X Check the air pressure of the newly fitted
wheel and adjust accordingly.
Observe the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 356).
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning
system or the tyre pressure monitor cannot
function reliably. Only restart the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system/tyre pressure mon-
itor when the defective wheel has been
replaced with a new wheel.
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitor: all
fitted wheels must be equipped with func-
tioning sensors. Wheel and tyre combinations
General notes
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehi-
cle.
These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP ®
and are
marked as follows:
R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres
may only be used on wheels that have been
specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tes-
ted and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Cer-
tain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle
noise emissions or fuel consumption, may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addi-
tion, when driving with a load, tyre dimen-
sion variations could cause the tyres to
come into contact with the bodywork and
axle components. This could result in dam- age to the tyres or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tyres,
wheels or accessories other than those tes- ted and approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres
and approved combinations can be
obtained from any qualified specialist
workshop.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since
previous damage cannot always be detec-
ted on retreaded tyres. As a result,
Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee vehicle
safety if retreaded tyres are fitted. Do not fit
used tyres if you have no information about their previous usage. 366

Fuel grade
! Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
petrol engine. Do not switch on the ignition if you accidentally refuel with the wrong
fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel
system. Even small amounts of the wrong
fuel can result in damage to the fuel system
and the engine. Notify a qualified specialist
workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel
lines drained completely.
! Only refuel using premium-grade unlea-
ded petrol with at least 95 ROZ/85 MOZ,
that conforms to European standard
EN 228 or E DIN 51626–1 or an equivalent specification.
Fuel of this specification can contain up to
10 % ethanol.
Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 or
E DIN 51626–1 can lead to increased wear
and damage the engine and exhaust sys-
tem.
! Only use the fuel recommended. Operat-
ing the vehicle with other fuels can lead to
engine failure.
! Do not use the following:
R E85 (petrol with 85% ethanol)
R E100 (100% ethanol)
R M15 (petrol with 15% methanol)
R M30 (petrol with 30% methanol)
R M85 (petrol with 85% methanol)
R M100 (100% methanol)
R Petrol with additives containing metal
R Diesel
Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom-
mended for your vehicle. Do not use addi-
tives. Otherwise, engine damage may occur. This does not include cleaning addi-
tives for the removal and prevention of res-
idue build-up. Petrol must only be mixed
with additives recommended by Mercedes- Benz; see "Additives". You can obtain fur-
ther information from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
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 may refuel your vehicle using E10 fuel.
B 200, B 250, B 250 4MATIC: as a temporary
measure, if the recommended fuel is not
available, you may also use regular unleaded
petrol with an octane rating of 93 RON/
83 MON.
All other models: as a temporary measure, if
the recommended fuel is not available, you
may also use regular unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 91 RON/82 MON. This may
reduce engine performance and increase fuel consumption. Avoid driving at full throttle andsudden acceleration. Never refuel using fuel
with a lower RON/MON.
i In some countries, the available petrol
may not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This fuel can temporarily produce unpleasant
odours, especially on short journeys. As
soon as sulphur-free fuel (sulphur content
<1 0 ppm) is used for refuelling, the odours
are reduced.
Information on refuelling (Y page 178).
B 250 ! Only refuel using unleaded, sulphur-free
unleaded petrol with at least 95 RON/
85 MON that conforms to European stand-
ard EN 228 or an equivalent specification.
You could otherwise impair engine output
or damage the emission control system. 388

warmer areas may not be suitable for opera-
tion in colder climatic conditions.

fuel properties can be obtained from oil
companies, e.g. at filling stations.
Fuel consumption information H
Environmental note
CO 2(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
tists believe to be principally responsible for
global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO 2emissions are directly related to
fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
R efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R driving style
R other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences, road conditions or
traffic flow
You can minimise your vehicle's CO 2emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in the following situations:
R at very low outside temperatures
R in urban traffic
R on short journeys
R in mountainous terrain
R when towing a trailer
i Only for certain countries: you can find
the current consumption and emission val-
ues of your vehicle in the COC documents
(EU CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These documents are delivered with your vehicle.
The consumption figures were, in each
case, based on the currently applicable ver-sion:
R for vehicles that comply with standards
up to and including the EURO 4 standard, in accordance with EU Directive
80/1268/EEC
R for vehicles that comply with or exceed
the EURO 5 standard, in accordance with
Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007
Deviations from these values may occur
under normal operating conditions. Engine oil
General notes When handling engine oil, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 386).
The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
engine oils that correspond to the current
technical standard.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines.
Further information on tested and approved
engine oils can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you have the oil
change carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz approval is indica- ted on the oil container by the inscription "MBApproval" and the corresponding designa-
tion, e.g. MB Approval 229.51.
You can call up an overview of approved
engine oils on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com by enter-
ing the designation, e.g. 229.5.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for your vehicle.
You can find the correct values for your model
with the help of the VIN on the vehicle iden-
tification plate (Y page 386).390
