Brake fluid
Only brake fluid approved by 
Mercedes-Benz is recommended. Your 
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck 
Center will provide you with additional 
information.
Premium unleaded gasoline 
(gasoline engine)
Warning!
G
During vehicle operation, the boiling point of 
the brake fluid is continuously reduced 
through the absorption of moisture from the 
atmosphere. Under extremely strenuous 
operating conditions, this moisture content 
can lead to the formation of bubbles in the 
system, thus reducing the system’s 
efficiency.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be 
replaced regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s 
Maintenance Booklet for replacement 
interval.
Warning!
G
Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous. 
It burns violently and can cause serious 
injury.
Never allow sparks, flame or smoking mate-
rials near gasoline!
Turn off the engine before refueling.
Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid in-
haling fumes and skin or clothing contact, 
extinguish all smoking materials.
Direct skin contact with gasoline and the in-
halation of gasoline vapors are damaging to 
your health.
!
To maintain the engine’s durability and per-
formance, premium unleaded gasoline must be 
used. If premium unleaded is not available and 
low octane fuel is used, follow these precau-
tions:
Have the fuel tank only partially filled with 
unleaded regular and fill up with premium 
unleaded as soon as possible.
Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceler-
ation.
Do not exceed an engine speed of 3000 rpm 
if the vehicle is loaded with a light load such 
as two persons and no luggage.
Do not exceed
2
/
