Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the veh i-
cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traff icconditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle isstationary.
Observe the legal requirements for the country
you are in.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
Rtraff iclights
Rstop and giveway signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rother road and traffic rules and regulations
The multimedia system may provide incorrect
navigation announcements if the surroundings
do not correspond to the data on the digital
map. For example, a route may have been diver-
ted or the direction of a one-way street may have
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
jo urney. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over the system's driving
recommendations.

Important safety notes
GWarning
A flat tire severely impairs the driving, steer-
ing and braking characteristics of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
do not drive with a flat tire. Immediately
replace the flat tire with your spare wheel, or
consult a qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If wheels and tires of the wrong size are used, the wheel brakes or suspension components
may be damaged. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always replace wheels and tires with those
that fulfill the specifications of the original
part.
When replacing wheels, make sure to use the
correct:
Rdesignation
Rmodel
When replacing tires, make sure to use the
correct:
Rdesignation
Rmanufacturer
Rmodel
Accessories that are not approved for your vehi-
cle by Mercedes-Benz or are not being used cor-
rectly can impair operating safety. Before purchasing and using non-approved
accessories, visit a qualified specialist work-
shop and inquire about:
Rsuitability
Rlegal stipulations
Rfactory recommendations
Information on the dimensions and types of
wheels and tires for your vehicle can be found
under "Wheel and tire combinations" .
Information on your vehicle's tire pressure can
be found:
Rin the Tire and Loading Information placard on
the B-pillar, driver's side
Rin the tire pressure table inside the fuel filler
flap (Ypage 281)
Runder "Tire pressure tables" (Ypage 288)
Runder "Tire pressure" (Ypage 280)
Modifications to the brake system or wheels are
not permitted. The use of a spacer and brake
dust shields is not permitted. This invalidates
the general operating permit for the vehicle.
Further information on wheels and tires can be
obtained at any qualified specialist workshop.
Operation
Information for a journey
If the vehicle is heavily laden, check the tire
pressures, and correct them, if necessary
(
Ypage 280).
While driving, pay attention to vibrations, noises
and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pull-
ing to one side. This may indicate that the
wheels or tires are damaged. If you suspect that
a tire is defective, reduce your speed immedi-
ately. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible to
check the wheels and tires for damage. Hidden
tire damage could also be causing the unusual
handling characteristics. If you find no signs of
damage, have the tires and wheels checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
When parking your vehicle, make sure that the
tires do not get deformed by the curb or other
obstacles. If it is necessary to drive over curbs,
speed humps or similar elevations, try to do so
slowly and not at a sharp angle. Otherwise, the
tires, particularly the sidewalls, can get dam-
aged.

Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
!
Only have engine electronics and the corre-
sponding parts, such as control units, actua-
tors, sensors or connector leads, serviced at a
qualified specialist workshop. Otherwise, the
vehicle parts may wear more quickly. This can
lead to loss of the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
Installing electrical or electronic
equipment
You and others can suffer health-related dam-
age through electromagnetic radiation. By using
an exterior antenna, a possible health risk
caused by electromagnetic fields, as discussed
in scientific circles, is taken into account. Only
have the exterior antenna installed by a qualified specialist workshop.
Electrical and electronic devices may have a
detrimental effect on both the comfort and the
operating safety of the vehicle. If equipment of
this kind is installed, its electromagnetic com-
patibility must be checked and verified.
If these devices are linked to functions associ-
ated with resistance to interference, they must
have type approval. This applies to the device or
its interfaces to the vehicle electronics, e.g.
charging brackets.
A telephone or two-way radio to be installed in
the vehicle must be approved. You can obtain
further information from any Mercedes-Benz
Commercial Van Center. For operation of mobile phones and two-way
radios, Mercedes-Benz recommends connec-
tion to an approved exterior antenna. This is the
only way to ensure optimum reception quality
inside the vehicle and to minimize mutual inter-
ference between the vehicle electronics, mobile
phones and two-way radios.
The transmission output of the mobile phone or
two-way radio may not exceed the following
maximum transmission output (PEAK):
Frequency rangeMaximum trans-
mission output

Engine oil viscosity
!If th eSA Eviscosit yclas sof th eengin eoil
used does no tcover th eoutside temperature
range in whic hyou are operating th evehicle,
it mus tbe changed in goo dtime, in particular
before th ecold season commences. Using an
engin eoil that does no thav eadequate tem-
peratur echaracteristics can lead to engin e
damage.
The temperature range information of th eSA E
classification always refers to that of fresh oil.
The temperature characteristics of th eengin e
oil may deteriorat esignificantly due to agin g
in use, especially at low outside tempera-
tures.
We recommen dthat you chang eth eengin e
oil before th ecold season commences. Use
an approve dengin eoil of th especifie dSA E
class.
Engin eoil SA Eclassification
Viscosit yindicates th eflo wcharacteristics of a
fluid .If an engin eoil has ahigh viscosity, this
mean sthat it is thick ; alow viscosit ymean sthat
it is thin.
Dependin gon th erespective outside tempera-
tures, select an engin eoil according to SA E
classification (viscosity). The table displays th e
SA Eclassification to be used .The low temper-
atur echaracteristics of engin eoils can notice -
ably deteriorat eduring operation ,e.g. from
aging, soo tand fuel accretion .Fo rthis reason ,
regular oil changes usin gan approve dengin eoil
from th esuitable SA Eclassification are urgently
recommended.
Oil change
Oil chang eintervals depend on th evehicle's
operating condition sand th equalit yof th e
engin eoil used .The on-board computer auto -
matically shows th edat efor th enext oil chang e
as an event message in th edisplay.
Mercedes-Benz recommends having th eoil
changed at aqualified specialist workshop .
Information about oil consump tion
Dependin gon th edrivin gstyle, th evehicl econ-
sumes amaximum of 1. 0US qt (1. 0l)of engine
oil over a distance of 620 miles (1,000 km).
Oil consumption may be higher if:
RThe vehicle is new.
RYou mainly operate the vehicle under arduous
operating conditions.
RYou frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Regular maintenance is one of the preconditions
for moderate rates of consumption.
You can only estimate the oil consumption after
you have driven a considerable distance.
Check the engine oil level on a regular basis, e.g.
weekly or each time you refuel (
Ypage 252).
