fuel can 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 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.
! 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. Otherwise, engine damage may
occur. This does not include cleaning addi-
tives for the removal and prevention of res-
idue 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.
! Only use the fuel recommended. Operat-
ing the vehicle with other fuels can lead to
engine failure.
! 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.
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.
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 may refuel your vehicle using E10
fuel.

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
! 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
this case, in consultation with a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre, the petrol may be mixed
