WARNING
When driving off-road, your body is subject
to forces from all directions, due to the
uneven surface. You could be thrown from
your seat, for instance. There is a risk of
injury.
Always wear a seat belt, even when driving
off-road. G
WARNING
If you drive over obstacles or in ruts, the
steering wheel may jerk out of your grip,
causing injury to your hands.
Always hold the steering wheel firmly with
both hands. When driving over obstacles,
you must expect steering forces to increase
briefly and suddenly. G
WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with hot parts of the exhaust system. There
is a risk of fire.
When driving on an unpaved road or off-
road, check the vehicle underside regularly.
In particular, remove trapped plant parts or
other flammable material. Contact a quali-
fied specialist workshop immediately if dam-
age is detected.
! When driving off-road or on unpaved surfa-
ces, check the underside of the vehicle as
well as the wheels and tires at regular inter-
vals. In particular, remove trapped foreign
objects, such as stones and branches.
Such foreign objects could:
R damage the chassis, the fuel tank or the
brake system
R cause imbalance and thereby vibrations
R be thrown out as you continue your jour-
ney
If there is any damage, inform a qualified
specialist workshop.
When driving off-road and on construction
sites, sand, mud and water mixed with oil, for
example, may get into the brakes. This may
lead to a reduction in braking performance or
total brake failure, also as a result of increased wear. The braking characteristics will vary
depending on the material that has got into
the system. Clean the brakes after driving off-
road. If you then notice reduced braking per-
formance or hear scraping noises, have the
brake system checked at a qualified specialist
workshop. Adjust your driving style to the
changed braking characteristics.
Driving off-road or on construction sites
increases the possibility of vehicle damage
which may in turn lead to the failure of certain
assemblies and systems. Adapt your driving
style to the off-road driving conditions. Drive
carefully. Have any vehicle damage rectified at
a qualified specialist workshop as soon as pos-
sible.
When loading your vehicle for driving off-road
or on a construction site, keep the vehicle's
center of gravity as low as possible.
Rules for driving off-road !
Always bear the vehicle's ground clear-
ance in mind and avoid obstacles, e.g. deep
ruts.
Obstacles may damage the following parts
of the vehicle:
R the chassis
R the drive train
R the fuel and supply tanks
For this reason, you should always drive
slowly when driving off-road. If you have to
drive over obstacles, have the front
passenger direct you.
i We recommend that you additionally carry
a shovel and a recovery rope with shackle in
the vehicle.
R Ensure that loads and items of luggage are
securely stowed or lashed down
(Y page
242).
R Before driving off-road, stop the vehicle and
shift to a low gear.
R If the surface requires, temporarily deacti-
vate ESP ®
when pulling away (Y page 69).
R Only drive off-road with the engine running
and a gear engaged.
R Drive slowly and smoothly. Walking pace is
necessary in many situations.
R Avoid spinning the drive wheels.
R Make sure that the wheels always remain in
contact with the ground. Driving tips

Tire tread
The part of the tire that comes into contact
with the road.
Tire bead
The tire bead ensures that the tire sits
securely on the wheel. There are several steel
wires in the bead to prevent the tire from com-
ing loose from the wheel rim.
SidewallThe part of the tire between the tread and the
tire bead.
Weight of optional extras The combined weight of those optional extras
that weigh more than the replaced standard
parts and more than 2.3 kg
(5 lbs). These
optional extras, such as high-performance
brakes, a roof rack or a high-performance bat-
tery, are not included in the curb weight and
the weight of the accessories.
TIN (Tire Identification Number) A unique identification number which can be
used by a tire manufacturer to identify tires,
for example for a product recall, and thus iden-
tify the purchasers. The TIN is composed of
the manufacturer identification code, tire size,
tire model code and manufacturing date.
Load bearing index
The load bearing index (also load index) is a
code that contains the maximum load bearing
capacity of a tire.
Traction
Traction is the result of friction between the
tires and the road surface.
TWR (permissible trailer drawbar load)
The TWR is the maximum permissible weight
that may act on the ball coupling of the trailer
tow hitch.
Wear indicator Narrow bars (tread wear bars) that are distrib-
uted over the tire tread. If the tire tread is level
with the bars, the wear limit of á in (1.6 mm)
has been reached. Distribution of the vehicle occupants
The distribution of vehicle occupants over des-
ignated seat positions in a vehicle.
Maximum permissible payload weightNominal load and goods/luggage load plus
68 kg (150 lbs) multiplied by the number of
seats in the vehicle. Changing wheels
Rotating the wheels
! On vehicles equipped with a tire pressure
monitor, electronic components are located
in the wheel.
Tire-mounting tools should not be used near
the valve. This could damage the electronic
components.
Only have tires changed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Always observe the instructions and safety
notes under "Mounting a wheel"
(Y page
298).
The wear patterns on the front and rear tires
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Rotate the wheels before a clear wear pattern
has formed on the tires. Front tires typically
wear more on the shoulders and the rear tires
in the center.
If your vehicle's tire configuration allows, you
can rotate the tires according to the intervals
in the tire manufacturer's warranty book in
your vehicle documents. If no warranty book is
available, the tires should be rotated every
3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to 10,000 km) or
earlier if tire wear requires. Do not change the
direction of rotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel
is rotated. Avoid oily or greasy cleaning
agents.
Check the tire pressure and reactivate the tire
pressure monitor if necessary. Direction of rotation
Tires with a specified direction of rotation have
additional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk of
hydroplaning. You will only gain these benefits
if the correct direction of rotation is observed. Changing wheels

