Notes on the vehicle equipment –always
fit the vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres at a given
time (summer tyres, winter tyres,
MOExtended tyres)
i Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
characteristics, e.g. winter tyres. A TIREFIT
kit can be obtained fro maqualified spe-
cialist workshop.

lowing tyre tables:

Important safety notes G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames
and smoking are therefore prohibited when
handling fuels.
Switch off the engine and the auxiliary heating
before refuelling. G
WARNING
Avoid contact with fuels.
It is hazardous to your health if your skin
comes into direct contact with fuels or you
breathe in fuel vapours. Tank capacity For the E 300 model (only for certain coun-
tries) no technical data was available at the

!
Only refuel using premium-grade sulphur-
free unleaded petrol with at least 95 RON/
85 MON that conforms to European stand-
ard EN 228 or an equivalent specification.
You could otherwise impair engine output
or damage the emission control system.
i In some countries, the available petrol
may no tbe sufficiently low in sulphur. This
fuel can temporarily produce unpleasant
odours, especially on short journeys. As
soon as sulphur-free fuel (sulphur content
<10p pm) is used for refuelling, the odours
are reduced.
Additives
! Do not refuel with low grade fuel and do
not use fuel additives that have not been
tested and approved for Mercedes-Benz
vehicles. Otherwise the fuel system could
malfunction or be damaged.
One of the major problems with low-grade
fuel is the creation of carbon deposits during
the process of burning fuel. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you use fuel brands that
have additives.
If you use fuels without these additives for a
longer period of time, there may be a build-up
of carbon deposits. These will form especially
on the inlet valves and in the combustion
chamber.
This could lead to engine running problems,
e.g.:
R longer engine warm-up phase
R uneven idle
R engine noise
R misfiring
R loss of power
In areas where petrol with the required addi-
tives is not available, carbon deposits can
build up. In this case, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends the use of additives that have been approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles; see
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre to
view a list of approved products. Observe the
instructions for use in the product descrip-
tion.
Do not mix other fuel additives with fuel. This
causes unnecessary costs and could damage
the engine.
Diesel (EN 590)
Fuel grade
G
WARNING
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a die-
sel engine. Do not mix diesel with petrol. This
would result in damage to the fuel system and
engine, which could lead to a vehicle fire.
! When refuelling, only use diesel fuel that
conform stothe European standard EN 590
or is of equivalent quality. Fuel that does
not conform to EN 590 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 these fuels with diesel fuels 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".
! Vehicles with adiesel particle filter: in
countries outside the EU, only refuel with
low-sulphur Euro diesel with a sulphur con-
ten tunde r50p pm; otherwise the emission
control system could be damaged. 386

Deviations fro
mthese values may occur
under normal operating conditions. AdBlue
®
Points to remember AdBlue
®
is a non-flammable, non-toxic, col-
ourless, odourless and water-soluble fluid.
High outside temperatures G
WARNING
If you open the AdBlue ®
tank cap, small
amounts of ammonia vapour may be released.
This depends in particular upon the age of the
AdBlue ®
.
Ammonia vapours have a pungent odour and
are particularly irritating to:
R skin
R mucous membranes
R 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 any ammonia vapours that may
be released. Fill the AdBlue ®
tank only in well-
ventilated areas.
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 can thus be guaranteed
even at temperatures below -11 †.
Additives !
Only use AdBlue ®
in accordance with ISO
22241. Do not use additives with AdBlue ®
and do not dilute AdBlue ®
with water. This
may destroy the BlueTEC exhaust gas after-
treatment system. Purity !
Impurities in AdBlue ®
(e.g. due to other
service products, cleaning agents or dust)
lead to:
R increased emission values
R damage to the catalytic converter
R engine damage
R malfunctions in the BlueTEC ®
exhaust
gas aftertreatment system
Assuring the purity of AdBlue ®
is particularly
important with respect to avoiding malfunc-
tions in the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreat-
ment system.
If AdBlue ®
is pumped out of the AdBlue ®
tank,
e.g. during repair work, do not use this fluid
to refill the tank.T he purity of the fluid can no
longer be guaranteed.

Engine oil
Points to remember The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Ben
zapproves
engine oils that correspond to the current
technical 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-
Ben zrecommends that you have the oil
change carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benza pproval is indica-
ted on the oil container by the inscription "MB
Approval" and the corresponding designa-
tion, e.g. MB Approval 229.51. 388
