When automatic climate control is activated,
the glove compartmen tcan be ventilated, for
instance to cool its contents .The level of air- flow depends on the airflow and air distribu-
tion settings.

Close the air vent when heating the vehi-

At high outside temperatures, open the air
vent and activate the "cooling with air dehu-
midification" function. Otherwise, temper-
ature-sensitive items stored in the glove
compartmentc ould be damaged. :

If no fuel other than regular petrol with
91 RON/82.5 MON or a lowerg
rade is per-
manently available, you should have the
vehicle adapted to run on this fuel in a
qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose.
C 350 BlueEFFICIENCY !
Only refuel using unleaded, sulphur-free
premium-grade petrol with at least
95 RON/85 MON, which conforms to Euro-
pean standard EN 228 or an equivalent
specification.
You can otherwise impair engine outpu tor
damage the emission control system.
i In some countries, the available petrol
may not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This
fuel can temporarily produce unpleasant
odours, especially on short journeys. As
soon as sulphur-free fuel (sulphur content
<10p pm) is used for refuelling, the odours
are reduced. Diesel (EN 590)
Fuel grade !
When refuelling, only use diesel fuel that
conform stothe European standard EN 590
or is of equivalent quality. You can other-
wise impair engine output or damage the
engine.
! Vehicles with diesel particle filters: in
countries outside the EU, only use low sul-
phur Euro diesel with a sulphurc ontent of
under 50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission
control system could be damaged.
! Vehicles without adiesel particle fil-
ter: in countries where only diesel fuels
with a higher sulphur conten tare available,
the vehicle's oil change intervals are
shorter. More information about intervals for changing the oil can be obtained from
any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
! Only use fuel that complies with the EN
590 European standard .Fuel that does not
comply with EN 590 can lead to increased
wear, engine damage and damag eto the
exhaust system.
Do not use the following:
R marine diesel
R heating oil
R bio-diesel
R vegetable oil
R petrol
R paraffin
R kerosene
Do not mix these fuels with diesel fuels and
do not use any special additives. Other-
wise, this can lead to damage to the engine.
This excludes flow improver; see "Low out-
side temperatures".
! Use a filter when adding fuel from a fuel
can. Otherwise, the fuel lines and/or the
diesel injection system could be blocked by
particles from the fuel can.
For further information on "Fuel", see
(Y page 354).
Low outside temperatures Diesel fuel with improved cold flow qualities
is available during the winter months. In
Europe, various climate-dependent low-tem-
perature classes are defined in EN 590. Refu-
elling with diesel fuel which complies with the
climatic specifications of standard EN 590
can help to prevent operating problems. At
exceptionally low temperatures, it is possible
that the flow properties of the fuel may be
inadequate. This also applies to fuel that has
not been adapted to suit the climatic condi-
tions, e.g. diesel fuel from warmer regions.
i Further information about country-spe-
cific fuel properties can be obtained from
oil companies, e.g. at filling stations. 154
