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 which are listed in the

Mercedes-Benz Owner's Manual in the rele-

vant section since:

parts and service products are matched.

damage caused by the use of non-approved

service products is not covered by the war-

ranty.

You can recognise service products approved

by Mercedes-Benz by the following inscrip-

tion 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 Sheet number (such

as MB 229.5) 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 environ-

mentally-responsible manner.

Fuel

Risk of explosion

Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames

and smoking are therefore prohibited when

handling fuels.
Before refuelling, turn off the engine and the
auxiliary heating*.
