Only for certain countries: the respective
current consumption and emission values
of your vehicle can be found in the COC
papers (EC CERTIFICATE OF CONFORM-
ITY). These documents are supplied when
the vehicle is delivered.
The consumption figures for vehicles falling
under the EURO4 standard have been
determined in accordance with EU Direc-
tive 80/1268/EEC while figures for vehi-
cles falling under the EURO5 standard have
been determined in accordance with Reg-
ulation (EC) No. 715 / 2007, in each case
based on the currently applicable version.
The values do not refer to a specific vehicle.
Deviations from these values may occur
under normal operating conditions.
!
Do not use any special additives, as they
can cause malfunctions and engine dam-
age. Damage resulting from the use of such
additives is not covered by the Mercedes-
Benz implied warranty.

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.
AdBlue
®
i
For BlueTEC vehicles only.
AdBlue
®
is a non-flammable, non-toxic, col-
ourless and odourless water-soluble fluid.
!
Only use AdBlue
®
compliant with ISO
22241. The use of special additives is not
permitted.
!
Surfaces, such as carpets or paintwork,
which come into contact with AdBlue
®
while refilling should be rinsed immediately
with plenty of water. Immediately after
spilling, remove AdBlue
®
using a damp
cloth and cold water. If AdBlue
®
has
already crystallised, use a sponge and hot
water to clean it off. AdBlue
®
residues crys-
tallise after a certain period of time and soil
the affected surfaces.
High outside temperatures
If AdBlue
®
is heated to above 50 † for an
extended period of time, e.g. as a result of
direct sunlight on the AdBlue
®
tank,
AdBlue
®
may decompose. Ammonia vapours
develop as a result.
G
Risk of injury
Ammonia vapours may escape if the
AdBlue
®
tank cap is opened at high tempera-
tures. Ammonia vapours have a pungent
odour and are particularly irritating to the
skin, to mucous membranes and to the eyes.
You may experience a burning sensation in
your eyes, nose and throat, as well as cough-
ing and watering of the eyes.
Do not inhale ammonia vapours.
Low outside temperatures
AdBlue
®
freezes at a temperature of approx-
imately –11 †. The vehicle is equipped with
an AdBlue
®
preheating system at the factory.
Winter operation is therefore also guaranteed
at temperatures below –11 †.
