NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system, the
engine and the emission control system.
#
Only refuel using premium-grade unlea‐
ded fuel that conforms to EN 228, or an
equivalent specification.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to
10 % ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use
with E10 fuel.
Do not refuel using:
R
Diesel
R
E85, E100
R
Petrol containing methanol (M15, M30,
M85, M100)
R
Petrol with additives containing metal
If you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel:
#
Do not switch the ignition on.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Recommended fuel: the recommended octane
number for your vehicle can be found in the
information table in the fuel filler flap
(
→
page 149).
Alternative fuel: as a temporary measure, if the
recommended fuel is not available, you may also
use regular unleaded regular petrol with an
octane number of at least 91 RON. This may
reduce engine output and increase fuel con‐
sumption.
Never refuel using fuel with a lower RON.
Further information on fuel can be found:

NOTE Damage caused by non-approved
additives
Even small amounts of the wrong additive
may lead to malfunctions occurring.
#
Only add cleaning additives recommen‐
ded by Mercedes-Benz to the fuel.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use fuel
brands that have additives.
The fuel grade available in some countries may
not be sufficient. Residue could build up in the
fuel injection system as a result. In this case, in
consultation with a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre, the fuel may be mixed with the cleaning
additive recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
Always observe the notes and mixing ratios
specified on the container.
