Radiator

i

Vehicles with diesel engine:

Do not cover the radiator, for example with

a winter front or bug cover. Otherwise the

readings of the on-board diagnostic system

may be inaccurate. Some of theses

readings are required by law and must be

accurate at all times.

Engine oil

The amount of oil your engine consumes will

depend on a number of factors, including

driving style. Increased oil consumption can

occur when the vehicle is new or the vehicle

is driven frequently at higher engine speeds.

Engine oil consumption checks should only

be made after the vehicle break-in period.

!

Do not use any special lubricant additives,

as these may damage the drive assemblies.

Using special additives not approved by

Mercedes-Benz may cause damage not

covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited

Warranty.

For further information contact an

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Notes on checking engine oil level

When checking the oil level the vehicle must

be parked on level ground and the vehicle
