Refuelling
The first 1,500 km
If you treat the engine with sufficient care
from the very start, it will reward you with
excellent performance for a very long period
afterwards.
You should therefore drive at varying road
R
and engine speeds for the first 1,500 km.
Avoid heavy loads, e.g. driving at full throt-
R
tle, during this time. Do not exceed
the maximum permissible engine speed for
each gear.
Change gear in good time.
R
Do not shift down a gear manually in order
R
to brake.
Vehicles with automatic transmission*:
Try to avoid depressing the accelerator
R
pedal beyond the pressure point (kick-
down).
Only use ranges 3, 2 or 1 for slow driving,
R
e.g. in mountainous terrain.
Additional driving tips for AMG vehicles:
Do not drive faster than 140 km/h for the
R
first 1,500 km.
Only bring the engine up to a maximum
R
speed of 4,500 rpm for a brief period.

Refuelling
Refuelling
G Risk of explosion
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames
and smoking are therefore prohibited when
handling fuels.
Before refuelling, always turn off the
engine.
G Risk of injury
Avoid any contact with fuels.
You can damage your health if your skin
comes into direct contact with fuel or if you
inhale the vapour.
!
Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
petrol engine. Even small amounts of diesel
will damage the injection system. Damage
caused by adding diesel is not covered by
the warranty.
!
Do not start the engine if you accidentally
refuel with the wrong fuel. Otherwise, you
risk engine damage. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop and have the fuel sys-
tem emptied completely.
