Jump-starting
For the jump-starting procedure, use only the jump-starting connection point, consisting of a positive terminal and an earth point, in the engine compartment. G
WARNING
Battery acid is caustic. There is arisk of injury.
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes or clothing. Do not breathe in any battery gases. Do not lean over the battery. Keep the batteries out of the reach of children. Immediately rinse off battery acid
thoroughly with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention at once. G
WARNING
During charging and jump-starting, explosive gases can escape from the battery. There is arisk
of an explosion.
Particularly avoid fire, naked flames, creating sparks and smoking. Ensure there is sufficient
ventilation while charging and jump-starting. Do not lean over abattery. G
WARNING
During the charging process, abattery produces hydrogen gas. If ashort circuit occurs or sparks
are created, the hydrogen gas can ignite. There is arisk of an explosion.
R Make sure that the positive terminal of aconnected battery does not come into contact with
vehicle parts.
R Never place metal objects or tools on abattery.
R It is important that you observe the described order of the battery terminals when connecting
and disconnecting abattery.
R When jump-starting, make sure that the battery poles with identical polarity are connected.
R It is particularly important to observe the described order when connecting and disconnecting
the jump leads.
R Never connect or disconnectt he battery terminals while the engine is running.G
WARNING
Ad ischarged battery can freeze at temperatures below freezing point. When jump-starting the
vehicle or charging the battery, gases can escape from the battery. There is arisk of an explosion.
Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before charging it or jump-starting.
! Vehicles with
apetrol engine: avoid repeated and lengthy startinga ttempts. Otherwise,
the non-combusted fuel may damage the catalytic converter.
HYBRID vehicles: make sure that you read the "HYBRID" Supplement included in the vehicle
literature. You could otherwise fail to recognise dangers, e.g. due to high voltage. Jump-starting

WARNING
Tyres with insufficien torexcessiv etyre pres-
sure harbour the following hazards:
R the tyres may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
R the tyres may wear excessively or unevenly
which can severely impair tyre traction.
R the handling as well as steerin gand braking
characteristics may be severely affected.
There is arisk of an accident.
Observe the recommended tyre pressures
and check the tyre pressure of all the tyres
including the spare wheel:
R every day before starting ajourney
R when the load changes
R prior to long journey
R for changed operating conditions, e.g. off-
road driving
If necessary, correc tthe tyre pressure. G
WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessories ontot yre
valves, the tyre valves may be overloaded and malfunction, which can cause tyre pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tyre pres-
sure monitors keep the tyre valve open. This
can also result in tyre pressure loss. There is a risk of accident.
Only screw standard valve caps or valve caps
specifically provided by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle ontot he tyre valve. G
WARNING
If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged. Tyre
pressure that is too low may result in atyre
blow-out. There is arisk of accident.
R Check the tyre for foreign objects.
R Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-
tact aqualified specialist workshop. H
Environmenta
lnote
Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days.
You will find atable of tyre pressures for var-
ious operating conditions on the tyre pres-
sure label on the inside of your vehicle's fuel
filler flap (Y page 202).
Operation with an emergency spare
wheel: information on operation with an
emergenc yspare wheel can be found in the
general notes in the "Emergency spare wheel" section (Y page 465).
Operation with atrailer: the applicable
value for the rear tyres is the maximum tyre
pressure value stated in the table inside the
fuel filler flap.
The table of tyre pressures may also state tyre
pressures for different load conditions. These are defined in the table as different numbers
of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may vary; for more
information, please refer to the vehicle's reg- istration documents.
If tyre sizes are not specified, the tyre pres-
sures stated on the tyre pressure information
label apply for all tyres approved for this vehi- cle. 420

Mercedes-Ben
zrecommends that you use
fuel brands that have additives.
The quality of the fuel available in some coun- tries may not be sufficient. Residuec ould
build up in the injection system as aresult. In
this case, in consultation with aMercedes-
Benz Service Centre, the petrol may be mixed with the cleaning additive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Always observe the notes
and mixing ratios specified on the container.
Diesel Fuel grade
G
WARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of pure diesel fuel. When the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heat unnoticed. There is arisk of fire.
Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to
diesel fuel.
! When refuelling, only use diesel fuel that
conforms to the European standard EN 590
or is of equivalent quality. Fuel that does
not conformtoEN5 90 can lead to
increased wear as well as damage to the
engine and 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 such fuels with diesel fuel and
do not use any special additives. Other-
wise, engine damage may occur.
! Vehicles with diesel particle filters:
in
countries outside the EU, only use low sul-
phur Euro diesel with asulphurc ontent of under 50 ppm
.Otherwise, the emission
control system could be damaged.
! Vehicles without
adiesel particle fil-
ter: in countries where only diesel fuel with
ah igh sulphurc ontent is available, you will
need to carry out your vehicle's oil change
at shorter intervals. More information
about the interval for oil change can be
obtained from any qualified specialist
workshop.
Usuallyy ou will find information about the
fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the
label on the petrol pump, ask the filling sta-
tion staff.
Information on refuelling (Y page 201).
Low outside temperatures
In winter months, diesel fuel with an improved
cold flow quality is available. In Europe, the
EN 590 standard defines various climate-
dependent temperature categories. Malfunc- tions can be avoided by refuelling with diesel
fuel that corresponds to the climatic specifi-
cations outlined in EN 590. At unusually low
outside temperatures, it is possible that the
flow characteristics of the diesel fuel could be insufficient .Accordingly, diesel fuel from
warmer areas may not be suitable for opera-
tion in colder climatic conditions.
i Further information on country-specific
fuel properties and fuel types with low-tem-
perature resistance can be obtained from
oil companies, e.g. at filling stations.

rating, it flow sslowly;t he lower the viscosity,
the faster it flows.
Engine oil selection is based on the respective outside temperatures and in accordance with
