? Fuel type
X To open: press the fuel filler flap in the
direction of arrow :.
The fuel filler flap opens slightly.
X Open the fuel filler flap.
X Turn the fuel filler cap anti-clockwise and
remove it.
X Insert the fuel filler cap into the holder
bracket on the inside of filler flap ;.
X Only fill the tank until the pump nozzle
switches off.
! Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the

X Close the fuel filler flap.
i Vehicles with a diesel engine: if the fuel
tank has been run completely dry, it will be
necessary to bleed the fuel system
(Y page 206). Petrol (EN 228)
! Refuel using only unleaded premium
grade petrol with a minimum octane num-
ber of 95 RON/85 MON conforming 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 quality of the avail-
able petrol may not be adequate and could
cause coking around the inlet valve. In such
cases, and in consultation with a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, the petrol
may be mixed with the additive recommen-
ded by Mercedes-Benz (part no.
A000989254510). You must observe the
notes and mixing ratios specified on the
container.
Further information on "Fuel" (Y page 245) . Diesel (EN 590, DIN 51628)
G
Risk of fire
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a die-
sel engine. Never mix diesel with petrol. This
would damage the fuel system and engine and
could result in 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. Refuelling

injection system. Damage resulting from
adding the wrong fuel is not covered by the
warranty.
Further information on refuelling and on fuels
(Y page 144).
Notes on fuel consumption The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in
the following situations:
R at very low temperatures
R in urban traffic
R on short trips
R when towing a trailer
R in mountainous terrain
The consumption figures have been deter-
mined in accordance with EU Directive
RL 80 /1268 /EEC.
i Only for certain countries: the respective
current consumption and emission values
of your vehicle can be found in the COC
papers (EC CERTIFICATE OF CONFORM-
ITY). These documents are supplied when
the vehicle is delivered.
! Do not use any special additives, as they
can cause malfunctions and engine dam-
age. Damage resulting from the use of such
additives is not covered by the Mercedes-
Benz warranty. H
Environmental note
CO 2(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
tists believe to be principally responsible for global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO
2emissions are directly related
to fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
R efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R driving style
R other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle's CO 2emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly. Engine oil
Only Mercedes-Benz approved engine oils
may be used in Mercedes-Benz engines.
A list of the engine oils tested and approved
in accordance with the Mercedes-Benz Spec-
ifications for Service Products can be called
up by visiting http:\\bevo.daimler.co m and
en tering the MB Sheet number. Further infor-
mation on tested and approved engine oils
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. Engine oils which have been
approved by Mercedes-Benz have the MB
Sheet number indicated on the oil container
under the "MB approval" notice. The table
shows which MB Sheet number applies to
which engine: GLK 280 4MATIC
