loss in one or more tires, a warning message
is shown in the multifunction display and the yellow tire pressure monitor warning light
comes on.
R If the Correct Tire Pressure

appears in the multifunction display, the
tire pressure in at least one tire is too low
and must be corrected at the next oppor-
tunity.
R If the Check Tire Pressure Soon Check Tire Pressure Soon mes-

the tire pressure in one or more tires has
dropped significantly and the tires must be checked.

more tires has dropped suddenly and the
tires must be checked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in
the display messages in the "Tires" section
(Y page 237).
i If the wheel positions on the vehicle are
rotated, the tire pressures may be dis-
played for the wrong positions for a short
time. This is rectified after a few minutes of driving, and the tire pressures are displayed
for the correct positions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and
the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses
the currently set tire pressures as the refer-
ence values for monitoring. In most cases, the
tire pressure monitor will automatically
detect the new reference values after you
have changed the tire pressure. However, you can also define reference values manually as
described here. The tire pressure monitor
then monitors the new tire pressure values.
X Set the tire pressure to the value recom-
mended for the corresponding driving sit-
uation on the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver's side

Additional tire pressure values for different loads can also be found on the tire pressure
table on the inside of the fuel filler flap
(Y page 317).

! To ensure the longevity and full perform-
ance of the engine, only premium-grade
unleaded gasoline must be used.
If standard unleaded gasoline is unavaila-
ble and you have to refuel with unleaded
gasoline of a lower grade, observe the fol-
lowing precautions:
R Only fill the fuel tank to half full with reg-
ular unleaded gasoline and fill the rest
with premium-grade unleaded gasoline
as soon as possible.
R Do not drive at the maximum speed.
R Avoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds over 3,000 rpm.
Using mixtures of methanol and ethanol is not permitted. E10 fuel or E15 fuel (unleaded gas-
oline with 10% or 15% ethanol) can be used.
You will usually find information about the fuel
grade on the pump. If you cannot find the
label on the pump, ask the staff for assis-
tance.

CLA 250, CLA 250 4MATIC: as a temporary
measure, if the recommended fuel is not
available, you may also use regular unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 88 AKI/
93 RON.
All other models: as a temporary measure, if
the recommended fuel is not available, you
may also use regular unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of 87 AKI/91 RON. This may reduce engine performance and increase fuelconsumption. Avoid driving at full throttle and
sudden acceleration. Never refuel using fuel
with a lower AKI.
Information on refueling (Y page 155).Additives
! Operating the engine with fuel additives
added later can lead to engine failure. Do
not mix fuel additives with fuel. This does
not include additives for the removal and
prevention of residue buildup. gasoline
must only be mixed with additives recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz. Comply with
the instructions for use on the product
label. More information about recommen-
ded additives can be obtained from any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
branded fuels that have additives.
The quality of the fuel available in some coun- tries may not be sufficient. Residue could
build up in the injection system as a result. In
such cases, and in consultation with an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, the gaso-
line may be mixed with the cleaning additive
recommended by Mercedes-Benz. You must
observe the notes and mixing ratios specified on the container. Engine oil
General notes !
Never use engine oil or an oil filter of a
specification other than is necessary to ful-
fill the prescribed service intervals. Do not
change the engine oil or oil filter in order to achieve longer replacement intervals than
those prescribed. You could otherwise
cause engine damage or damage to the
exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Follow the instructions in the service inter-
val display regarding the oil change. Other-
wise, you may damage the engine and the
exhaust gas aftertreatment.
When handling engine oil, observe the impor- tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 347).
The engine oils are matched to the perform-
ance of Mercedes-Benz engines and service
intervals. You should therefore only use Service products and filling capacities
