Refuelling
217
adding the wrong fuel is not covered by the
warranty.
! Do not start the engine if you accidentally
refuel with the wrong fuel. Otherwise, the
fuel could enter the fuel lines. This would
require draining of the fuel tank and fuel
lines. Notify a qualified specialist workshop
and have the fuel tank and fuel lines
drained completely.
When you open or close the vehicle with the
key or KEYLESS GO*, the fuel filler flap is
automatically unlocked or locked.
The fuel filler flap is to the rear on the right. 1

i Vehicles with a diesel engine:
If the tank has been run completely dry, it
will be necessary to bleed the fuel system
(Y page 296). 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.
You could otherwise impair engine output
or damage the engine.
You will find further information about pet-
rol under "Fuel" in the index.
i As a temporary measure, but only when
the recommended fuel is not available, you
may also use regular unleaded petrol,
91 RON/82.5 MON. This may reduce per-
formance and increase petrol consump-
tion. Avoid driving at full throttle.
In some countries, the available petrol qual-
ity may not be sufficient 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 given on the con-
tainer. Operation
