CLK 200 CGI, CLK 55 AMG:
Super un leaded sulphur-free petrol with
am inimum octane rating of 98 RON /
88 MON.
i As a very temporary meas ure, you may
also use premium unleaded petrol, 95 RON /
85 MON. This may reduce power and increase
petrol consumption. Av oid the use of full throttle.
! The following mayle ad to increased wear or
engine damage:
! The use ofpetrol which does not com ply with

have not been approved may result inlimitation
of warrant yrights. Leaded petrol
You may fill up
with leaded petrol incoun-
tries where unleaded petrol is not availa-
ble. This shortens the interval for replacing
spark pl ugs to 20,000 km.
6 Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre before using leaded petrol.
! Leaded petrol damages the catalytic con-
verter and the Lambda probe.
If you exceed theinte rval for replacing the spark

damage.

You will generally find inf ormation about the
diesel grade on the filling pump. If not, askth e
filling station attenda nt.
We recommend having the engine oil
change devery 7,500 km in countries
where only diesel fuel with a sulphur con-
tent exceeding 0.5 percent by weight is
available.

we ar or engine damage:
