Immedia tely rinse su rfaces that come in
con tact wi thDEF when filling with water
or remo veDEF wi tha damp clo thand
cold water.
If DEF has already cr ystallized, clean using a
spon geand cold water. If
yo u open the DEF tank, small amounts of
ammonia vapor may be released. Do not inhale
any ammonia vapor that may be released. Fill the
DEF tank only in well-ventilated areas.
DEF consum ption and filling capacity
DEF consum ption
Like fuel consum ption, DEF consum ption is highly
dependent upon driving style and operating con‐
ditions. DEF consum ption is usually within a
ra nge of 0 and 10% of the fuel consum ption. If
necessar y,DEF mu stbe refilled in acco rdance
with the instructions when there fill message is
displa yed in the instrument clus ter.This may also
be necessary between the scheduled mainte‐
nance.

stgas af tertre atment
The exhaust gas af tertre atment sy stem must be
operated in conjunction with DEF if it is tofunc‐
tion cor rectl y.
If yo u operate theve hicle without DEF or with
emissions-rele vant malfunctions, the legal MOT
appr oval is in validated. You will then probably no
longer be permitted tooperate theve hicle on
public roads.
It may be improper or punishable in some coun‐
tries tooperate a vehicle that uses no DEF or one
th at does not comply with the specifications of
th ese operating instructions.
Engine management monitors theex haust gas
af te rtre atment components for compliance with
emissions la wsand regulations. If you attem ptto
operate theve hicle without DEF, with diluted DEF
or with a dif fere nt reducing agent, this will be
de tected bythe engine management sy stem.
Other emissions- releva nt malfunctions, e.g.
me tering malfunctions or sensor er rors, are also
de tected and log ged. The engine management sy
stem subsequently
pr eve nts the engine being restar ted af ter issuing
a wa rning message.
Therefore add DEF tank regular lyduring vehicle
operation or, at the latest, af terre ceiving thefirst
wa rning message via the instrument clus ter. Engine oil

SA E classi fication (viscosity) of the
engine oil If
th eSA E classi fication (viscosity) of the
engine oil added is not suitable for prolonged
low outside temp eratures, it may cause
engine damage.
The temp erature readings of theSA E classi fi‐
cation are al ways based on fresh oil. Engine
oil ages when driving as a result of soot and
fuel residue. The characteristics of engine oil
de teriorate significantly at low outside tem‐
peratures. #
Use an engine oil of the appropriate SAE
classi fication at low outside temp era‐
tures. #
Use oil for all-year-round operation. The
temp erature readings of theSA E classi fica‐
tion are al ways based on fresh oil. The temp era‐
ture characteristics of the engine oil, especially at
low outside temp eratures, can de teriorate signifi‐
cantly due toaging when driving.
Therefore, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
ch ange the engine oil before thest art of the cold
season. Only use an appr oved engine oil in the
prescribed SAE classi fication forth is purpose. The viscosity indicates
theflow characteristics of
a fluid. With rega rd toengine oil, a high viscosity
is synonymous with thick liquid and a low viscos‐
ity with thin liquid. Depending on the outside
te mp eratures, select the engine oil according to
th eSA E classi fication (viscosity). The table sho ws
th eSA E classi fications tobe used. The low tem‐
perature characteristics of engine oils can de teri‐
orate significantly during operation due toaging
and soot and fuel acc retion, forex ample. A regu‐
lar oil change with an appr oved engine oil in the
appropriate SAE classi fication is therefore
stro ngly recommended.

WARNING Risk of inju rydue tothe maxi‐
mum roof load being exceeded
When you place a load on thero of as well as
all outer and inner attachments, theve hicle's
center of gr avity will rise and thefa miliar driv‐
ing characteristics as well as thesteering and
braking characteristics will change. When
driving around bends, theve hicle will tilt
more heavily and may react more sluggishly
to steering mo vements.
If yo uexc eed the maximum roof load, the
driving characteristics, as well as thesteering
and braking, will be greatly impaired. #
Neverexc eed the maximum roof load
and adjust your driving style. &
WARNING Danger of accident due to
une ven loading
If yo u load theve hicle une venly, the handling
ch aracteristics as well as thesteering‑ and
braking characteristics can be heavily
impaired. #
Load theve hicle evenly. #
Secu rethe load against sliding. The driving, braking and
steering characteristics
of theve hicle change with the type of load, the
we ight and the center of gr avity of the load.
* NO
TERisk of accident if the maximum
permitted roof load is exceeded. If
th ewe ight of thero of luggage, including the
ro of rack ,exc eeds the maximum permitted
ro of load, there is a risk of an accident. #
Ensure that thewe ight of thero of lug‐
ga ge and roof rack toget her does not
exc eed the maximum permitted roof
load. #
The roof rack 's supporting feet must be
ar ranged at a uni form distan ce from
ea ch other. #
Mercedes-Benz recommends you ins tall
a st abilizer bar on theve hicle's front
axle. Fu
