Do not mix these fuels with petrol, and do
not use any additives. Otherwise, this can
lead to damage to the engine. This does not
include additives for the removal and pre-
vention of residue build-up. Only additives
recommended by Mercedes-Ben zmay be
added to petrol. More informatio nabout
recommended additives can be obtained
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. !

can. The fuel lines and/or the diesel injec-

particles from the fuel can.
i If the recommended fuel is not available,
but only as a temporary measure, 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 fuel grade available
may not be adequate and could cause
deposits to build up. In such cases, and in
consultation with a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre, the petrol may be mixed with the
additive recommended by Mercedes-Benz
(part number A000989254510). You must
observe the notes and mixing ratios speci-
fied on the container.
