national fuel standards). Fuels such as alter-
native fuels (bio-diesel), marine diesel, heat-
ing oil etc. are not permitted.
If required, use only approved fuel additives.
There is otherwise a risk of impaired engine
performance or engine and catalytic con-
verter damage. The use of fuel additives is
always the responsibility of the vehicle oper-
ator.
! If you are using drums or canisters to refuel
the vehicle, you should filter the fuel before
adding it.
This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel sys-
tem due to contaminated fuel.
! Only refuel with low-sulphur Euro diesel with
a sulphur content of less than 50 ppm. Oth-
erwise, the emission control system could be
damaged.
A corresponding sticker is affixed to the B-pillar.

fuel grade on the filling pump. If there is no
identification on the filling pump, consult a
filling station attendant.

tion options for operation with alternative
fuels (bio-diesel fuels) from any Mercedes-

WARNING
If you heat fuel system components, e.g. with
a hot-air gun or naked flame, these compo-
nents could be damaged. This can cause fuel
to escape and ignite. Depending on the type
of damage, fuel may also not escape until the
engine is running. There is a risk of fire and
explosion.
Never heat fuel system components. Contact
a qualified specialist workshop to rectify the
malfunction.
At very low outside temperatures, paraffin may
separate from the diesel fuel resulting in inade-
quate flow characteristics.
To prevent operating problems, diesel with bet-
ter flow qualities is offered during the winter
months.
Winter diesel fuels in the Federal Republic of
Germany and other Central European countries
are reliable up to an outside temperature of
Ò22 †. Winter diesel, which can be used without
difficulties at the temperatures normally
encountered, is available in most countries.
Information on fuel consumption
H
Environmental note
CO (carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
2
tists believe to be principally responsible for
global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO emissions are directly related to
2
fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R
driving style
R
other non-technical factors, such as envi-
R
ronmental influences, road conditions or
traffic flow
You can minimise your vehicle's CO
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
i Only for certain countries: the respective
current consumption and emission values of
your vehicle can be found in the COC papers
(EC CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These
