Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
as you close the bonnet.
Lower the bonnet and let it drop from a
height of about 20 cm.
The bonnet engages.
Check that the bonnet has engaged
properly.
i
If the bonnet can be raised slightly, it is not
properly locked. Open the bonnet again and
close it with a little more force.
Engine oil
The vehicle consumes a maximum of
0.8 litre of oil per 1,000 km, depending on
your style of driving. Oil consumption may
be higher when the vehicle is new or if you
frequently drive at high engine speeds.
The engine oil consumption can only be es-
timated once a lengthy distance has been
covered.

You will find further information about en-
gine oil in the "Technical data" section
( page 250).
!
Do not use special lubricant additives. They
can lead to increased wear and damage to the
mechanical assemblies. The use of fuel additives
could result in a limitation of your warranty enti-
tlement. You may obtain further information
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
