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 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

eral information i
When towing atrail er,s et the tyr epres-
sure on th erear axle of the towing vehicle
for am aximum load; se ethe tyr epressure
table in th efuel filler flap.
You will find installatio ndimensions and loads
in the "Technical data” section
(Y page 322).
The maximum permissible trailer drawbar
noseweight on the ball coupling is 75 kg.
However ,the actual noseweight must not
exceed the value given on the trailer tow hitch
and trailer identification plates. The lowest
weight applies.
! Use anoseweight as close as possible to
the maximum permissible noseweight .Do
not use anoseweight of less than 50 kg,
otherwise the trailer ma ycome loose.
Bear in min dthat the payload and the rear
axl eload ar ereduced by the actual nose-
weight.
Please not ethat when towing atrailer, PARK-
TRONIC (Y page 174) and parkin gguidance
(Y page 177 )are onl yavail ablew ith limita-
tions, or not at all.
i The height of the ball coupling changes
with the load of the vehicle. If necessary,
use atrailer wit haheight-adjustable draw-
bar.
Driving tips i
Observ ethe notes on ESP ®
trailer stabi-
lisation (Y page 58).
In Germany, the maximum permissible speed
for vehicle/ trailer combinations depends on
the type of trailer and is either 80 km/ hor
100 km/h. In some countries ,higher maxi-
mum speeds are permissible for vehicle/
trailer combinations. Befor ebeginnin gthe
journey ,check the trailer's documen tsto see
what the maximum permitted speed is.
For certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the max-
imum permissible rear axle load is increased
when towing atrailer. Refer to th e"Technical data
"section to fin dout whether this applies
to your vehicle. If you utilise any of the added
maximum rear axle load when towing atrailer,
th ev ehicle/ trailer combination may not
exceed amaximum spee dof100 km/h for
reasons concerning the operating permit.
This als oapplies in countries in which the
permissible maximum speed for vehicle/
trailer combinations is above 10 0km/h.
When towing atrailer, your vehicle's handling
characteristics wil lbedifferent in comparison
to when drivin gwithout atrailer.
Th ev ehicle/ trailer combination:
R is heavier
R is restricted in its acceleration and gradi-
ent-climbin gcapability
R has an increased braking distance
R is affected more by stron gcrosswinds
R demand smore sensitive steering
R consume smore fuel
On long and steep downhil lgradients ,you
must shift to alower gear in good time, or on
vehicles with automatic transmission ,select
the shift range 1,2or 3.
i This also applies if you have activated
cruise control, SPEEDTRONIC or DI S-
TRONIC PLUS.
This will use the brakin geffect of th eengine,
so les sbraking wil lberequired to maintain
the speed. This relieves the load on the brake
system and prevent sthe brakes from over-
heating and wearing too quickly .Ifyou need
additional braking, depress the brake pedal
repeatedly rather than con tinuously.
Driving tips R
Maintain agreater distance from th evehi-
cle in front than when driving without a
trailer.
R Avoid braking abruptly. If possible, brake
gently at first to allow the trailer to run on.
Then increase the braking force rapidly.
R The values given for gradient-climbing
capabilities from astandstill refer to sea 188

p-starting G
Risk of injury
There is arisk of acid burns when jump-starting avehicle due to the gases which escape from
the battery. Do not lean over the batter ywhile the engin eisbeing jump-started. G
Risk of explosion
Gases escapin gfrom th ebattery during jump-starting may cause minor explosions. Avoid cre-
ating sparks. Keep naked flames away from the battery, and do not smoke.
Comply with safety precautions when handling batteries. You will find these under "Battery" in
the index.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy startin gattempts. Otherwise, non-combuste dfuel may dam-
age the catalytic converter 41
and create arisk of fire.
Do not use arapid-charging device to start the engine.
Make sure the jump leads are not damaged.
Make sure the jump leads are not touching any other metal objects when they are connected
to the battery.
If your vehicle's battery is discharged ,the engin ecan be jump-started from another vehicle
or from asecond batter yusing jum pleads.
Observ ethe followin gpoints:
X The battery is not accessible in all vehicles. If the other vehicle' sbattery is not accessible,
jump-start the vehicle using asecond batter yorajump-star ting device.
X Only jump-start the vehicl ewhen th eengineisc old an dthe catalytic converter system has
cooled down 42
.
X Do no tstart the engine if the battery is frozen. Let the battery thaw first.
X Jump-starting may only be performed from batterie swithanominal voltage of 12 V.
X Only use jum pleads which have asufficient cross-section and insulated terminal clamps.
X Make sure that the jump leads cannot come into contact with parts, such as the pulley or
the fan. Thes eparts move when the engine is started and while it is running.
X If the battery is fully discharged ,leave the batter ythat is being used to jump-star tconnected
for afew minutes befor eattempting to start. This charges the battery alittle.
i Jump leads and further information about jump-startin gcan be obtained from any
Mercedes-Ben zService Centre.
X Make sure that the two vehicles do not touch.
X Apply the parking brak efirmly.
X Manual transmission: engage neutral.
X Automatic transmission: move the selector lever toP.

