forms to European standard EN 228 or an
equivalent specification.
You can otherwise impair engine output or
damage the engine.

Doing so results in noticeably higher fuel
consumption, and the engine power output is noticeably reduced. Avoid driving at full

ard EN 228 or an equivalent specification.
You coul dotherwise impair engine output
or damage the emission control system.

Additives ! Operating the engine with fuel additives
added later can lea dtoengine failure. Do
not mix fuel additive swithf uel .Thisd oes
not include additive sfor the remova land
prevention of residue build-up. Petrol must
only be mixed with additive srecommended
by Mercedes-Benz. Observe the instruc-
tions for use in the product description.
More information about recommended
additive scan be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Service products and capacities
475Technical data Z

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.
Fuel consumption information 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

Engine oil viscosity Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of afluid. If an engine oil has ahigh viscosity
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
the SAE classification (viscosity) .The table
show syou which SAE classifications are to be
used. The low-temperature properties of
engine oilsc an be significantly impaired dur-
ing operation due to, for example, ageing or
soot and fuel accretion. It is therefore
strongly recommende dtoobserve regular oil
changes using an approved engine oil with the
appropriate SAE classification. Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brake flui dcontinuously absorbs mois-
ture from the air. This results in the boiling
point of the brake flui dlowering. If the boiling
point of the brake flui distoo low,v apour
pockets may form when the brakes are sub-
jected to aheavy load. This would impair brak-
ing efficiency. There is arisk of an accident.
Have the brake flui drenewe datthe prescri-
bed intervals.
Comply with the important safety notes for
service products when handling brake fluid
(Y page4 73).
The brake flui dchange interval scan be found
in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake flui dapproved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB Approva l331.0.

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com- ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool downb efore you top up
the antifreeze. Make sure that antifreeze is
not spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly
clea nthe antifreeze from components before
starting the engine.
