Petrol (EN 228, E DIN 51626-1)
Fuel grade
! Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
petrol engine. Do not switch on the ignition
if you accidentally refuel with the wrong
fuel. Otherwise, fuel can enter the fuel sys-
tem. Even small amounts of the wrong fuel
could result in damage to the fuel system
and the engine. Notify a qualified specialist
workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel
lines drained completely.
! Only refuel using premium-grade unlea-
ded petrol with at least 95 ROZ/85 MOZ,
that conforms to European standard
EN 228 or E DIN 51626–1 or an equivalent
specification.
Fuel of this specification can contain up to
10 % ethanol.
Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 or
E DIN 51626–1 can lead to increased wear
and damage the engine and exhaust sys-
tem.
! Only use the fuel recommended. Operat-
ing the vehicle with other fuels can lead to
engine failure.
! 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. Do not use addi-
tives. This can otherwise lead to engine
damage. This does not include cleaning
additives for the removal and prevention of
residue build-up. Petrol must only be mixed
with additives recommended by Mercedes-
Benz; see "Additives". You can obtain fur-
ther information from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
Usually you will find information about the
fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the
label on the petrol pump, ask the filling sta-
tion staff.

E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10
fuel. You can refuel your vehicle using E10
fuel.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use unlea-
ded petrol with an octane rating of 91 RON/
82 MON. This may reduce engine perform-
ance and increase fuel consumption. Avoid
driving at full throttle and sudden accelera-
tion. Never refuel using fuel with a lower
RON/MON.
i
In some countries, the available petrol
may not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This
fuel can temporarily produce unpleasant
odours, especially on short journeys. As
soon as sulphur-free fuel (sulphur content
< 10 ppm) is used for refuelling, the odours
are reduced.
Information on refuelling (
AMG vehicles
! Only refuel using super unleaded petrol
with at least 98 RON/88 MON that con-
forms to European standard EN 228 or an
equivalent specification.
You can otherwise impair engine output or
damage the engine.
! Premium-grade unleaded petrol with an
octane rating of 95 RON/85 MON may be
used as a temporary measure if the recom-
mended fuel is not available. This may
reduce engine performance and increase
fuel consumption. As much as possible,
avoid driving at full throttle.
! Regular unleaded petrol with an octane
rating of 91 RON/82.5 MON may also be
used as a temporary measure if the recom-
mended fuel is not available.