R When parking your vehicle, make sure that
the tyres do not ge tdeformed by the kerb
or other obstacles. If it is necessary to drive
over kerbs, speed humps or simila releva-
tions, try to do so slowly and at an obtuse
angle. Otherwise, the tyres, particularly the
sidewalls, can get damaged. Maintenance and care of wheels and
tyres
Checking wheels and tyres
R Regularly chec kthe wheels and tyres of
your vehicle for damage (e.g. cuts, punctu-
res, tears, bulges on tyres and deformation,
crack sorseverecorrosion on wheels), at
least ever y14d ays, as well as after driving
off-road or on rough roads. Damaged
wheels can cause aloss of tyr epressure.
R Regu larly check th etyre tread depth and
the conditio nofthe tread across the whole
widt hofthe tyr e(Ypage 299). If neces-
sary, tur nthe front wheels to full lock in
orde rtoi nspect the inner sid eofthe tyre
surface.
R All wheels must hav eavalve cap to protect
the valve against dirt and moisture. Do not
fit anything onto the valve (such as tyre
pressure monitorin gsystems) othe rthan
the standar dvalve cap or other valve caps
approved by Mercedes-Ben zfor your vehi-
cle.
R Regularly chec kthe pressur eofall the tyres
including the emergenc yspare wheel or the
spare wheel, particularly prior to long trips,
and correc tthe pressur easnecessary
(Y page 299). Ty
re tr ead G
Risk of accident
Bear in mind that:
R tyre grip decreases rapidly on wet roads
when the tread depth is less than 3mm.
Thus ,you should repl acet yres that have
insufficient tread.
R winter tyres sho uld bereplaced when the
trea ddepth is 4mmorl ess as they will no
longer provide adequat egrip.
R thet rea donat yre may not wear evenly.
Thus ,you should regularly chec kthe tread
depth and the condition of the tread across
the entire widt hofall tyres. If necessary,
turn the steerin gwheel so that you can see
the tyr etrea dm ore easily.
You coul dotherwise los econtrol of the vehi-
cle and cause an acciden tdue to the reduced
grip of the tyres on the road. Storing tyres
Store tyres that are not being used in acool,
dry and preferably dar kplace. Protect the
tyres against oil, grease, petrol and diesel. Cleaning tyres
! Do not use ahigh pressure jet with circu-
lar jet nozzles (concentrated-power jets) to
clean the tyres. The high pressure of the
water jet could damage the tyres. Always
replace damaged tyres. Tyr
epressures Recommended ty
repressures
You will find atable of tyre pressures for var-
ious operating conditions on the inside of
your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
The applicable value for the emergency spare
wheel is stated on the spare wheel and in the

The applicable value for the maximum load on
the rea raxle during trailer towing is state don
the tyre pressure information label on the
insid eofy our vehicle' sfuel filler flap.
The load condition "partially laden" or "fully
laden" is defined in the table by the differing
number of passengers and amount of lug-
gage. The actual number of seats may vary
from this –more information can be found on
the vehicle' sregistra tion document.
If no other data is stated, the tyr epressures

tyres approved for this vehicle. If
at yre size precede satyre pressure, the tyre
pressure specification that follows is only
valid for that tyre size. Instead of the complete tyre size, it may be
that only the rim diameter is stated ,e.g.
R16. Rim diameter
:is part of the tyre size and
can be found on the tyre sidewall. G
Risk of accident
Tyre pressure that is either too hig hortoo low
has anegativ eeffect on the vehicle's driving
safety ,which coul dlead you to cause an acci-
dent. Therefore, you should regularly check
the pressur eofall the tyres, particularly prior
to long trips, and correc tthe pressure as nec-
essary.
To test tyr epressure, us easuitable pressure
gauge. The outer appearance of atyre does
not permit any reliabl econclusion about the
tyr ep ressure. G
Ris
kofa ccident
Do not fit anything else to the tyre valve other
than the standard valve cap. In particular, ret-
rofitted tyre pressure monitors which are
screwed on to the valve may overload it and
cause it to fail. Due to their design, the valve
is kept open continuously ,which ma ylead to
air loss. G
Risk of accident
Should the tyr epressure dro prepeatedly:
R check the tyr efor foreign bodies.
R chec kwhether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
R make sur ethat only avalve cap approved
by Mercedes-Benz has been fitte donthe
