AdBlue consumption
Like fuel consumption, AdBlue
highly dependent upon driving style and oper-
ating conditions. For this reason, your vehicle's
actual consumption figures under normal oper-
ating conditions may differ from the consump-
tion figures calculated.
®
Have the AdBlue supply checked at a qualified
specialist workshop before making journeys
outside of Europe. Before a longer stay outside
of Europe, consult a qualified specialist work-
shop.
®
The average AdBlue consumption, depending
on the driving profile, is approximately
3.5 litres/1,000 km. Certain driving conditions
and driving profiles could cause the AdBlue
consumption to be above 6 litres/1,000 km.

The quality of the engine oil used is of decisive
importance for the engine's functionality and
operating life. Mercedes-Benz continually
approves engine oils based on complex experi-
ments according to the latest technological
standards.

positive effect on:
engine wear
R
fuel consumption

Use only engine oils that have been approved for
your vehicle according to the Mercedes-Benz

container by the inscription "MB Approval" and
the associated specification designation, e.g.
