Doing so results in noticeably higher fuel
consumption, and the engine power output
is noticeably reduced. Avoid driving at full
throttle.
If only regular unleaded petrol with an
octane rating of 91 RON/82.5 MON or
lower is available, you must have the vehi-
cle adapted to this fuel at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10
fuel. You may refuel your vehicle using E10
fuel.

! Only refuel using premium-grade sulphur-
free unleaded petrol with at least 95 RON/
85 MON that conforms to European stand-
ard EN 228 or an equivalent specification.
You could otherwise impair engine output
or damage the emission control system.

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.
Additives in petrol
! Operating the engine with fuel additives
added later can lead to engine failure. Do
not mix fuel additives with fuel. This does
not include additives for the removal and
prevention of residue build-up. Petrol must
only be mixed with additives recommended
by Mercedes-Benz. Observe the instruc-
tions for use in the product description.
More information about recommended
additives can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
fuel brands that have additives.
The quality of the fuel available in some coun-
tries may not be sufficient. Residue could
build up in the injection system as a result. In
Service products and capacities
this case, in consultation with a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre, the petrol may be mixed
with the cleaning additive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Always observe the notes
and mixing ratios specified on the container.
Fuel consumption information
Environmental note
H
CO
(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
2
tists believe to be principally responsible for
global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO
emissions are directly related to
2
fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R
driving style
R
other non-technical factors, such as envi-
R
ronmental influences, road conditions or
traffic flow
You can minimise your vehicle's CO
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in the
following situations:
at very low outside temperatures
R
in urban traffic
R
on short journeys
R
in mountainous terrain

Only for certain countries: you can find
the current consumption and emission val-
ues of your vehicle in the COC documents
(EU CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These
documents are delivered with your vehicle.
The consumption figures were, in each
case, based on the currently applicable ver-
sion:
for vehicles that comply with standards
R
up to and including the EURO 4 standard,
in accordance with EU Directive
80/1268/EEC
for vehicles that comply with or exceed
