Petrol (EN 228)
! Refuel using only unleaded, sulphur-free
premium grade petrol with a minimum
octane number of 95 RON/85 MON con-
forming to European standard EN 228.
Otherwise, you could impair engine output
or damage the engine.
i
As a temporary measure, only when the
recommended fuel is not available, you
may also use regular unleaded petrol,
91 RON/82.5 MON. This may reduce
engine performance and increase fuel con-
sumption. Avoid driving at full throttle.
In some countries, the fuel grade available
may not be adequate and could cause cok-
ing around the inlet valve. 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 no.
A000989254510). You must observe the
notes and mixing ratios specified on the
container.

Risk of fire
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a die-
sel engine. Do not mix diesel with petrol. This
would result in damage to the fuel system and
engine, which could lead to a vehicle fire.
! Refuel using only diesel which conforms
to European standard EN 590 or German
standard DIN 51628. Otherwise, you could
impair engine output or damage the engine.
! When refuelling vehicles with a diesel par-
ticulate filter in countries outside the EU,
only low-sulphur Euro diesel with less than
0.005 percent sulphur content by weight
(50 ppm) should be used.
! In countries in which diesel with a higher
sulphur content is available, the engine oil
should be renewed at more frequent inter-
vals. More information about intervals for
changing the engine oil can be obtained
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
! Using fuel that does not comply with the
European standard EN 590 or the German
