Maintaining the time-dependent service sched-
ule:
X Call up and noted own the service due date
before disconnectin gthe battery.
or X After reconnecting the battery, subtract the
battery disconnection periods from the ser-
vice date shown on the display.
The symbol and the letter indicate which type of service is due:
¯ Minor service A

± Major service B B
The ASSYST service interval display does not
take into account any periods of time during
which the battery is connected.

The ¯ or± service symbol and the ser-
vice due date are displayed. Special service requirements The prescribed service interval is based on nor-
mal operation of the vehicle. Servic ework will
need to be performed more often if the vehicle is operated under arduous conditions or increased
loads, for example:
R regular city driving with frequent intermediate
stops
R if the vehicle is primarily used to travel short
distances
R for frequent operation in mountainous terrain
or on poor road surfaces
R if the engine is often left idling for long periods
In these or similar operating conditions, have,
for example, the air filter, engine oil and oil filter changed more frequently. The tyres must be
checked more frequently if the vehicle is oper-
ated under increased loads. Further information can be obtained at aqualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz Servic eCentre. Fuel/water separator

Cleaning the seat belts G
WARNING
Seat belts may be severely weakened if
bleached or coloured. This may lea dtothe
seat belts, for example, tearing or failing in an accident. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
Never bleach or colou rseat belts.
! Do not clea
nthe seat belts using chemical
cleaning agents. Do not dry the seat belts at
temperatures above 80 †orindirect sun-
light.
X Use clean, lukewarm water and soap solution.
Cleaning the wood luggage-compart-
ment floor !
For cleanin
gand treating the wooden lug-
gage compartment floor, do not use any of the
following:
R microfibre cloth
R householdc leaning agents
R commercially available furniture polishes,
sprays or similari tems
R steam cleaners
Otherwise, the surface of the wooden luggage
compartment floor will be damaged.
! Do not apply self-adhesive films or masking
strips to the wooden luggage compartment
floor; the solvent residue and plasticisers con-
tained in them may destroy the paintwork.
Use alint-free cotton cloth to remove dust, dirt
and fingerprints. If necessary, dampen the lint-
free cotton cloth with asmall amount of clear
water.
Use wood oil recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz to treat and protect the wooden
luggage compartment floor. This revitalises the
wooden surface and increases the resilience of
the wood. To apply the wood oil:
X Using the sanding pad that comes with the
care set, sand the wooden surface in the
direction of the grain.
X Clean off the wood dust.
X Using acotton cloth, distribute athin layer of
wood oil evenly over the wooden surface
using asimple wiping motion .Always wipe
along the grain.
X Then, using asecond cotton cloth, apply the
remaining wood oil.
An ew protective coat forms within approx-
imately four hours.
As econd treatment with the wood oil is recom-
mended for extremely worn wooden luggage
compartment floor surfaces.
Cleaning the roof lining and carpets X
Roof lining: if it is verydirty, us easoft brush

WARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of pure diesel fuel.W hen the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heatu nnoticed. There is arisk of fire.
Never refue lwith 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
conform to EN 590 can leadtoi ncreased wear
as wellasd amage 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. Otherwise,
engine damage may occur.
! Vehiclesw
ith diesel particle filters: in
countries outside the EU, only use low sulphur
Euro diesel with asulphurc ontent of under
50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission control sys- tem could be damaged.
You will usually find information aboutt he fuel
quality on the pump. If you cannot find the label
on the petrol pump, ask the filling station staff.
Information on refuelling (Y page 109).
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 specifica-
tions outlined in EN 590. At unusually low out-
side temperatures, it is possible that the flow
characteristics of the diesel fuel could be insuf- ficient. Accordingly, diesel fuel from warmer
areas may not be suitablef or operation in colder
climatic conditions.
i Further information on country-specific fuel
properties and fuel types with low-tempera-
ture resistance can be obtained from oil com- panies, e.g. at filling stations. AdBlue
