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 165).

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.

Further information on country-specific

fuel properties can be obtained from oil

companies, e.g. at filling stations.

Fuel consumption information

H

Environmental note

CO

2

(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-

tists 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:

R

efficient use of the fuel by the engine

R

driving style

R

other non-technical factors, such as envi-

ronmental influences, road conditions or

traffic flow

You can minimise your vehicle's CO

2

emis-

sions by driving carefully and having it serv-

iced regularly.

The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in

the following situations:

R

at very low outside temperatures

R

in urban traffic

R

on short journeys

R

in mountainous terrain

R

when 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:

R

for vehicles that comply with standards

up to and including the EURO 4 standard,

in accordance with EU Directive

80/1268/EEC

R

for vehicles that comply with or exceed

the EURO 5 standard, in accordance with

Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007

Deviations from these values may occur

under normal operating conditions.

Engine oil

General notes

When handling engine oil, observe the impor-

tant safety notes on service products

(Y page 372).

The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the

function and service life of an engine. After

extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
