used tires if you have no information about
their previous usage.
The recommended tire pressures can be
found:
R on the Tire and Loading Information plac-
ard 10
on the B-pillar on the driver's side
R on the tire pressure table on the B-pillar on
the driver's side
The recommended tire pressure can also be
found in the "Tire pressure table" section in
this Operator's Manual (Y page 294). The
wheel/tire combination for your vehicle can
be found on the tire pressure table. Further
information on wheel/tire combination can
be obtained at any qualified specialist work-
shop.
Check tire pressures regularly and only when
the tires are cold. Observe the notes on the
recommended tire pressure (Y page 288).
Follow the maintenance recommendations in the tire manufacturer's warranty book in your
vehicle documents.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always
equip the vehicle:
R with tires of the same size across an axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tires on all wheels at
a given time (summer tires, winter tires)
Tires that have been specially designed and
approved for your vehicle are marked with
MO or MO1 (Mercedes-Benz Original). You
can find this identification on the tires them-
selves and in the following table.
i Not all wheel/tire combinations can be
installed at the factory in all countries. Spare wheel
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Wheel and tire dimensions as well as the type of tire can vary between the spare wheel and the wheel to be replaced. When the spare
wheel is mounted, driving characteristics may be severely affected. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
In order to reduce risks:
R you should therefore adapt your driving
style and drive carefully.
R never mount more than one spare wheel
that differs from the wheel to be replaced.
R only use a spare wheel that differs from the
wheel to be replaced for a short time.
R do not deactivate ESP ®
.
R have a spare wheel that differs from the
wheel that has been changed replaced at
the nearest qualified specialist workshop.
You must observe the correct wheel and
tire dimensions as well as the wheel type.
When using a spare wheel of a different size,
do not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h. General notes
! Check the spare wheel regularly to see
that it is secure and has the prescribed tire
pressure.
The procedure for mounting the spare wheel
is described in "Mounting a wheel"
(Y page 306).
The following should be checked regularly,
particularly prior to long journeys:
R the tire pressure of the spare wheel, which
should then be corrected if necessary
(Y page 288).
R the fastenings of the spare wheel bracket.
The spare wheel is located in a spare wheel
bracket under the rear of the vehicle.
Replace the tires after 6 years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
spare wheel.

For vehicles with a 6-cylinder, in-line
engine (OM 642), the DEF consumption of
the vehicle is:
R as a Cargo Van/Passenger Van, approx.
2322 MPG (0.10 l/100 km)
R as a Cab Chassis approx. 1720 MPG
(0.14 l/100 km)
In each case, the stated consumption figure is a mean value between urban and extra-urban
driving cycles. The consumption figure does
not refer to a specific vehicle, but is provided for the purposes of comparison between dif-
ferent vehicle types.
DEF consumption, like fuel consumption, is
very dependent on the driving style and the
operating conditions. This means that the real
consumption figures during operation of your
vehicle may deviate from those stated. Engine oil
General notes !
The bottles of the various engine oil types
are marked with ACEA (Association des
Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles)
and/or API (American Petroleum Institute) classifications. Only use approved engine
oils that conform to the following MB Spec-
ifications for Service Products and the pre- scribed ACEA and/or API classifications.
Using engine oils of another quality is not
permitted and may invalidate the New Vehi-
cle Limited Warranty.
The use of other, non-approved engine oils
for diesel engines can cause damage to the
diesel particle filter (DPF).
Use only engine oils that have been approved for your vehicle according to the MB Specifi-
cations for Service Products. The MB Specifications for Service Products
are valid for your vehicle 13
R 228.51
R 229.31
R 229.51
These are high quality engine oils which have
a positive effect on:
R engine wear
R fuel consumption
R exhaust gas emissions
Multi-grade engine oils of the prescribed SAE class (viscosity) may be used all year round,
taking the outside temperatures into
account.
Engine oil viscosity !
If the SAE viscosity class of the engine oil
used does not cover the outside tempera-
ture range in which you are operating the
vehicle, it must be changed in good time, in
particular before the cold season commen- ces. Using an engine oil that does not have adequate 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 signifi-
cantly due to aging in use, especially at low outside temperatures.
We recommend that you change the engine
oil before the cold season commences. Use
an approved engine oil of the specified SAE
class.
13 If the quality grade is not available for diesel, you may also add engine oils meeting the requirements in MB
Sheet No. 228.5, 229.3 or 229.5. The quantity to be added is then limited to a maximum of 1 qt (1 l). 322
