Refueling
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. Improper handling of
fuel creates a risk of fire and explosion.
Avoid fire, open flames, smoking and creating
sparks under all circumstances. Switch off the
engine and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating
before refueling.
GWARNING
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:
RWash away fuel from skin immediately
using soap and water.
RIf fuel comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical assistance with-
out delay.
RIf fuel is swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance without delay. Do not induce vomit-
ing.
RImmediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with fuel.
GWARNING
Electrostatic buildup can create sparks and
ignite fuel vapors. There is a risk of fire and
explosion.
Always touch the vehicle body before opening
the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel pump
nozzle. Any existing electrostatic buildup is
thereby discharged.
134Refueling
Driving and parking

Do not get into the vehicle again during the refu-
eling process. Otherwise, electrostatic charge
could build up again.
HEnvironmental note
If fuels are handled improperly, they pose a
danger to persons and the environment. Do
not allow fuels to run into the sewage system,
the surface waters, the ground water or into
the ground.
!Do not switch on the ignition if you acciden-
tally refuel with the wrong fuel. Otherwise, the
fuel will enter the fuel lines. Notify a qualified
specialist workshop and have the fuel tank
and fuel lines drained completely.
!Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the
fuel system.
!Take care not to spill any fuel on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
!Use a filter when adding fuel from a fuel can.
The fuel lines and/or the fuel injection system
could otherwise be blocked by particles from
the fuel can.
You will find further information about fuel and
fuel grades under "Service products and capaci-
ties" (
Ypage 307).
Refueling procedure
:Fuel filler flap
;Fuel filler cap
=Tire pressure table (Ypage 282)
?Fuel filler neck
Fuel filler flap :is on the left side of the vehicle
behind the front door. It is only possible to open fuel filler flap :when the front door is open.
XRemove the key from the ignition lock.
XOpen the front left-hand door first, and then
fuel filler flap :.
XClose all vehicle doors to prevent fuel vapors
from entering the vehicle interior.
XTurn fuel filler cap ;counter-clockwise,
remove it and let it hang from the strap.
XCompletely insert the filler neck of the fuel
pump nozzle into tank ?and refuel.
XOnly fill the tank until the pump nozzle
switches off. Fuel may otherwise leak out.
XReplace tank filler cap ;on tank ?and turn
clockwise.
You will hear a click when the fuel filler cap is
closed fully.
XOpen the front left-hand door first, and then
close filler flap :.
Problems with the fuel and fuel tank
If your vehicle is losing fuel, the fuel lines or the
fuel tank are defective.
XTurn the key immediately to position 0in the
ignition lock and remove it.
XDo not restart the engine under any circum-
stances.
XConsult a qualified specialist workshop.
Parking
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system or exhaust
gas flow. There is a risk of fire.
Park the vehicle so that no flammable mate-
rials come into contact with parts of the vehi-
cle which are hot. Take particular care not to
park on dry grassland or harvested grain
fields.

iE10 fuel contains an admixture of up to 10%
bioethanol. Your vehicle is E10 compatible.
You can refuel your vehicle with E10 fuel.
iUsually you will find information about the
fuel grade on the filling pump. If there is no
identification on the filling pump, consult a
gas station attendant.
If the recommended fuel is not available, you
may as a one-off measure use regular unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI/
91 RON. Be aware that your vehicle is not cer-
tified with regular unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 87 AKI/91 RON and that usage
of this fuel may reduce the engine's output and
increase fuel consumption. Avoid driving at full
throttle and sudden acceleration. Never refuel
using gasoline with a lower AKI/RON rating.
iIn some countries, the available gasoline
may not be sufficiently low in sulfur. This fuel can temporarily produce unpleasant odors,
especially on short journeys. The odors are
reduced as soon as sulfur-free fuel (sulfur
content < 10 ppm) is used again for refueling.
For more information about refueling
(
Ypage 134).
Fuel additives
!Operating the engine with subsequently
added fuel additives can cause engine dam-
age. Do not mix fuel additives with fuel. This
does not include additives for the removal and
prevention of deposits. Gasoline can only be
mixed with additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Follow the instructions in the
product description. You can find further
information on recommended additives in any
Mercedes-Benz Commercial Van Center.
Mercedes-Benz recommends using brand-name
fuels with additives.
If you use fuels without these additives for a long
period of time, deposits can form. This primarily
forms on the inlet valve and in the combustion
chamber.
In some countries, the available fuel grade may
be inadequate. Residue could build up in the fuel
injection system as a result. In this case, in con-
sultation with a Mercedes-Benz Commercial
Van Center, the fuel should be mixed with the
cleaning additive recommended by Mercedes-
Benz. You must observe the notes and mixing
ratios indicated on the container. Do not add other fuel additives to the fuel. This
results in unnecessary costs and can damage
the engine.
Information on fuel consumption
HEnvironmental 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:
Refficient use of the fuel by the engine
Rdriving style
Rother non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences, road conditions or
traffic flow
You can minimize your vehicle's CO
2emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
Only for certain countries: the respective cur-
rent consumption and emission values of your
vehicle can be found in the COC papers (EC
CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These docu-
ments are supplied when the vehicle is deliv-
ered.
Consumption figures were found in the currently
valid respective version:
Rfor vehicles with exhaust gas standard Euro 6
as per directive (EC) no. 715/2007
Rfor vehicles with exhaust gas standard EURO
VI as per directive (EC) no. 595/2009
Fuel consumption depends on:
Rthe vehicle version
Rthe style of driving
Rthe operating conditions
Rthe type or quality of the fuel used
The vehicle will use mor e fu
el than usual in the
following situations:
Rat very low outside temperatures
Rin city traffic
Rduring short journeys
Ron mountainous terrain
Rwhen towing a trailer
Observe the advice in the "Protection of the
environment" section to keep fuel consumption low (
Ypage 29).
