Fuel grade
! Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a gasoline engine. Even small amounts of the wrong fuel result in damage to the fuel system and engine.
! You should only refuel with unleaded premium-grade gasoline as this avoids damaging the catalytic converter.
If engine running problems are apparent, have the cause checked immediately and repaired. Excess unburned fuel can otherwise enter the catalytic converter, leading to overheating and possibly causing a fire.
! To ensure the longevity and full performance of the engine, only premiumgrade unleaded gasoline may be used.
If there is no premium-grade unleaded gasoline available and regular unleaded gasoline must be used, please observe the following precautions:
R only fill the fuel tank to half full with regular unleaded gasoline and fill the rest with premium-grade unleaded gasoline as soon as possible.
R do not drive at the maximum speed.
R avoid sudden acceleration.
R if the vehicle is carrying a light load, e.g.
two passengers without luggage, do not allow the engine to rev above 3000 rpm.
R if the vehicle is fully loaded or is being operated in mountainous terrain, do not depress the accelerator pedal further than Ô of the pedal travel.
Only refuel using premium-grade unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 91.
Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) and/or unleaded gasoline with additives can be used.
The concentration of additives in the fuel, however, must not exceed 10%, e.g.:
R
Ethanol
R
TAME
R
ETBE
R
IPA
R
TBA
For MTBE, the concentration should not exceed 15%.
The concentration of methanol in gasoline, including other additives, must not exceed
3%.
Using mixtures of methanol and ethanol is not permitted. Gasohol, a mixture of 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline, may be used.
Z

All of these mix fuels must fulfill the fuel requirements, e.g.:
R knock resistance
R boiling point
R vapor pressure
You will usually find information about the fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label on the pump, ask the staff for assistance.
i For further information, consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or on the Internet at http://www.mbusa.com
(USA only).
Information on refueling ( Y page 155).
Additives
! Do not refuel with low-grade fuel and do not use fuel additives that are not tested and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Damage to or malfunctions of the fuel system may otherwise occur.
One of the main problems of poor fuel quality is the forming of deposits that are created during the gasoline combustion process.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use branded fuels that have additives.
If you use fuels without these additives over a longer period of time, carbon deposits may build up. These deposits form at the inlet valves and in the combustion chamber in particular.
This could lead to engine problems, e.g.:
R longer engine warm-up phase
R uneven idle
R engine noise
R misfiring
R loss of power
Carbon deposits may form if the availability of gasoline with relevant additives is insufficient (in certain regions). In this case,
Mercedes-Benz recommends additives approved for use in Mercedes-Benz vehicles; see http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
For a list of approved products, consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Comply with the instructions for use on the product label.
Do not mix other fuel additives with fuel. This causes unnecessary costs and could damage the engine.
Engine oil
General notes
! Never use engine oil or an oil filter of a specification other than is necessary to fulfill the prescribed service intervals. Do not change the engine oil or oil filter in order to achieve longer replacement intervals than those prescribed. You could otherwise cause engine damage or damage to the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Follow the instructions in the service interval display regarding the oil change.
Otherwise, you may damage the engine and the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
The engine oils are matched to the performance of Mercedes-Benz engines and service intervals. You should therefore only use engine oils and oil filters that are approved for vehicles with maintenance systems.
For a list of approved engine oils and oil filters, consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. Or visit the website http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.

Engine oil viscosity
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, vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when driving downhill). This would impair braking efficiency.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at regular intervals. The brake fluid change intervals can be found in the Maintenance
Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB Approval 331.0.
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 renewed regularly at a qualified specialist workshop.
Viscosity describes the flow characteristics of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity, this means that it is thick; a low viscosity means that it is thin.
Select an engine oil with an SAE (viscosity) classification suitable for the prevailing outside temperatures. The table shows you which SAE classifications are to be used. The low-temperature characteristics of engine oils can deteriorate significantly, e.g. as a result of aging, soot and fuel deposits. It is therefore strongly recommended that you
Coolant
Important safety notes
G WARNING
Antifreeze is highly flammable. Fire, open flames and smoking are prohibited when handling 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.

Service products and filling capacities
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
Internet 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 coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following tasks:
R corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down to -35 ‡ (-37 †), the boiling point of the coolant during operation is approximately
266 ‡ (130 †).
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentration in the engine cooling system should:
R be at least 50%. This will protect the engine cooling system against freezing down to approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †).
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection down to -49 ‡ [-45 †]). Otherwise, heat will not be dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, add equal amounts of water and antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentrate in accordance with MB Specifications for
Service Products 310.1.
The coolant is checked with every maintenance interval at a qualified specialist workshop.
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is filled with a coolant mixture that ensures adequate antifreeze and corrosion protection.
