i Only for certain countries: the respective
current consumption and emission values
of your vehicle can be found in the COC
papers (EC CERTIFICATE OF CONFORM-
ITY). These documents are supplied when
the vehicle is delivered.
The consumption figures for vehicles falling
under the EURO4 standard have been
determined in accordance with EU Direc-
tive 80 /1268 /EEC while figures for vehi-
cles falling under the EURO5 standard have
been determined in accordance with Reg-
ulation (EC) No. 715 / 2007, in each case
based on the currently applicable version.
The values do not refer to a specific vehicle.
Deviations from these values may occur
under normal operating conditions.
! Do not use any special additives, as they
can cause malfunctions and engine dam-
age. Damage resulting from the use of such
additives is not covered by the Mercedes-
Benz implied warranty. 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 efficient use 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. AdBlue
®
i For BlueTEC vehicles only.
AdBlue ®
is a non-flammable, non-toxic, col-
ourless and odourless water-soluble fluid.
! Only use AdBlue ®
compliant with ISO
22241. The use of special additives is not
permitted.
! Surfaces, such as carpets or paintwork,
which come into contact with AdBlue ®
while refilling should be rinsed immediately
with plenty of water. Immediately after
spilling, remove AdBlue ®
using a damp
cloth and cold water. If AdBlue ®
has
already crystallised, use a sponge and hot
water to clean it off. AdBlue ®
residues crys-
tallise after a certain period of time and soil
the affected surfaces.
High outside temperatures If AdBlue
®
is heated to above 50 † for an
extended period of time, e.g. as a result of
direct sunlight on the AdBlue ®
tank,
AdBlue ®
may decompose. Ammonia vapours
develop as a result. G
Risk of injury
Ammonia vapours may escape if the
AdBlue ®
tank cap is opened at high tempera-
tures. Ammonia vapours have a pungent
odour and are particularly irritating to the
skin, to mucous membranes and to the eyes.
You may experience a burning sensation in
your eyes, nose and throat, as well as cough-
ing and watering of the eyes.
Do not inhale ammonia vapours.
Low outside temperatures AdBlue
®
freezes at a temperature of approx-
imately –11 †. The vehicle is equipped with
an AdBlue ®
preheating system at the factory.
Winter operation is therefore also guaranteed
at temperatures below –11 †. Service products and capacities

The values specified may vary due to the

Points to remember
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres which
have been approved specifically for your
vehicle by Mercedes-Benz. These tyres are
specially adapted for use with the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP ®
, and are
marked as follows:
R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Exten-
ded* (tyres with run-flat characteristics)
If you use other tyres, Mercedes-Benz can-
not accept any responsibility for damage
which may occur. Information about tyres
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
! If you fit tyres other than those tested and
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, charac-
teristics such as handling, noise levels and
fuel consumption, etc. may be adversely
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, tyre dimensional variations could
cause the tyres to come into contact with
the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle. 348

24-GHz radar sensor system (country
overview)*
The 24 GHz radar sensor system requires
separate approval for each country. When
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 134). The current country
overview can be obtained from a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre. The radar sensor system is automatically
deactivated near radio telescope facilities. If
Distronic Plus*, Blind Spot Assist* or PRE-
SAFE
®
Brake* are activated at this point, a
corresponding warning will appear in the
multi-function display to tell you that the
radar sensor system is being switched off.
BAS PLUS* is also no longer available. If the
deactivation does not occur automatically,
you must deactivate the radar sensor system
using the on-board computer (Y page 134).Country Radio telescope
