#
Avoid high engine speeds and driving at
full thro ttle until the engine has reached
its operating temp erature. Note
s on short-distance trips
If th eve hicle is predominantly used in short-dis‐
ta nce driving, a fault in the automatic cleaning
function of the diesel particulate filter can occur.
Due tothis, fuel may also accumulate in the
engine oil and cause engine failure.
During automatic cleaning, extreme lyhot exhaust
ga ses escape from theex haust pipe. Maintain a
dis tance of at least 1 m to other objects, e.g.
par kedve hicles, in order toavoid material dam‐
age.
If yo u main lydrive short dis tances, you should
drive on a mo torw ay or go for a country drive for
20 minutes every500 km. This facilitates the
re ge neration of the diesel particulate filter.
Information about driving abroad
Service
An extensive Mercedes-Benz service is also avail‐
able abroad. Ne vertheless, please remember that
services or spare parts may not be available
immediatel y.The releva nt wo rkshop directories
are available from a Mercedes-Benz Service
Cent re.
Fu el
In some countries, only fuels with an inc reased
sulphur con tent are available.
Uns uitable fuel can cause engine damage. Yo u
can find fur ther information under "Fuel"
(/ page 270).
Ad Blue ®
Ad Blue ®
is not available in suf ficient quality in all
countries. Therefore, check theAd Blue ®

Low beam
In countries in whi chtraf fic drives on the oppo‐
site side of thero ad from the count ryin which
th eve hicle is regis tere d, you will ha vetoswitch
th e headlamps tosymmetrical dipped beam. This
will pr event oncoming traf fic from being dazzled.
Symm etrical dipped beam will no longer illumi‐
nate the edge of the car riag ewa y as far or as
high. Ve
hicles with halogen headlamps:
It is not necessa ryto change the headlamps over
to symmetrical dipped beam. The statutory
requ irements of the count ries in which tra ffic
drives on the opposite side of thero ad from the
country in whi ch theve hicle is regis tere d are also
met without changing over.
Ve hicles with LED headlamps:
Yo u can set the low beam for driving on theright
or left via the on-board computer (/ page189).
Information about transport byrail
Tr ansporting your vehicle byrail may be subject
to cer tain restrictions or requ ire special meas‐
ures tobe take n in some countries due tovarying
tunnel heights and loading standards.
Yo u can obtain information about this from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Cent re.
