When the DEF supply drops to a minimum, the
Remaining Starts: 16
Remaining Starts: 16 message is shown in
the multifunction display.
If the Remaining Starts: 16
Remaining Starts: 16 message
appears in the multifunction display, you can
start the engine another 16 times. If DEF is not
refilled, you will subsequently be unable to
start the engine.
X Add at least 2 gal (7.5 l)of DEF.
X Switch on the ignition for at least 60 seconds.
X Start the engine.
i The DEF range shown depends strongly on
the driving style and operating conditions.
The actual range can therefore deviate from
the calculated range. The DEF consumption is
between 1% and 5% of the fuel consumption.
i Have the DEF tank refilled at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Use the special DEF refill bottle when adding
DEF between maintenance intervals. You can
obtain further information from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center or, if necessary, contact
Roadside Assistance (Y page 29).
If the outside temperature is below 12 ‡
(00F811 †), it may be difficult to top up. If DEF is
frozen and there is an active warning indicator, it
may not be possible to add DEF. Park the vehicle in a warmer place, e.g. in a garage, until DEF has become fluid again. It will then be possible to
add DEF again. Alternatively, have the DEF tank
refilled at a qualified specialist workshop.
Further information about BlueTEC exhaust gas
aftertreatment and DEF is available at any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Important safety notes DEF is a water-soluble fluid for the exhaust gas
aftertreatment of diesel engines. It is:
R Not poisonous
R Colorless and odorless
R Not flammable
When you open the DEF container, small
amounts of ammonia vapor may be released.
Ammonia vapors have a pungent odor and are
particularly irritating to the skin, to mucous
membranes and to the eyes. You may experi-
ence a burning sensation in your eyes, nose and throat. Coughing and watering of the eyes are
possible. Do not inhale ammonia vapors. Fill the DEF tank
only in well-ventilated areas.
DEF must not come into contact with your skin,
eyes or clothing and must not be swallowed.
Keep DEF away from children.
If you or other persons come into contact with
DEF, observe the following:
R Rinse DEF from your skin immediately with
soap and water.
R If DEF comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with clean
water. Seek medical assistance without
delay.
R If DEF has been swallowed, rinse your mouth
out immediately. Drink plenty of water. Seek
medical assistance without delay.
R Change out of clothing contaminated with
DEF immediately.
! Only use DEF in accordance with
ISO 22241. Do not mix any additives with
DEF, and do not dilute DEF with water. This
may destroy the BlueTEC exhaust gas after-
treatment system.
! The vehicle must be parked on level ground
to fill the DEF tank. The DEF tank can only be filled as intended with the vehicle parked on a
level surface. This avoids false level readings.
Filling the tank is not permitted if the vehicle
is not parked on a level surface. There is a
danger of overfilling, which could result in
damage to components of the BlueTEC
exhaust gas aftertreatment.
! Immediately rinse off surfaces which come
into contact with DEF or remove DEF with a
damp cloth and cold water. If DEF has already crystallized, clean using a sponge and cold
water. DEF residue crystallizes after a short
period and contaminates the affected surfa-
ces. Furthermore, electrical components in
the vicinity may be damaged by DEF.
! DEF is not a fuel additive and must not be
added to the fuel tank. If DEF is added to the
fuel tank, this can lead to engine damage.
For further information on DEF, see
(Y page 386). 154

WARNING
Service products may be poisonous and haz-
ardous to health. There is a risk of injury.
Comply with instructions on the use, storage
and disposal of service products on the labels of the respective original containers. Always
store service products sealed in their original containers. Always keep service products out
of the reach of children. H
Environmental note
Dispose of service products in an environ-
mentally responsible manner.
Service products include the following: R Fuels
R Exhaust gas aftertreatment additives, e.g.
DEF
R Lubricants (e.g. engine oil, transmission oil)
R Coolant
R Brake fluid
R Windshield washer fluid
R Climate control system refrigerant Service products and filling capacities

age to the fuel system, engine and exhaust
system.
! Do not use the following:
R Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol
R E100 (100% ethanol)
R Gasoline with methanol
R M100 (100% methanol)
R Gasoline with metalliferous additives
R Diesel
Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom-
mended for your vehicle.
! To ensure the longevity and full perform-
ance of the engine, only premium-grade
unleaded gasoline must be used.
If standard unleaded gasoline is unavailable
and you have to refuel with unleaded gasoline of a lower grade, observe the following pre-
cautions:
R Only fill the fuel tank to half full with regular
unleaded gasoline and fill the rest with pre- mium-grade unleaded gasoline as soon as
possible.
R Do not drive at the maximum speed.
R Avoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds over 3,000 rpm.
i For more information, please contact a
qualified specialist workshop or visit
http://www.mbusa.com (USA only).
As a temporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
87 AKI/91 RON. This may reduce engine per-
formance and increase fuel consumption. Avoid driving at full throttle and sudden acceleration.
Never refuel using gasoline with a lower AKI.
Information on refueling (Y page 151).
Additives ! Operating the engine with fuel additives
added later can lead to engine failure. Do not mix fuel additives with fuel. This does not
include additives for the removal and preven-
tion of residue buildup. gasoline must only be
mixed with additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Comply with the instructions for use on the product label. More information
about recommended additives can be
obtained from any authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use bran-
ded fuels that have additives.
The fuel quality available in some countries maynot be sufficient. Residue could build up in the
fuel injection system as a result. In such cases, and in consultation with an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center, the fuel may be mixed
with the cleaning additive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. You must observe the notes
and mixing ratios specified on the container.
Diesel Fuel grade
G
WARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with gasoline, the flash
point is lower than that of pure diesel fuel.
When the engine is running, exhaust system
components could overheat without being
noticed. There is a risk of fire.
Never refuel with gasoline. Never mix gasoline with diesel fuel.
! Only use Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD),
otherwise it may lead to increased wear and
damage to the fuel system, engine and
exhaust system.
! Do not use the following:
R gasoline
R diesel with a bio-diesel content greater
than 5% (e.g. B20)
R bio-diesel
R vegetable oil
R paraffin
R kerosene
R marine diesel
R heating oil
Do not mix such fuels with diesel fuel and do
not use any special additives. Otherwise,
engine damage may occur.
! In countries outside USA and Canada, only
use sulfur-free diesel with a sulfur content
under 50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission con-
trol system could be damaged.
Low outside temperatures
i Diesel fuel with improved cold flow proper-
ties is available during the winter months.
