? Tyre pressure table
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. Petrol (EN 228)
! Refuel using only unleaded, sulphur-free
premium grade petrol with a minimum
octane number of 95 RON/85 MON con-
forming 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 fuel 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 287). 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
causes damage to the fuel system and engine
and could result in the vehicle catching 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.
! In countries in which diesel with a higher
sulphur content is available, the engine oil
should be renewed at more frequent inter-
vals. 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 the
EN 590 European standard or the Refuelling
