Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use brand-
name fuels with additives.
In some countries, the fuel available may not have
sufficient additives. Deposits could build up in the
fuel injection system as a result. In this case, in
consultation with a qualified specialist workshop
(e.g. a Mercedes-Benz service centre), mix the
fuel with the cleaning additive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Observe the notes and mixing
ratios indicated on the tank.
