It is hazard
oustoy our health if your skin
comes into direct contact with fuels or you
breathe in fuel vapours. G
Risk of fire
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with adie-
sel engine. Never mix diesel with petrol. This
causes damage to the fuel system and engine
and could result in the vehicle catching fire.
! Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a
diesel engine. Do not use diesel to refuel
vehicles with apetrol engine. Even asmall
quantity of th ewrong fue lwill damage the
fuel system and engine.
! If the wrong fuel has been added by mis-
take, do not switch on the ignition .Ifyou
do, the fuel coul denter the fuel lines .The
fuel tan kand the fuel lines must then be
drained .Inform aqualified specialist work-
sho pand have the fuel tank and the fuel
lines drained comple tely. Petrol (EN 228)
Fuel grade !
Only refuel using unleaded premium-
grade petrol with at least
95 RON/8 5MON, whic hconforms to Euro-
pean standar dEN2 28.
Yo uc an otherwise impair engine output or
damage the engine.
! Do not use the following:
R E85 (petrol with 85 %ethanol)
R E10 0(100 %ethanol)
R M15 (petro lwith 15 %methanol)
R M85 (petrol with 85 %methanol)
R M10 0(100 %methanol)
R diesel
Do not mix these fuel swith petrol and do
not use any special additives. Otherwise,
this can lead to damage to the engine. This
does not include additives for the removal and prevention of residue build-up on the
inlet valves.
i If the recommended fuel is not available,
but only as atemporary measure, you may
also use regula runleaded petrol,
91 RON/82.5 MON. Thi smay reduce
engine performance and increase fuel con-
sumption. Avoid driv ingatf ull throttle.
In some countries, the fuel grad eavail able
may not be adequate and could cause res-
idu etob uild up 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
note sand mixing ratios specified on the
container.
For further information on "Fuel" ,see
(Y page 313). Diesel (EN 590, DIN 51628)
Fuel grade !
Only refuel with diesel that conform sto
Europea nstandard EN 590 or German
standard DIN 5162 8orthe equivalent. You
can otherwise impair engin eoutput or dam-
age the engine.
! Vehicles with diesel particle filters: in
countries outsid ethe EU ,only use low sul-
phu rEuro diesel with asulphu rcontent of
under 50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission
con trol system coul dbedamaged.
! Vehicles without adiesel particle fil-
ter: the engin eoil should be changed more
frequently in countries in which diesel with
ah igher sulphur conten tisavailable .More
information about intervals for changing
the engin eoil can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
! Using fuel that does not confor mtoEuro-
pean standard EN 590 or German standard
DIN 51628 can lead to increased wear, Refuelling

Do not use the following:
R marine diesel
R heating oil
R bio-diesel
R vegetable oil
R petrol
R paraffin
R kerosene
Do not mix these fuels with diese lfuels and
do not use any special additives. Other-
wise, this can lead to damage to the engine.
This excludes flow improver ,see "Low out-
side temperatures".
! When refuellin gusing afuel can, use afil-
ter or use aclean clot hasafilter. Other-
wise, particles from the fuel can may block
the fuel lines and/or the diesel injection
system.
For further information on "Fuel", see
(Y page 313).
Low outsid etemperatures Diesel fuel with improved cold flow qualities
is available during the winter months. In
Europe, various climate-dependent low-tem-
perature classes are defined in EN 590. Refu-
elling with diesel fuel which complies with the
climatic specification sofstandard EN 590
can hel ptoprevent operatin gproblems. At
exceptionall ylow tempera tures, it is possible
that the flow properties of the fuel ma ybe
inadequate. This is also the case for fuel that
has not been adapted to the climatic specifi-
cations ,e.g. diese lfuel for warmer areas.
i Further information about country-spe-
cific fuel properties can be obtained from
oil companies, e.g. at filling stations.
Flow improver Flow improvers can be added to improve the
cold resistance of diesel fuel. The effective- ness of
aflow improver is not guaranteed with
every fuel.
Correc tdosage and thorough mixing ar edeci-
sive factor sinensuring improvement in low-
temperature resistance. Under certain cir-
cumstances, an excessive dosage may
actually decreas elow-temperatur eresist-
anc eand should therefor ebeavoided. Follow
th em anufacturer's dosing instructions.
Mix the additive with the diese ling ood time,
befor ethe flo wproperties of th ediesel
become inadequate. Malfunction scan other-
wise only be rectified by heating the entire
fuel system, e.g. by parking the vehicle in a
heated garage.
Observe the information provided by the man-
ufacturer when using aflow improver. Only
use flow improvers that have been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. You can obtain
further infor mation from any Mercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre. Refuelling
