Do not mix these fuels with petrol and do
not use any special additives. Otherwise,
this can lead to damage to the engine. This
does not include additives for the removal
and prevention of residue build-up on the
inlet valves.
i
E10 fuels contain up to 10 % ethanol. Your
vehicle is E10 compatible. You can operate
your vehicle using E10 premium-grade pet-
rol.

Premium-grade unleaded petrol
(95 RON/85 MON) may be used as a tem-
porary measure if the recommended fuel is
not available. This may reduce engine per-
formance and increase fuel consumption.
Avoid driving at full throttle.
The quality of the fuel available in some
countries may not be sufficient. This can
lead to a build up of deposits in the area
around the inlet valves. In such cases, and
in consultation with a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre, the petrol may be mixed
with the additive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz (part number
A000989254510). You must observe the
notes and mixing ratios specified on the
container.
! In emergencies, and only when the rec-
ommended fuel is not available, you may
also use standard unleaded petrol,
91 RON/82.5 MON.
However, using this fuel results in consid-
erably higher petrol consumption and sig-
nificantly reduced engine performance.
Avoid driving at full throttle.
If no fuel other than regular petrol with
91 RON/82.5 MON or a lower grade is per-
manently available, you should have the
vehicle adapted to run on this fuel by the
local after-sales service centre.
