Notes on technical data

This could jeopardize the operating safety of

the vehicle.

When operating two-way radios in the

vehicle, always connect them to the

low-reflection exterior antenna.

Mercedes-AMG vehicles: be sure to observe

the notes in the Supplement. Otherwise, you

may fail to recognize dangers.

Plug-in hybrid: be sure to observe the notes in

the Supplement. Otherwise, you may fail to rec‐

ognize dangers.

The data stated only applies to vehicles with

standard equipment. You can obtain further

information from an authorized Mercedes-Benz

Center.

You should have all work on electrical

and electronic components carried out

at a qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING Risk of accident from incor‐

rect operation of two-way radios

The operating permit may be invalidated if

the instructions for installation and use of

two-way radios are not observed.

If you operate two-way radios incorrectly in

the vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation

could interfere with the on-board electronics,

e.g.:

Only use approved frequency bands.

Observe the maximum permissible out‐

put power in these frequency bands.

On the rear fenders, it is recommended that you

install the antenna on the side of the vehicle

closest to the center of the road.

Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609 (Road

Vehicles – "EMCs for installation of aftermarket

radio frequency transmitting equipment") when

retrofitting two-way radios. Comply with the

legal requirements for detachable parts.

If your vehicle has installations for two-way radio

equipment, use the power supply and antenna

connectors provided in the pre-installation. Be

sure to observe the manufacturer's supplements

when installing.

* Recommended for lowest possible fuel con‐

sumption (lowest SAE viscosity class in each

case; observe possible restrictions of the

approved SAE viscosity classes).

To achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption,

it is recommended to use the engine oil specifi‐

cations marked in the table for the lowest SAE

viscosity class. Possible restrictions of the

approved SAE viscosity classes must be

observed.

The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture

from the air. This lowers the boiling point of

the brake fluid. If the boiling point is too low,

vapor pockets may form in the brake system

when the brakes are applied hard.

This causes the braking effect to be

impaired.

oil change carried out at a qualified specialist

workshop.
