els, series and optional equipment for your

vehicle that were available at the time of

going to press. National variations are pos-

sible. Note that your vehicle may not be

equipped with all of the functions descri-

functions relevant to safety.

You should have all work on electrical and

electronic components carried out at a quali-

as a temporary measure, if the recommended

fuel is not available, you may also use regular

unleaded petrol with an octane rating of

93 RON.

All other models: as a temporary measure, if

the recommended fuel is not available, you

may also use regular unleaded petrol with an

octane rating of 91 RON. This may reduce

engine performance and increase fuel con-

sumption. Avoid driving at full throttle and

sudden acceleration. Never refuel using fuel

with a lower RON.

Petrol

Fuel grade

! Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a

petrol 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 can 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 petrol with at

least 95 RON that conforms to the Euro-

pean standard EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or

an equivalent specification.

Fuel of this specification may contain up to

10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use

with E10 fuel. You may refuel your vehicle

using E10 fuel.

Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 or

E DIN 51626–1 can lead to increased wear

as well as damage to the engine and

exhaust system.

i In some countries, the available petrol

may not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This

fuel can temporarily produce unpleasant

odours, especially on short journeys. As

soon as sulphur-free fuel (sulphur content

< 10 ppm) is used for refuelling, the odours

are reduced.

Information on refuelling (Y page 181).

Mercedes-AMG vehicles

i E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.

Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10

fuel. You may refuel your vehicle using E10

fuel.

!

Only refuel using super unleaded petrol

with at least 98 RON, that conforms to the

European standard EN 228 or E DIN

51626-1 or an equivalent specification.

You can otherwise impair engine output or

damage the engine.

! Only use the fuel recommended. Operat-

ing the vehicle with other fuels can lead to

engine failure.

Fuel of this specification may contain up to

10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use

with E10 fuel. You may refuel your vehicle

using E10 fuel.

R

E85 (petrol with 85% ethanol)

R

E100 (100% ethanol)

use unleaded petrol with an octane rating

of 95 RON. This may reduce engine per-

formance and increase fuel consumption.

As much as possible, avoid driving at full

throttle.

Fuel grade

WARNING

G

If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash

point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of

pure diesel fuel. When the engine is running,

components in the exhaust system may over-

heat unnoticed. There is a risk of fire.

! As a temporary measure, if the recom-

mended fuel is not available, you may also

use unleaded petrol in emergencies with an

octane rating of 91 RON.

Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to

diesel fuel.

Doing so results in noticeably higher fuel

consumption, and the engine power output

is noticeably reduced. Avoid driving at full

throttle.

If no fuel other than petrol with 91 RON or a

lower grade is available, you should have

the vehicle adapted to run on this fuel at a

qualified specialist workshop.

! When refuelling, only use diesel fuel that

conforms to the European standard EN 590

or is of equivalent quality. Fuel that does

not conform to EN 590 can lead to

increased wear as well as damage to the

engine and exhaust system.

Additives

! Do not use the following:

! 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 build-up. Petrol must

only be mixed with additives recommended

by Mercedes-Benz. Observe the instruc-

tions for use in the product description.

More information about recommended

additives can be obtained from any

Do not mix such fuels with diesel fuel and

do not use any special additives. Other-

wise, engine damage may occur.

Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use

fuel brands that have additives.

! Vehicles with diesel particle filters: in

countries outside the EU, only use low sul-

phur Euro diesel with a sulphur content of

under 50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission

control system could be damaged.

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

this case, in consultation with a Mercedes-

Benz Service Centre, the petrol may be mixed

with the cleaning additive recommended by

Mercedes-Benz. Always observe the notes

and mixing ratios specified on the container.

! Vehicles without a diesel particle fil-

ter: in countries where only diesel fuel with

a high sulphur content is available, you will

need to carry out your vehicle's oil change

at shorter intervals. More information

about the interval for oil change can be

obtained from any qualified specialist

workshop.

Usually you will find information about the

fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the

The consumption figures were, in each

sion:

Low outside temperatures

In winter months, diesel fuel with an improved

cold flow quality is available. In Europe, the

EN 590 standard defines various climate-

dependent temperature categories. Malfunc-

tions can be avoided by refuelling with diesel

fuel that corresponds to the climatic specifi-

cations outlined in EN 590. At unusually low

outside temperatures, it is possible that the

flow characteristics of the diesel fuel could be

insufficient. Accordingly, diesel fuel from

warmer areas may not be suitable for opera-

tion in colder climatic conditions.

Or contact a qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING

G

The brake fluid continuously absorbs mois-

ture from the air. This results in the boiling

point of the brake fluid lowering. If the boiling

point of the brake fluid is too low, vapour

pockets may form when the brakes are sub-

jected to a heavy load. This would impair brak-

ing efficiency. There is a risk of an accident.

! Always use a suitable coolant mixture,

even in countries where high temperatures

prevail.

Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not

sufficiently protected from corrosion and

overheating.

Have the brake fluid renewed at the prescri-

bed intervals.

When handling brake fluid, observe the

important safety notes on service products

(Y page 396).

The brake fluid change intervals can be found
