the jacking point of the vehicle.
Observe the following when raising the vehi- cle:
R only use the vehicle-specifi cjack that has
been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz
to rais ethe vehicle. If the jack is used incor-
rectly, it could tip over while the vehicl eis
raised.
R the jack is designed only to rais eand hold the
vehicl efor as hort time while awhee lisb eing

form maintenance work under the vehicle.
R avoi dchanging the whee lonuphill and down-
hill slopes.
R before raising the vehicle, safeguard it from
rolling awaybya pplying the parking brake and
positioning whee lchocks. Do not release the
parking brake while the vehicl eisraised.
R the jack must be placed on afirm, flat and
non-slip surface. On aloose surface, alarge,
flat load-bearing underlay must be used .Ona
slippery surface, anon-slip underlay must be
used ,e.g. rubber mats.
R do not use wooden blocks or similar objects
as ajack underlay.O therwise, the jack willn ot
be abletoa chieve its load-bearing capacity
due to the restricted height.
R make sure that the distance betwee nthe
underside of the tyres and the ground does
not exceed 3cm.
R never place yourh ands or feet under the
raised vehicle.
R do not lie under the vehicle.
R do not start the engine when the vehicl eis

R do not open or close adoor or the boot lid
when the vehicl eisraised.
R make sure that no persons are present in the
vehicl ewhen the vehicl eisraised.
Vehicles with light-alloy wheels and hub
caps: the whee lbolts are covered by ahub cap.
Before you can unscrew the whee lbolts, you
must remove the hub cap. Two different variants
can be fitted. Vehicles with plastic hub cap:
X To remove: turn the centre cover of hub

X To fit: before fitting, ensure that hub cap :is
in the open position. To do this, turn the
centre cover anti-clockwise.
X Position hub cap :and turn the centre cover

X Make sure that hub cap :is fitted securely. Vehicles with aluminium hub cap:
X To remove: take socket;and whee lwrench

Fuel of this specification may contain up to
10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use
with E10 fuel. You may refuel your vehicle
using E10 fuel.
! As
atemporary measure, if the recommen-
ded fuel is not available, you may also use
unleaded petro lwith an octane ratin gof
95 RON. This may reduce engin eperform-
ance and increase fuel consumption .Asmuch
as possible, avoid driving at full throttle.
! As
atemporary measure, if the recommen-
ded fuel is not available, you may also use

Doin gsor esults in noticeably higher fuel con-
sumption ,and the engin epower output is
noticeably reduced. Avoid driving at full throt- tle.
If no fuel other than petro lwith 91 RON or a
lower grade is available, you should have the
vehicle adapted to run on this fuel at aquali-
fied specialist workshop.
C2 00, C250
! Only refuel using sulphur-free unleaded pet-
rol with at least 95 ROZ ,that conform stothe
European standard EN 228 or EDIN or an
equivalent specification.
You could otherwise impair engin eoutput or
damage the emission control system.
i In some countries, the available petro

! Only refuel using super unleaded petro
lwith
at least 98 ROZ, if you want maximum per-
formance from the engine. Alternatively, you
can also use unleaded petro lofatleast
95 ROZ.
As atemporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular
unleaded petro lwith an octane ratin gof
91 ROZ. Doin gsoresults in higher fuel con-
sumption and significantly reduced perform-
ance. Never refuel using fuel with alower
RON.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to
10% ethanol.
Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 or EDIN
51626–1 can lead to increased wear as well
as damage to the engin eand exhaust system.
Additives ! Operatin
gthe engin ewith fuel additives
added later can lead to engin efailure. Do not
mix fuel additives with fuel. This does not
include additives for the removal and preven-
tion of residue build-up. Petro lmust only be
mixed with additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benz.O bserve the instructions for
use in the product description. More informa- tion about recommended additives can be
obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use fuel
brands that have additives.
The quality of the fuel available in some coun-
tries may not be sufficient. Residue could build
up in the fuel injection system as aresult. In this
case, in consultation with aMercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre, the petro lmay be mixed with the
cleanin gadditive recommended by Mercedes-
Benz. Always observe the notes and mixing
ratios specified on the container.

General notes When handling engine oil, observe the important
safety notes on service products (Y page 371).
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 tech-
nical 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 recom-
mends that you have the oil change carried out
at aq ualifieds pecialist workshop. Mercedes-
Benz approval is indicated on the oil container
by the inscription "MB-Freigabe" or "MB-
Approval "and the corresponding designation,
e.g. MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 229.51. You can call up an overview of approved engine
oils on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com by entering
the designation, e.g. 229.5.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for yourv ehicle.
Petrol engines: in certain countries, different
engine oils can be used,p rovidedthat the main-
tenance intervals are reduced .For more infor-

ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool dow nbefore yo utop up
the antifreeze .Make sur ethat antifreeze is
not spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clea
nthe antifreeze from components before
starting the engine.
! Only ad
dcoolant that has bee npremixed
with the desire dantifreeze protection. You
coul dotherwise damag ethe engine.
Furthe rinformatio noncoolants can be found
in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Ser-
vice Products, MB Specifications for Service
Products 310.1, e.g. on the Internet at

aq ualifie dspecialist workshop.
! Always use
asuitabl ecoolant mixture, even
in countries where hig htemperatures prevail.
Otherwise ,the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace- ment confirmed in the Service Booklet.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products whe nhandling coolant
(Y page 371).
The coolant is amixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It is responsible for
the following:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If antifreeze/corrosion inhibito rispresent in the
correct concentration, the boiling point of the
coolant during operation will be approximately
130 †.
The antifreeze concentrate/corrosion inhibitor
concentration in the engine cooling system
should:
R be at least 50%. Thi swillp rotect the engine
cooling system against freezing dow nto
approximatel y-37 †.
R not excee d55% (antifreeze protection down
to -45 †). Hea twillo therwise not be dissipa-
ted as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibito rconcentrate in accordance
with MB Specifications for Service Products
310.1.
i Whe
nthe vehicle is first delivered, it is filled
with acoolant mixtur ethat ensures adequate
antifreeze and corrosion protection. 376
