petrol engine. Even small amounts of diesel
result in damage to the injection system.
Damage resulting from adding diesel is not
covered by the warranty.

Notes on fuel consumption
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in
the following situations:
R
at very low temperatures
R
in urban traffic
R
on short trips
R
in mountainous terrain
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 for vehicles up to
the EURO 4 standard have been deter-
mined in accordance with EU Directive
80/1268/EEC, while figures for vehicles
complying with the EURO 5 standard or
higher have been determined in accord-
ance with Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007,
in each case based on the currently appli-
cable version. Deviations from these values
may occur under normal operating condi-
tions.
!
Do not use any fuel additives, as they can
cause malfunctions and engine damage.
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 or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle's CO
2
emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
Engine oil
Please bear the following in mind
The quality of engine oils is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
engine oils which correspond to the current
technical standard.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines.
Further information on tested and approved
engine oils can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you have the oil
change carried out at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. Mercedes-Benz approval is
indicated on the oil container by the inscrip-
tion "MB Approval" and the corresponding
designation, e.g. MB Approval 229.51.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for your vehicle.
MB Sheet number 229.5
You can call up an overview of approved
engine oils on the Internet at

ing the designation, e.g. 229.5.
