Petrol (EN 228, E DIN 51626-1) Fuel grade ! Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a petrol engine. Even a small quantity of die- sel will damage the fuel injection system. ! Only refuel using unleaded petrol with at least 95 RON/85 MON that conforms to European standard EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or an equivalent specification. Fuel with this specification may contain up to 10 % ethanol.
42 Only for certain countries.
! Do not use the following:
RE85 (petrol with 85 % ethanol) RE100 (100 % ethanol) RM15 (petrol with 15 % methanol) RM85 (petrol with 85 % methanol) RM100 (100 % methanol) RPetrol with metallic additives RDiesel Do not mix these fuels with petrol, and do not use any additives. This can otherwise lead to engine damage. This does not include cleaning additives for the removal and prevention of residue build-up. Only cleaning additives recommended by Mercedes-Benz should be added to petrol, see "Additives". You can obtain further information from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Usually you will find information about the
fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the
label on the petrol pump, ask the filling sta-
tion staff.
i E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10
fuel. You can refuel your vehicle using E10
fuel.
i As a temporary measure, if the recom-
mended fuel is not available, you may also use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 91 RON/82.5 MON. This may reduce engine performance and increase fuel con- sumption. Avoid driving at full throttle. The quality of the fuel available in some countries may not be sufficient. Residue could build up as a result. In such cases, and in consultation with a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, the petrol may be mixed with the additive recommended by Mercedes-Benz (part no. A000989254510). You must observe the notes and mixing ratios specified on the container.
Information on refuelling (Y page 336).
AMG vehicles and 12-cylinder engines ! Only refuel using super unleaded petrol with at least 98 RON/88 MON that con- forms to European standard EN 228 or an equivalent specification. You can otherwise impair engine output or damage the engine.
! Premium-grade unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 95 RON/85 MON may be used as a temporary measure if the recom- mended fuel is not available. This may reduce engine performance and increase fuel consumption. As much as possible, avoid driving at full throttle.
! Regular unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 91 RON/82.5 MON may also be used as a temporary measure if the recom- mended fuel is not available. Doing so results in noticeably higher fuel consumption, and the engine power output is noticeably reduced. Avoid driving at full throttle. If only regular unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 91 RON/82.5 MON or lower is available, you must have the vehi- cle adapted to this fuel at a qualified spe- cialist workshop.
i E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol. Your vehicle is E10-compatible. You can refuel your vehicle using E10 fuel.
Additives ! Do not refuel with low grade fuel and do not use fuel additives that have not been tested and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Otherwise the fuel system could malfunction or be damaged.
One of the major problems with low-grade fuel is the creation of carbon deposits during the process of burning fuel. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use fuel brands that have additives. If you use fuels without these additives for a longer period of time, there may be a build-up of carbon deposits. These will form especially
Service products and capacities
535
on the inlet valves and in the combustion chamber. This could lead to engine running problems, e.g.: Rlonger engine warm-up phase Runeven idle Rengine noise Rmisfiring Rloss of power In areas where petrol with the required addi- tives is not available, carbon deposits can build up. In this case, Mercedes-Benz recom- mends the use of additives that have been approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles; see http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre to view a list of approved products. Observe the instructions for use in the product descrip- tion. Do not mix other fuel additives with fuel. This causes unnecessary costs and could damage the engine.
Diesel (EN 590) Fuel grade G WARNING Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a die- sel engine. Do not mix diesel with petrol. This would result in damage to the fuel system and engine, which could lead to a vehicle fire.
! When refuelling, only use diesel fuel that
conforms to the European standard EN 590
or is of equivalent quality. Fuel that does
not conform to EN 590 can lead to
increased wear as well as damage to the
engine and exhaust system.
! Do not use the following:
Rmarine diesel Rheating oil Rbio-diesel Rvegetable oil Rpetrol
536 Service products and capacities
Rparaffin Rkerosene Do not mix these fuels with diesel fuels and do not use any special additives. Other- wise, this can lead to damage to the engine. This excludes flow improver; see "Low out- side temperatures".
! Vehicles with a diesel particle filter: in countries outside the EU, only refuel with low-sulphur Euro diesel with a sulphur con- tent under 50 ppm; otherwise the emission control system could be damaged.
! Vehicles without a diesel particle fil- ter: in countries where only diesel fuel with a high sulphur content is available, you will need to carry out your vehicle's oil change at shorter intervals. More information about the interval for oil change can be obtained from any qualified specialist workshop.
Usually you will find information about the fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label on the petrol pump, ask the filling sta- tion staff. Information on refuelling (Y page 336). Low outside temperatures In winter months, diesel fuel with an improved cold flow quality is available. In Europe, the EN 590 standard defines various climate- dependent temperature categories. Malfunc- tions can be avoided by refuelling with diesel fuel that corresponds to the climatic specifi- cations outlined in EN 590. At unusually low outside temperatures, it is possible that the flow characteristics of the diesel fuel could be insufficient. Accordingly, diesel fuel from warmer areas may not be suitable for opera- tion in colder climatic conditions. i Further information on country-specific fuel properties can be obtained from oil companies, e.g. at filling stations.
Flow improvers To improve the low-temperature resistance of diesel fuel, a flow improver can be attached. The effectiveness of a flow improver is not guaranteed for every fuel. Only use flow improvers tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz. During use, please observe the information on operation. Correct dosage and sufficient mixing are deci- sive in improving low-temperature resistance with the flow improver. Overdosage can potentially even decrease low-temperature resistance and must therefore be avoided. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines on dos- age. Mix the additive into the diesel in good time, before the flow characteristics of the diesel become insufficient. Otherwise, malfunctions can arise through heating the fuel system, e.g. through parking in a heated garage. More information about recommended flow improvers can be obtained from any qualified specialist workshop.
Notes on fuel consumption H Environmental note CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien- tists believe to be principally responsible for global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your vehicle's CO2 emissions are directly related to fuel consumption and therefore depend on: Refficient use of the fuel by the engine Rdriving style Rother non-technical factors, such as envi- ronmental influences or road conditions You can minimise your vehicle's CO2 emis- sions by driving carefully and having it serv- iced regularly.
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in the following situations: Rat very low outside temperatures Rin urban traffic Ron short journeys
Rin mountainous terrain Rwhen towing a trailer i Only for certain countries: you can find
the current consumption and emission val- ues of your vehicle in the COC documents (EU CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These documents are delivered with your vehicle. The consumption figures were in each case based on the currently applicable version: Rfor vehicles up to and including the EURO 4 standard, in accordance with EU Direc- tive 80/1268/ECC
Rfor vehicles above the EURO 5 standard,
in accordance with Regulation (EC) No.

