E-Class - Interactive Owner's Manual [In depth | Technical data

Notes on service products and capacities

Service products are:

fuels (e.g. petrol, diesel)
lubricants (e.g. engine oil, transmission oil)
coolant
brake fluid
windscreen washer fluid

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:

parts and service products are matched
damage caused by the use of non-approved service products is not covered by the warranty

You can recognise service products approved by Mercedes-Benz by the following inscription on the containers:

MB-Freigabe (e.g. MB-Freigabe 229.51)
MB Approval (e.g. MB Approval 229.51)

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 petrol to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine. Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a petrol engine. Never mix diesel with petrol. Even small amounts of the wrong fuel result in damage to the injection system. Damage resulting from adding the wrong fuel is not covered by the warranty.

More information about refuelling and fuels can be found in the "Operation" section.

Introduction to fuel consumption

The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in the following situations:

at very low temperatures
in urban traffic
on short trips
when towing a trailer
in mountainous terrain

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

CO₂ (carbon dioxide) is the gas which scientists 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:

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 CO₂ emissions by driving carefully and having it serviced regularly.

Fuel consumption

The fuel consumption figures stated have been determined in accordance with the currently valid EU guidelines and the data does not relate to a single vehicle. These values may be different under normal operating conditions.

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 event that the:

engine oil brand
grade (MB Sheet number)
SAE classification (viscosity)

corresponding to the oil used in your engine is not available, you can use a different mineral or synthetic engine oil approved by Mercedes-Benz.

Mixing oils reduces the benefits of high-grade engine oil.


Do not use lubricant additives, since they lead to increased wear and damage to the mechanical assemblies. The use of lubricant additives limits warranty claims.


Engine oils for vehicles without a diesel particle filter may also be used temporarily in vehicles with a diesel particle filter if the engine oil listed is not available. You must then have an oil change carried out as soon as possible.

Capacities

The following values refer to an oil change including the oil filter.

Coolant

The coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following tasks:

anti-corrosion protection
antifreeze protection
raising the boiling point


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.

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.

Capacities

The following values indicate the total cooling system capacities.

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 4.5 litres; on vehicles with the headlamp cleaning system* it holds 7 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.
