Refuelling
220
E 350 CGI !
Refuel using only unleaded premium
grade petrol with a minimum octane num-
ber of 95 RON/85 MON conforming to
European standard EN 228.
You could otherwise impair engine output
or damage the engine.
You will find further information about pet-
rol under "Technical data" in the index.
i In some countries, only petrol of insuffi-
cient quality (high-sulphur fuel) may be
available. This fuel can temporarily produce
unpleasant odours, especially on short
journeys. Refuelling with petrol of sufficient
quality (sulphur-free fuel) will reduce such
odours.
AMG vehicles !
Refuel using only super unleaded petrol
with a minimum octane number of 98
RON/88 MON conforming to European
standard EN 228.
You could otherwise impair engine output
or damage the engine.
You will find further information about pet-
rol under "Technical data" in the index. i
If the recommended fuel is not available
and only as a temporary measure, you may
also use premium unleaded petrol,
95 RON/85 MON. This may reduce per-
formance and increase petrol consump-
tion. You must avoid driving at full throttle.
! In emergencies, only when the recom-
mended fuel is not available, you may also
use standard unleaded petrol, 91 RON/
82.5 MON. However, using this fuel results
in considerably higher petrol consumption
and significantly reduced performance.
Avoid driving at full throttle, and only drive
in drive program C.
If no fuel other than regular petrol fuel 91
RON/82.5 MON or a lower grade is per-
manently available, you should have the
vehicle adapted to run on this fuel by the
local after-sales service. Diesel (EN 590)
! Only use diesel that complies with the
EN 590 European standard.
You could otherwise impair engine output
or damage the engine.
You will find further information about die-
sel under "Fuel" in the index.
! When refuelling vehicles with a diesel par-
ticle filter in countries outside the EU, only
low-sulphur Euro diesel with less than
0.005 percent sulphur content by weight
should be used. In countries in which diesel
with a higher sulphur content is available
(e.g. 0.035 percent by weight), the engine
oil should be renewed at more frequent
intervals. 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 EN
590 can increase wear and damage the
engine and the exhaust system. Do not use
the following:
R Marine diesel
R Heating oil
R Bio-diesel Operation

Do not add such fuels to diesel fuel and do
not use any special additives (exception:
flow improvers – see "Low outside temper-
atures").
Damage caused by the use of unapproved
fuels or additives is not covered by the war-
ranty.
E 300 BLUETEC !
When refuelling vehicles with a diesel par-
ticle 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.
Low outside temperatures The flow properties of diesel may be insuffi-
cient at low ambient temperatures.
To prevent operating problems, diesel fuel
with improved cold flow qualities is available
during the winter months. Your vehicle must be refuelled with this winter diesel at temper-
atures of -5 °C or below.
You can use this winter diesel at tempera-
tures down to about -20 °C without problems.
If only summer diesel fuel or less cold-resist-
ant winter diesel fuel (e.g. in Mediterranean
regions) is available, you should add an
amount of flow improver to the fuel corre-
sponding to the outside temperature.
Mix the additive with the diesel in good time,
before the flow properties of the diesel
become insufficient. Otherwise, malfunctions
can only be rectified by heating the entire fuel
system, e.g. by parking the vehicle in a heated
garage.
G
Risk of fire
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a
diesel engine. Never mix diesel with petrol.
This would damage the fuel system and
engine and could result in a vehicle fire.
Flow improver
The effectiveness of a flow improver is not
guaranteed with every fuel. Observe the infor-
mation provided by the manufacturer when
using a flow improver. Only use flow improv-
ers that have been tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Information about flow improvers that have been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz can be obtained
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Operation

Mixing oils reduces the benefits of high-
grade engine oil.
! Do not use lubricant additives, since they
lead to increased wear and damage to the mechanical assemblies. The use of lubri-
cant additives limits warranty claims.
!
Engine oils for vehicles without a diesel
particle filter may also be used temporarily
in vehicles with a diesel particle filter if the
engine oil listed is not available. You must
then have an oil change carried out as soon
as possible.
