Approx.
3.2 US gal (12.0 l) Gasoline
Fuel grade
!
Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasoline 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 could
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 unleaded premium grade
gasoline with at least 91 AKI/95 RON.
i E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is E10-compatible. You can
refuel your vehicle using E10 fuel.
! Only use the fuel recommended. Operating
the vehicle with other fuels can lead to dam-
age to the fuel system, engine and exhaust
system.
! Never refuel using:
R Diesel
R Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by
volume, e.g. E15, E20, E85, E100
R Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by
volume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100
R Gasoline with metalliferous additives
Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom-
mended for your vehicle.
! To ensure the longevity and full perform-
ance of the engine, only premium-grade
unleaded gasoline may be used.
If premium-grade unleaded gasoline is
unavailable and you have to refuel with regu-
lar unleaded gasoline, observe the following
precautions:
R Only fill the fuel tank to half full with regular
unleaded gasoline and add the rest as soon as possible with premium-grade unleaded
gasoline.
R Do not drive at the maximum design speed.
R Avoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds over 3000 rpm.
Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) and/or unleaded
gasoline with additives can be used. The con-
centration of additives in the fuel, however,
must not exceed 10%, for example: R Ethanol
R TAME
R ETBE
R IPA
R TBA
For MTBE, the concentration should not exceed
15%.
The concentration of methanol in gasoline,
including other additives, must not exceed 3%.
All of these blends must fulfill the fuel require-
ments, for example:
R knock resistance
R boiling point
R vapor pressure

specialist workshop or visit

Information on refueling (Y page 126).
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 preven- tion of residue buildup. gasoline must only be
mixed with additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Comply with the instructions for use on the product label. More information
about recommended additives can be
obtained from any authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use bran-
ded fuels that have additives.
The fuel quality available in some countries may not be sufficient. Residue could build up in the
fuel injection system as a result. In such cases,and in consultation with an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center, the fuel may be mixed
with the cleaning additive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. You must observe the notes
and mixing ratios specified on the container. 290