Engine oil
Points to remember
The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
engine oils that correspond to the current
technical standard.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines.
Further information on tested and approved
engine oils can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you have the oil
change carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz approval is indica-
ted on the oil container by the inscription "MB
Approval" and the corresponding designa-
tion, e.g. MB Approval 229.51.
You can call up an overview of approved

Engine oil viscosity
Viscosity describes the flow characteristics of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity rating, it flows slowly; the lower the viscosity, the faster it flows. Engine oil selection is based on the respective outside temperatures and in accordance with 47 BlueEFFICIENCY 48 Only for certain countries. 49 Including external oil cooler.

the SAE classification (viscosity). The table shows you which SAE classifications are to be used. The low-temperature properties of engine oils can be significantly impaired dur- ing operation due to, for example, ageing or soot and fuel accretion. It is therefore strongly recommended to observe regular oil changes using an approved engine oil with the appropriate SAE classification.
Brake fluid G WARNING Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air; This lowers its boiling point. If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low, vapour pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when driving downhill). This impairs braking effi- ciency. You should have the brake fluid renewed at regular intervals. The brake fluid change inter- vals can be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes- Benz. Information about approved brake fluid can be obtained at any qualified specialist workshop or on the Internet at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. i Have the brake fluid regularly checked at
a qualified specialist workshop. There is usually a notice in the engine com- partment to remind you when the next brake fluid change is due.

Coolant Important safety notes G WARNING Antifreeze is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking are prohibited when han- dling antifreeze. If antifreeze comes into contact with hot engine parts, it may ignite and you could burn yourself. Do not spill any antifreeze on hot engine parts.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed with the desired antifreeze protection. You could otherwise damage the engine. Further information on coolants can be found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products, MB Specifications for Service Products 310.1, e.g. on the Inter- net at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. Or contact a qualified specialist workshop.
! Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures prevail. Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not sufficiently protected from corrosion and overheating.
! The engine cooling system is filled with
coolant, which must be renewed after 15 years or after 250,000 kilometres at the latest.
The coolant is a mixture of water and anti- freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following tasks: Ranti-corrosion protection Rantifreeze protection Rraising the boiling point If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in the correct concentration, the boiling point of the coolant during operation will be around 130 †.
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra- tion in the engine cooling system should: Rbe at least 50 %. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to around -37 †.
Rnot exceed 55 % (antifreeze protection
down to -45 †). Heat will otherwise not be dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with equal amounts of water and antifreeze/cor- rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recom- mends an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor con- centrate in accordance with MB Specifica- tions for Service Products 310.1. The coolant is checked at every maintenance interval at a qualified specialist workshop. i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is fil-
led with a coolant mixture that ensures adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec- tion.
Washer fluid G WARNING Windscreen washer fluid/antifreeze is highly flammable. Avoid spilling windscreen washer fluid/antifreeze on hot engine components as it can ignite and burn. Severe burns could be the result.
! Only use washer fluid that is suitable for plastic lamp lenses, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB WinterFit. Unsuitable washer fluid could damage the plastic lenses of the headlamps.
! Do not use distilled or de-ionised water in the washer fluid reservoir. Otherwise, the level sensor may be damaged.
! Only the washer fluids SummerFit and WinterFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the spraying nozzles could become blocked.
At temperatures above freezing: X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water and washer fluid, e.g. MB Sum- merFit.
X Mix 1 part MB SummerFit to 100 parts
water.
At temperatures below freezing: X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture of water and washer fluid, e.g. MB Winter- Fit. Adapt the mixing ratio to the outside temperature.
X Down to Ò10 †: mix 1 part MB WinterFit
with 2 parts water.
X Down to Ò20 †: mix 1 part MB WinterFit
with 1 part water.
X Down to Ò29 †: mix 2 parts MB WinterFit
with 1 part water.
i Add washer fluid concentrate, e.g. MB
SummerFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid all year round.
