As a temporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular
unleaded petrol with at least:

This may reduce engine output and increase fuel
consumption.
Never refuel using petrol with an even lower
RON.
Further information on fuel can be obtained at a
filling station or a qualified specialist workshop.

* NOTE Damage from use of unsuitable
additives
Even small amounts of the wrong additive
may lead to malfunctions occurring.
Only add cleaning additives recommen‐

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use fuel
brands that have additives.
In some countries, the fuel available may not
have sufficient additives. Residue could build up
in the fuel injection system as a result. In this
case, in consultation with a Mercedes-Benz
service centre, the fuel may be mixed with the
cleaning additive recommended by Mercedes-
Benz. Be sure to observe the notes and mixing
ratios specified on the container.
