ment: only fill up with commercially available sul‐
phur-free diesel fuel that complies with the Euro‐
pean standard EN 590 of 2010 or a comparable
national fuel standard.
As a result, the engines achieve the specified per‐
formance and the legally prescribed exhaust
emission values of the Euro-3- standard.
The following fuel types are not permitted:
OM 460: sulphur-containing fuel above 0.2%

For vehicles without BlueTec
treatment, the sulphur content of the fuel is set
to the value customary in the country of delivery.
If you fill up with diesel fuel with a different sul‐
phur content, set the new value for the sulphur
content in the on-board computer . If you do not
know the sulphur content of the diesel fuel used,
set the lower value for the sulphur content in the
on-board computer.
Some countries have diesel fuels with different
sulphur contents. Diesel fuels with a lower sul‐
phur content are sold in some countries under
the designation "Euro diesel".
Information on current country-specific sulphur
contents is available at a Mercedes-Benz service
centre or can be found in the Mercedes-Benz
Specification for Service Products according to
sheet number 136.1 or 136.2.
Diesel fuels at low temperatures
®
exhaust gas after‐
At very low outside temperatures, paraffin may
separate from the diesel fuel resulting in inade‐
quate flow characteristics.
To prevent malfunctions, diesel fuel with
improved flow characteristics is available in the
winter months.
Winter diesel fuels are reliable down to outside
temperatures of -22°C in Germany and other
Central European countries. You can normally
use winter diesel fuel without problems at the
outside temperatures expected in the country
where it is on sale.
The vehicle can be equipped with a fuel preheat‐
ing system. The fuel preheating system heats the
fuel and thus improves its flow characteristics.
Fuel additives

& WARNING Risk of fire and explosion due
to fuel igniting
If you heat fuel system components, e.g. with
a heat gun or naked flame, these components
could be damaged.
Fuel may leak out and ignite. Depending on
the type of damage, fuel might not escape
until the engine is running.
Never heat fuel system components.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop
#
to have the malfunction rectified.
* NOTE Malfunctions and engine failure
The use of fuel additives can cause malfunc‐
tions and engine failure.
Do not use fuel additives.
#
Do not add flow improvers to the fuel.
#
* NOTE Damage to the injection system
Petrol or paraffin impairs the lubricity of the
diesel fuel. This can result in damage to the
injection system, for example.
Do not add any petrol or paraffin to die‐
#
sel fuel to improve its flow characteris‐
tics.
