The ECO star t/stopfunction thereby helps
you to reduce the fuel consumption and emis-
sions of your vehicle. The ECO start/stop function is activated each
time the engine is switched on. The system is
operational when ECO symbol

R vegetable oil
R petrol

Do not mix these fuels with diese lfuels 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".
! When refuellin gusing afuel can, use afil-
ter or use aclean clot hasafilter. Other-
wise, particles from the fuel can may block
the fuel lines and/or the diesel injection
system.
For further information on "Fuel", see
(Y page 313).
Low outsid etemperatures 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 specification sofstandard EN 590
can hel ptoprevent operatin gproblems. At
exceptionall ylow tempera tures, it is possible
that the flow properties of the fuel ma ybe
inadequate. This is also the case for fuel that
has not been adapted to the climatic specifi-
cations ,e.g. diese lfuel for warmer areas.
i Further information about country-spe-
cific fuel properties can be obtained from
oil companies, e.g. at filling stations.
Flow improver Flow improvers can be added to improve the
cold resistance of diesel fuel. The effective- ness of
aflow improver is not guaranteed with
every fuel.
Correc tdosage and thorough mixing ar edeci-
sive factor sinensuring improvement in low-
temperature resistance. Under certain cir-
cumstances, an excessive dosage may
actually decreas elow-temperatur eresist-
anc eand should therefor ebeavoided. Follow
th em anufacturer's dosing instructions.
Mix the additive with the diese ling ood time,
befor ethe flo wproperties of th ediesel
become inadequate. Malfunction scan other-
wise only be rectified by heating the entire
fuel system, e.g. by parking the vehicle in a
heated garage.
Observe the information provided by the man-
ufacturer when using aflow improver. Only
use flow improvers that have been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. You can obtain
further infor mation from any Mercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre. Refuelling

i Depending on the engine, the difference
between the minimum mark and the maxi-
mum mark is approximately 1.5 –2litres.
! Do not add too muc hoil. If the oil level is
above the "max "mark on the dipstick, too
