Petrol (EN 228)
Fuel grade
!
Only refuel using unleaded premium-
grade petrol with at least
95 RON/85MON, whichconforms to Euro-
pean standardEN228.
Youcan otherwise impair engine output or
damage the engine.
!
Do not use the following:
R
E85 (petrol with 85 %ethanol)
R
E100(100 %ethanol)
R
M15 (petrolwith 15 %methanol)

Do not mix these fuelswith petrol and do
not use any special additives. Otherwise,
this can lead to damage to the engine. This
does not include additives for the removal
and prevention of residue build-up on the
inlet valves.
i
If the recommended fuel is not available,
but only as atemporary measure, you may
also use regularunleaded petrol,
91 RON/82.5 MON. Thismay reduce
engine performance and increase fuel con-
sumption. Avoid drivingatfull throttle.
In some countries, the fuel gradeavailable
may not be adequate and could cause res-
iduetobuild up around the inlet valve. In
such cases, and in consultation with a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, the petrol
may be mixed with the additive recommen-
ded by Mercedes-Benz (part no.
A000989254510). You must observe the
notesand mixing ratios specified on the
container.

countries outsidethe EU,only use low sul-
phurEuro diesel with asulphurcontent of
under 50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission
control system couldbedamaged.
!
Vehicles without adiesel particle fil-
ter: the engineoil should be changed more
frequently in countries in which diesel with
ahigher sulphur contentisavailable.More
information about intervals for changing
the engineoil can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
