Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 can lead
to increased wear as well as damage to the
fuel system, engine and exhaust system.
!
Only use the fuel recommended. Operating
the vehicle with other fuels can lead to dam-
age to the fuel system, engine and exhaust
system.
!
Do not use the following:
E85 (petrol with 85% ethanol)
R
E100 (100% ethanol)
R
M15 (petrol with 15% methanol)
R
M30 (petrol with 30% methanol)
R
M85 (petrol with 85% methanol)
R
M100 (100% methanol)
R
petrol with additives containing metal
R
diesel

Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom-
mended for your vehicle.
You will usually find information about the fuel
quality on the pump. If you cannot find the label
on the petrol pump, ask the filling station staff.
C 180, C 250: as a temporary measure, if the
recommended fuel is not available, you may also
use regular unleaded petrol with an octane rat-
ing of 93 RON.
All other models: as a temporary measure, if
the recommended fuel is not available, you may
also use regular unleaded petrol with an octane
rating of 91 RON. This may reduce engine per-
formance and increase fuel consumption. Avoid
driving at full throttle and sudden acceleration.
Never refuel using fuel with a lower RON.
i
In some countries, the petrol available may
not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This fuel can
temporarily produce unpleasant odours,
especially on short journeys. As soon as sul-
phur-free fuel (sulphur content < 10 ppm) is
used for refuelling, the odours are reduced.
Information on refuelling (
Mercedes-AMG vehicles
!
Only refuel using super unleaded petrol with
at least 98 ROZ, that conforms to European
standard EN 228 or an equivalent specifica-
tion.
You can otherwise impair engine output or
damage the engine.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to
10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use
page 154).

with E10 fuel. You may refuel your vehicle
using E10 fuel.
!
As a temporary measure, if the recommen-
ded fuel is not available, you may also use
unleaded petrol with an octane rating of
95 RON. This may reduce engine perform-
ance and increase fuel consumption. As much
as possible, avoid driving at full throttle.
!
As a temporary measure, if the recommen-
ded fuel is not available, you may also use
unleaded petrol in emergencies with an
octane rating of 91 RON.
Doing so results in noticeably higher fuel con-
sumption, and the engine power output is
noticeably reduced. Avoid driving at full throt-
tle.
If no fuel other than petrol with 91 RON or a
lower grade is available, you should have the
vehicle adapted to run on this fuel at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
C 200, C 250
!
Only refuel using sulphur-free unleaded pet-
rol with at least 95 ROZ, that conforms to the
European standard EN 228 or E DIN or an
equivalent specification.
You could otherwise impair engine output or
damage the emission control system.

The petrol available in some countries may
not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This fuel can
temporarily produce unpleasant odours,
especially on short journeys. As soon as sul-
phur-free fuel (sulphur content < 10 ppm) is
used for refuelling, the odours are reduced.
C 300, Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC
!
Only refuel using super unleaded petrol with
at least 98 ROZ, if you want maximum per-
formance from the engine. Alternatively, you
can also use unleaded petrol of at least
95 ROZ.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular
unleaded petrol with an octane rating of
91 ROZ. Doing so results in higher fuel con-
sumption and significantly reduced perform-
ance. Never refuel using fuel with a lower
RON.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to
10% ethanol.
