! Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the
fuel system.
! Take care not to spill any fuel on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
! Use af ilter when adding fuel from af uel can.
The fuel lines and/or the fuel injection system
could otherwise be blocked by particles from
the fuel can.
If you overfill the fuel tank, fuel could spray out
when the fuel pump nozzle is removed.

Refueling
General information The fuel filler flap is unlocked or locked auto-
matically when you unlock or lock the vehicle
with the key or using KEYLESS-GO.
The position of the fuel filler cap is displayed

Jump-starting For the jump-starting procedure, use only the jump-starting connection point in the engine com-
partment ,c onsisting of ap ositive terminal and ag round point.
G WARNING
Battery acid is caustic. There is ar isk of injury.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not inhale any battery gases. Do not lean over the
battery. Keep children away from batteries. Wash away battery acid immediately with plenty of
clean water and seek medical attention.
G WARNING
During charging and jump-starting, explosive gases can escape from the battery. There is ar isk
of an explosion.
Particularly avoid fire, open flames, creating sparks and smoking. Ensure there is sufficient ven-
tilation while charging and jump-starting. Do not lean over ab attery.
G WARNING
During the charging process, ab attery produces hydrogen gas. If as hort circuit occurs or sparks
are created, the hydrogen gas can ignite. There is ar isk of an explosion.R
Make sure that the positive terminal of ac onnected battery does not come into contact with
vehicle parts. R
Never place metal objects or tools on ab attery.R
It is important that you observe the described order of the battery terminals when connecting
and disconnecting ab attery.R
When jump-starting, make sure that the battery poles with identical polarity are connected. R
It is particularly important to observe the described order when connecting and disconnecting
the jumper cables. R
Never connect or disconnec tt he battery terminals while the engine is running.
G WARNING
Ad ischarged battery can freeze at temperatures below freezing point. When jump-starting the
vehicle or charging the battery, gases can escape from the battery. There is ar isk of an explosion.
Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before charging it or jump-starting.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy starting attempts. Otherwise, the catalytic converter could be
damaged by the non-combusted fuel.
If the indicator/warning lamps do not light up at low temperatures, it is very likely that the dis-
charged battery has frozen .Int his case, you may neither charge the battery nor jump-start the
vehicle. The service life of at hawed-out battery may be shorter. The starting characteristic sc an be
impaired, particularly at low temperatures. Have the thawed-out battery checked at aq ualified
specialist workshop. Jump-starting 249

Speed rating The speed rating is part of the tire identification.
It specifies the speed range for which the tire is
approved.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) The gross vehicle weight includes the weight of
the vehicle including fuel, tools, the spare wheel,
accessories installed, occupants, luggage and
the drawbar noseweight, if applicable. The gross
vehicle weight must not exceed the gross vehi-
cle weight rating GVWR as specified on the vehi-
cle identification plate on the B-pillar on the
driver's side.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) The GVWR is the maximum permissible gross
weight of af ully loaded vehicle (the weight of the
vehicle including all accessories, occupants,
fuel, luggage and the drawbar noseweight, if
applicable). The gross vehicle weight rating is
specified on the vehicle identification plate on
the B-pillar on the driver's side.
Maximu ml oaded vehicle weightThe maximum weight is the sum of: R
the curb weight of the vehicle R
the weight of the accessories R
the load limit R
the weight of the factory installed optional
equipment
Kilopascal (kPa) Metric unit for tire pressure. 6.9 kPa corre-
sponds to 1p si. Another unit for tire pressure is
bar. 100 kilopascals (kPa) are the equivalent of
1b ar.
Load index
In addition to the load-bearing index, the load
index may also be imprinted on the sidewal lo f
the tire. This specifies the load-bearing capacity
more precisely.
Curb weight
The weight of av ehicle with standard equipment
including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil and
coolant. It also includes the air-conditioning sys-
tem and optional equipment if these are instal-
led in the vehicle, but does not include passen-
gers or luggage. Maximu ml oad ratingThe maximum load rating is the maximum per-
missible weight in kilograms or lbs for which a
tire is approved.
Maximu mp ermissible tire pressureMaximum permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximu ml oad on one tireMaximum load on one tire. This is calculated by
dividing the maximum axle load of one axle by
two.
PSI (pounds per squar ei nch)As tandard unit of measure for tire pressure.
Aspect ratio Relationship between tire height and tire width
in percent.
Tire pressure This is pressure inside the tire applying an out-
ward force to each square inch of the tire's sur-
face. The tire pressure is specified in pounds per
square inch (psi), in kilopascal (kPa) or in bar.
The tire pressure should only be corrected when
the tires are cold.
Cold tire pressure The tires are cold: R
if the vehicle has been parked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least three hours
and R
if the vehicle has not been driven further than
1m ile (1.6 km)
Tread
The part of the tire that comes into contact with
the road.
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 coming loose from
the wheel rim.
Sidewall
The part of the tire between the tread and the
bead.All about wheel sa nd tires 273

Technical data Z

If standard unleaded gasoline is unavailable
and you have to refuel with unleaded gasoline
of al owe rg rade ,o bserve 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
speed so ver 3,000 rpm.
You wil lu suall yf ind information abou tt he fuel
grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label
on the pump, ask the staff for assistance.
i For further information, consult aq ualified
specialist workshop or visit
http://www.mbusa.com (USA only).
As at emporary 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 fuel with al owe rA KI.
Information on refueling ( Y

Additives in gasoline
! Operating the engine with fuel additives
adde dl ater can lea dtoe ngine failure. Do not
mix fuel additives with fuel. This does not
include additives for the removal and preven-
tion of residu eb uildup. gasoline must only be
mixed with additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Compl yw ith the instructions
for use on the product label. More information
abou tr ecommended 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 may
not be sufficient. Residue could build up in the
fuel injection system as ar esult. 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 specifie dont he container. Engine oil
General notes
! Never use engine oil or an oil filter of as pec-
ificatio no ther than is necessary to fulfill the
prescribe ds ervice intervals. Do not change
the engine oil or oil filter in order to achieve
longer replacement intervals than those pre-
scribed. You could otherwise cause engine
damage or damage to the exhaust gas after-
treatment.
Follow the instructions in the service interval
display regarding the oil change. Otherwise,
you may damage the engine and the exhaust
gas aftertreatment.
When handling engine oil, observe the important
safety notes on service products ( Y
page 284).
The engine oils are matched to the performance
of Mercedes-Benz engines and service intervals.
You shoul dt herefore only use engine oils and oil
filters that are approved for vehicle sw ith main-
tenance systems.
