Fuel
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. If you handle fuel
incorrectly, there is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
You must avoid fire, open flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Switch off the engine
and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before refueling. G
WARNING
Fuel is poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is a risk of injury.
You must make sure that fuel does not come into contact with your skin, eyes or clothing
and that it is not swallowed. Do not inhale fuel
vapors. Keep fuel away from children.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
R Wash away fuel from skin immediately
using soap and water.
R If fuel comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical assistance with-
out delay.
R If fuel is swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance without delay. Do not induce vomit-
ing.
R Immediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with fuel.
Tank capacity The total capacity of the fuel tank may vary
depending on the equipment in the vehicle.

Fuel grade
!
Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasoline engine. Do not switch on the igni- tion if you accidentally refuel with the
wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter
the fuel system. Even small amounts of the
wrong fuel could result in damage to the
fuel system and the engine. Notify a quali-
fied specialist workshop and have the fuel
tank and fuel lines drained completely.
! Only refuel using unleaded premium
grade gasoline with at least 91 AKI/
95 RON.
! Only use the fuel recommended. Operat-
ing the vehicle with other fuels can lead to
engine failure.
! Do not use the following:
R E85 (gasoline with 85% ethanol)
R E100 (100% ethanol)
R M15 (gasoline with 15% methanol)
R M30 (gasoline with 30% methanol)
R M85 (gasoline with 85% methanol)
R M100 (100% methanol)
R Gasoline with metalliferous additives
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. Gasoline may only be mixed
with cleaning additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benz; see "Additives". You can
obtain further information from any author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center. 412
Service products and filling capacitiesTechnical data

!
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.
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.
i For further information, consult a quali-
fied specialist workshop or visit
http://www.mbusa.com (USA only).
i E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is E10-compatible. You can
refuel your vehicle using E10 fuel.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended fuel is not available, you may also use regularunleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
87 AKI/91 RON. This may reduce engine per-
formance and increase fuel consumption.
Avoid driving at full throttle and sudden accel- eration. Never refuel using fuel with a lower
AKI.
Information on refueling (Y page 174).
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.
Diesel Fuel grade
G
WARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with gasoline, the flash
point is lower than that of pure diesel fuel.
When the engine is running, exhaust system
components could overheat without being
noticed. There is a risk of fire.
Never refuel with gasoline. Never mix gasoline with diesel fuel.
! Only use commercially available vehicular
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL (ULSD,
15 ppm maximum sulfur content) that
meets the ASTM D975 standard. If you do
not refuel with ULSD, you may damage the
BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment sys-
tem of the vehicle.
! Do not use gasoline to refuel vehicles with
a diesel engine. Do not mix diesel fuel with
gasoline, kerosene or paraffin. This may
otherwise result in damage to the fuel sys- tem and engine.
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.

Low outside temperatures
i Diesel fuel with improved cold flow prop-
erties is available during the winter months.
Further information about fuel properties
can be obtained from oil companies, e.g. at gas stations.
Bio-diesel – FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)
Mercedes-Benz USA approves the use of bio- diesel B5 for all BlueTEC diesel engines. The
concentration of bio-diesel in the ULSD may
not exceed 5% by volume.
Pure bio-diesel and diesel fuel with a higher
percentage of bio-diesel, such as B20, can
damage the engine and the fuel system. For
this reason, they are not approved.
For more information, consult the gas station staff. The bio-diesel B5 label on the gasoline
pump must clearly state that the standard for
ULSD has been fulfilled. If the label is not
clear, do not refuel the vehicle.
Do not refuel your vehicle with fuels unless
they have been approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Information on refueling (Y page 174).
Flexible Fuel vehicles Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. If you handle fuel
incorrectly, there is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
You must avoid fire, open flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Switch off the engine
and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before refueling. G

There is a risk of injury.
You must make sure that fuel does not come into contact with your skin, eyes or clothing
and that it is not swallowed. Do not inhale fuel
vapors. Keep fuel away from children. If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
R Wash away fuel from skin immediately

clean water. Seek medical assistance with- out delay.
R If fuel is swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance without delay. Do not induce vomit-
ing.
R Immediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with fuel.
Flexible Fuel vehicles can be refueled with the
following fuel types:
R premium-grade unleaded gasoline
R E85 fuel
R a mixture of E85 fuel and premium-grade
unleaded gasoline
i Flexible Fuel vehicles can be recognized
by the Ethanol up to E85 sticker on the
inside of the fuel filler flap.
Fuel consumption
The energy content of E85 fuel is less than
that of the same amount of premium-grade
gasoline. The amount of fuel consumed when operating the vehicle with E85 fuel is there-
fore higher than with premium-grade gaso-
line.
Maintenance
Inform your authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter that you are operating or have operated
the vehicle with E85 fuel.
Low outside temperatures
If the outside temperature is below 32 ‡
(0 †), the starting procedure can take notice-
ably longer when operating with E85 fuel.
E85 fuel is not suitable for use at outside
temperatures under -4 ‡ (-20 †). 414
