WARNING
Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is a danger of injury.
Do no tswallow fuel or let it come into contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not inhale fuel
vapours. Keep fuels out of the reach of chil-
dren.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
R Wash the fuel off any affected areas of skin
with water and soap immediately.
R If you get fuel in your eyes, rinse them thor-
oughly with clean water immediately. Seek
immediate medical attention.
R If fuel is swallowed, seek immediate medi-
cal attention. Do not induce vomiting.
R Change any clothing that has come into
contac twith fuel immediately.

Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
petrol engine. Even asmall quantity of die-
sel will damage the fuel injection system.
! Only refuel using unleaded petrol with at
least 95 RON/85 MON that conforms to European standard EN 228 or E DIN
51626-1 or an equivalent specification.
Fuel with this specification may contain up
to 10 % ethanol.
! Do not use the following:
R E85 (petrol with 85 % ethanol)
R E100 (100 %ethanol)
R M15 (petrol with 15 % methanol)
R M85 (petrol with 85 % methanol)
R M100 (100 % methanol)
R Petrol with metallic additives
R Diesel
Do not mix these fuels with petrol, and do
not use any additives. This can otherwise
lead to engine damage. This does not
include cleaning additives for the removal
and prevention of residue build-up. Only
cleaning additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benzs hould be added to petrol,
see "Additives". You can obtain further
information from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
! Use a filter when adding fuel from a fuel
can. The fuel lines and/or the diesel injec-
tion system could otherwise be blocked by
particles from the fuel can.
Usually you will find information about the
fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the
label on the petrol pump, ask the filling sta-
tion staff.
i E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10
fuel. You can refuel your vehicle using E10
fuel.
i As a temporary measure, if the recom-
mended fuel is not available, you may also
use unleaded petrol with an octane rating
of 91 RON/82.5 MON. This may reduce
engine performance and increase fuel con-
sumption. Avoid driving at full throttle.

!
Only refuel using super unleaded petrol
with at least 98 RON/88 MON that con-
forms to European standard EN 228 or an
equivalen tspecification.
You can otherwise impair engine output or
damage the engine.
! Premium-grade unleaded petrol with an
octane rating of 95 RON/85 MON may be
used as a temporary measure if the recom-
mended fuel is not available. This may
reduce engine performance and increase
fuel consumption .As much as possible,
avoid driving at full throttle.
! Regular unleaded petrol with an octane
rating of 91 RON/82.5 MON may also be
used as a temporary measure if the recom-
mended fuel is not available.
Doing so results in noticeably higher fuel
consumption, and the engine power output
is noticeably reduced. Avoid driving at full
throttle.
If only regularu nleaded petrol with an
octane rating of 91 RON/82.5 MON or
lowe ris available, you must have the vehi-
cle adapted to this fuel at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
i E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10
fuel. You can refuel your vehicle using E10
fuel.
Additives
! Do not refuel with low grade fuel and do
not use fuel additives that have not been
tested and approved for Mercedes-Benz
vehicles. Otherwise the fuel system could
malfunction or be damaged.
One of the major problems with low-grade
fuel is the creation of carbon deposits during
the process of burning fuel. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you use fuel brands that
have additives.
If you use fuels without these additives for a
longer period of time, there may be a build-up of carbon deposits. These will form especially
on the inlet valves and in the combustion
chamber.
This could lead to engine running problems,
e.g.:
R
longer engine warm-up phase
R uneven idle
R engine noise
R misfiring
R loss of power
In areas where petrol with the required addi-
tives is not available, carbon deposits can
build up. In this case, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends the use of additives that have been
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles; see
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
The quality of the fuel available in some coun-
tries may not be sufficient. Residue could
build up as a result. 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 no. A000989254510). You must
observe the notes and mixing ratios specified
on the container.
Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre to
view a list of approved products. Observe the
instructions for use in the product descrip-
tion.
Do not mix other fuel additives with fuel. This
causes unnecessary costs and could damage
the engine.

WARNING
Vehicles with a diesel engine:
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of
pure diesel fuel. When the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heat unnoticed. There is arisk of fire.
Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to
diesel fuel. Service products and capacities