Wheels and tires Z
Page 300 of 320
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates
its correct direction of rotation.
You may mount a spare wheel against the
direction of rotation. Observe the time restric-
tion on use as well as the speed limitation
specified on the spare wheel. Storing wheels
Store wheels that are not being used in a cool,
dry and preferably dark place. Protect the tires
from contact with oil, grease and fuel. Mounting a wheel

General notes When handling engine oil, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on operating fluids
(Y page
305).
The quality of the engine oil used is of decisive
importance for the engine's functionality and
operating life. Mercedes-Benz continually
approves engine oils based on complex experi-
ments according to the current state of the
art.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines. Mercedes-Benz recommends having
the oil changed at a qualified specialist work-
shop. Information about engine oils approved by
Mercedes-Benz can be obtained:
R from any Mercedes-Benz Commercial Van
Center
R on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com
by enter-
ing the designation, e.g. 229.5.
Mercedes-Benz approval is indicated on the oil
container by the inscription „MB-Freigabe“ or
„MB Approval“ and the corresponding designa-
tion, e.g. MB-Freigabe or MB Approval 229.5.
Designations of the approved engine oils for
your vehicle MB-Freigabe or MB
Approval
229.5,
229.62 Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use
approved multigrade engine oils of the SAE
classes
SAE 0W-30 and SAE 0W-40 or
SAE 5W-30 and SAE 5W-40. These engine oils
ensure optimum lubrication even at very low
outside temperatures (Y page 309).
To achieve the lowest possible fuel consump-
tion, it is recommended to use the engine oil
specifications marked in the table for the low-
est SAE viscosity class. Observe possible
restrictions of the released SAE classifications.
When refilling, we recommend that you only
use engine oil of the same grade (MB-Freigabe
or MB Approvaldesignation) and SAE class as
the oil filled at the last oil change.
i If the engine oils listed in the table are not
available, you may add the following engine
oils until the next oil change:
R MB-Freigabe or MB Approval 229.1, or
ACEA A3
This must only be added once and the
amount must not be greater than 1 qt
(1.0 l).
Subsequently have the engine oil changed
at the earliest possible opportunity.
! Using engine oils of another grade quality
is not permitted.
2 Recommended for the lowest possible fuel consumption (lowest viscosity class in each case taking into
account possible restrictions of the approved SAE classifications). 308

!
Do not use any additives in the engine oil.
This could damage the engine.
Engine oil viscosity !
If the SAE class of the engine oil used does
not cover the outside temperature range in
which your vehicle is traveling, you must
change the engine oil in good time, in partic-
ular before the cold season commences.
Using an engine oil that does not have ade-
quate temperature characteristics can lead
to engine damage.
The temperature range information of the
SAE classification always refers to that of
fresh oil. The temperature characteristics of
the engine oil may deteriorate significantly
as a result of aging during vehicle operation,
especially at low outside temperatures.
Therefore, have the engine oil changed
before the cold season commences. Use an
approved engine oil of the specified SAE
class. Engine oil SAE classification
Viscosity indicates the flow characteristics of a
fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity, this
means that it is thick; a low viscosity means
that it is thin. Depending on the respective outside tempera-
tures, select an engine oil according to SAE
classification (viscosity). The viscosity class of
the engine oil can have an influence on the
fuel consumption. The table displays the SAE
classification to be used. The low temperature
characteristics of engine oils can noticeably
deteriorate during operation, e.g. from aging,
soot and fuel accretion. For this reason, regu-
lar oil changes using an approved engine oil
from the suitable SAE classification are
urgently recommended.
Oil change Oil change intervals depend on the vehicle's
operating conditions and the quality of the
engine oil used. The on-board computer auto-
matically shows the date for the next oil
change as an event message in the display.
Mercedes-Benz recommends having the oil
changed at a qualified specialist workshop.
Information about oil consumption Depending on the driving style, the vehicle
consumes a maximum of 1.0 US qt
(1.0 l) of
engine oil over a distance of 620 miles
(1,000 km).
Oil consumption may be higher if:
R The vehicle is new.
R You mainly operate the vehicle under ardu-
ous operating conditions.
R You frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Regular maintenance is one of the precondi-
tions 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

Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the
brake fluid is too low, vapor pockets may
form in the brake system when the brakes
are applied hard. This would impair braking
efficiency. There is a risk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
the specified intervals.
! Brake fluid corrodes paint, plastic and rub-
ber. If paint, plastic or rubber has come into
contact with brake fluid, rinse with water
immediately.
When handling, storing and disposing of brake
fluid, please observe the relevant regulations and the important safety notes for service
products (Y page
305).
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air. This reduces its boiling
point.
Have the brake fluid replaced at specified
intervals by a qualified specialist workshop.
i There is usually a notice in the engine
compartment to remind you when the next
brake fluid change is due.
Use only approved brake fluids that comply
with the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Ser-
vice Products. Always check for the identifica-
tion DOT 4 plus.
Information about approved brake fluids can
be obtained:

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot
components in the engine compartment, it
may ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add
antifreeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not
spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly
clean the antifreeze from components
before starting the engine.
! Take care not to spill any coolant on pain-
ted surfaces. You could otherwise damage
the paintwork.
When handling, storing and disposing of cool-
ant and antifreeze, please observe the relevant
regulations and the important safety notes for
