The 24 GHz radar sensor system requires separate approval for each country. If you are driving
in a country in which the radar sensor system is not approved, you must deactivate the system
using the on-board computer (Y page 203).
The current country overview can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Vehicles with anavigation system: the radar sensor system is deactivated automatically
near radio telescope facilities. Adisplay message appears in the multifunction display to tell
you that the radar sensor system is being switched off (Y page 222).
If Blind Spot Assist is active, it will be deactivated automatically (Y page 177).
If the deactivation does not occur automatically, you must deactivate the radar sensor system
using the on-board computer (Y page 203).
23 At a minimum gradient-climbing capability of 12% fro mastandstill.
24 The drawbarn oseweight is not included in the trailer load.
