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 minimize 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 city traffic
R
on short journeys
R
in mountainous terrain
R
when towing a trailer
Engine oil
General notes
!
Never use engine oil or an oil filter of a
specification other than is necessary to ful-
fill the prescribed service intervals. Do not
change the engine oil or oil filter in order to
achieve longer replacement intervals than
those prescribed. You could otherwise
cause engine damage or damage to the
exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Follow the instructions in the service inter-
val display regarding the oil change. Other-
wise, you may damage the engine and the
exhaust gas aftertreatment.
When handling engine oil, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(
Y
page 259).
The engine oils are matched to the perform-
ance of Mercedes-Benz engines and service
intervals. For this reason, only use engine oils
and oil filters that are approved for vehicles
with a service system.
For a list of approved engine oils and oil filters,
consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
or go to the Internet site
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com (USA
only).
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for your vehicle.
