Fuel
Notes on fuelgradesforvehicles with agas‐oline engineObservethe notes on operatingfluids(→page 468).
*NOTEDamagecausedbythe wrong fuel
Even small amounts ofthe wrong fuel couldresult in damagetothe fuel system,theengine andthe emission control system.
#Onlyrefuel with low-sulfur unleadedfuel.
This fuel may contain upto10%ethanolbyvolume.Yourvehicle is suitablefor use withE10 fuel.
Neverrefuel with one ofthefollowing fuels:
RDiesel
RGasoline with morethan10%ethanolbyvolume, e.g. E15, E85, E100
RGasoline with morethan 3% methanolbyvolume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100
RGasoline with additives containing metal
Ifyou haveaccidentallyrefueled withthewrong fuel:
#Do not switchonthe ignition.
#Consult aqualified specialistworkshop.
Iftheavailable fuel is not sufficiently low in sul‐fur,this can produce unpleasant odors.
Onlyrefuel with fuel,that has at leastthe octanenumber specified inthe instruction label inthefuelfillerflap (→page180).
Ifyouwant maximum engine output:onlyrefuel with unleaded premium gradegasolinewith at least91AKI/95RON.
As atemporary measure, iftherecommendedfuel is notavailable,you may also use unleadedregulargasoline with an octane number of atleast87AKI/91RON.
*NOTEPrematurewearthrough unleadedregulargasoline
Unleadedregulargasoline can causetheenginetowear morequickly and impair lon‐gevity and performance.
If unleaded premium gradegasoline isunavailable andyou havetorefuel usingunleadedregulargasoline with87AKI/91RON:

Notes on brakefluid
Observethe notes on operatingfluids(→page 468).
&WARNINGRisk of an accident duetovapor pocketsforming inthe brake sys‐tem
The brakefluid constantly absorbs moisturefromthe air. This lowersthe boiling point ofthe brakefluid. Ifthe boiling point istoo low,vapor pockets mayforminthe brake systemwhenthe brakes are applied hard.
This causesthe braking effecttobeimpaired.
#Havethe brakefluidrenewed atthespecified intervals.
Havethe brakefluidregularlyreplaced at aqualified specialistworkshop.Only use brakefluid approvedbyMercedes-BenzaccordingtoMB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 331.0.

&WARNING‑ Risk offireand injury fromantifreeze
If antifreeze comes into contact withhotcomponent parts inthe engine compart‐ment, it may ignite.
#Allowthe enginetocool down beforeadding antifreeze.
#Makesurethat no antifreeze spills outnexttothefiller opening.
#Thoroughly clean off any antifreezefrom component parts beforestartingthevehicle.
*NOTEDamagecausedbyincorrect cool‐ant
#Only add coolantthat has been pre‐mixed withtherequired antifreeze pro‐tection.
