Service products and capacities
Notes on service products and capacities
Service products are:
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use those products which have been tested and specially approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle and are listed in the Mercedes-Benz Owner's Manual in the relevant chapter since:
You can recognise service products approved by Mercedes-Benz by the following inscription on the containers:
Other designations or recommendations that relate to a level of quality or a specification in accordance with an MB Approval have not necessarily been approved by Mercedes-Benz.
You can obtain further information from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
 | Risk of injury |
|
When handling, storing and disposing of any service products, please observe the relevant regulations, as you could otherwise endanger yourself and others.
Keep service products away from children.
To protect your health, do not allow service products to come into contact with your eyes or open wounds. See a doctor immediately if any service product is swallowed.
|
 | Environmental note |
|
Dispose of service products in an environmentally-responsible manner.
|
Fuels
| Risk of explosion |
|
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking are therefore prohibited when handling fuels.
Switch off the engine and the auxiliary heating* before refuelling.
|
| Risk of injury |
|
Do not allow fuel to come into contact with skin or clothing.
Allowing fuels to come into direct contact with your skin or inhaling fuel vapours is damaging to your health.

Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a petrol engine. Never mix petrol with diesel. Even small amounts of diesel result in damage to the injection system. Damage resulting from adding diesel is not covered by the warranty.
|
More information
about refuelling and fuels can be found in the "Operation"
section.
Introduction to fuel consumption
The consumption
figures have been determined in accordance with EU Directive
80 / 1268 / EEC test conditions.
 | |
|
Only for certain
countries: the current consumption and emissions values of your vehicle can be
found in the COC papers (EC-CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These documents are
supplied when the vehicle is delivered.
|
| |
|
Do not use any special additives, as they can cause malfunctions and engine damage. Damage resulting from the use of such additives is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz warranty.
|
| Environmental note |
|
CO 2
(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scientists believe to be principally
responsible for global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your vehicle's CO
2 emissions are directly related to fuel consumption and therefore
depend on:
-
efficient use of
the fuel by the engine
-
driving style
-
other non-technical
factors, such as environmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise
your vehicle's CO 2 emissions by driving carefully and having it
serviced regularly.

Fuel consumption
The consumption information was determined in accordance with current EU Directives and do not refer to an individual vehicle. These values may deviate during practical operation.

Engine oil
A list of engine
oils tested and approved in accordance with the Mercedes-Benz Specifications
for Service Products is available from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. In the
case of engine oils which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz, the MB Sheet
number is indicated on the oil canister. The table shows which MB Sheet number
applies to which engine:

In the event that
the:
is not available,
you can use another mineral or synthetic engine oil which has been approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
Mixing oils reduces the benefits of high-grade engine
oil.
|
| |
|
Do not use lubricant additives, since they can lead to increased wear and damage to the mechanical assemblies. The use of lubricant additives will result in a restriction of your warranty.

Coolant
The coolant is a
mixture of water and antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following
tasks:
| |
|
When the vehicle is
first delivered, it is topped up with a coolant that will ensure adequate
antifreeze and corrosion protection.
|
| |
|
Only top up with coolant that has been premixed with the desired antifreeze protection. You could otherwise damage the engine.
There is more information about coolant and topping it up on Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products Sheet 310.1.
|
| |
|
Always use a suitable coolant mixture, even in countries where high temperatures prevail.
Otherwise, the cooling system will not be sufficiently protected from corrosion, and the boiling point will be too low.
|
If
antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in the correct concentration, the
boiling point of the coolant will be around 130 °C.
The
antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentration in the cooling system should:
-
be at least 50%.
This will protect the cooling system against freezing down to around -37
°C.
-
not exceed 55%
concentration (antifreeze protection down to -45 °C), otherwise heat will
not be effectively dissipated.
If the vehicle has
lost coolant, top it up with equal amounts of water and antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recommends using an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
which has been approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
| |
|
The cooling system contains a filling which must be renewed after 15 years, or after 250, 000 km at the latest. Have the renewal confirmed in the Service Booklet.
The warranty is only valid if you top up with an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor which has been approved by Mercedes-Benz, and observe the recommended mixing ratios.

Brake fluid
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling point.
| Risk of accident |
|
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 would impair braking efficiency.
Have the brake fluid renewed every two years with a brake fluid that has been approved by Mercedes-Benz and have this confirmed in the Service Booklet.
|
| |
|
There is usually a notice in the engine compartment to remind you when the next brake fluid change is due.
|
Windscreen washer system
The washer fluid reservoir holds approximately
6.5 litres.
The headlamp cleaning system
and the windscreen washer system are both supplied from the washer fluid
reservoir.
 |
At temperatures
above freezing point:
top up the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water and windscreen washer concentrate
more.
|
| |
At temperatures
below freezing point:
top up the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water, antifreeze and windscreen washer concentrate
more. Adapt the mixing ratio to the outside
temperatures.
|
| Risk of fire |
|
Windscreen washer concentrate is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking are prohibited when windscreen washer concentrate is being handled.
