Fuel

qInformation on fuel quality for vehicles with gas-
oline engines
Observe the notes on operating Ouids
(  page 374).
*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 with low-sulfur spark-ignition
engine fuel.
This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol by vol- ume. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel.
Never refuel with one of the following fuels: = diesel
= Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by
volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100
= Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by
volume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100
= Gasoline with additives containing metal
If you have accidentally refueled with the
wrong fuel:Do not switch on the vehicle.Consult a qualiNed specialist workshop.
If the available fuel is not suPciently low in sulfur,
it may produce unpleasant odors.
Only refuel with fuel that has at least the octane number speciNed in the information label in the
fuel Nller Oap ( page 168).
For maximum engine output: Only refuel using
premium-grade gasoline with at least 91 AKI/
95 RON.
If the recommended fuel is not available, you may also temporarily use regular gasoline with anoctane number of at least 87 AKI/91 RON. Thismay reduce engine output and increase fuel con-
sumption.
Never refuel using gasoline with an even lower
RON.
*NOTE Premature engine wear through
unleaded regular gasoline
Impairment of the longevity and performance
of the engine.
If unleaded premium grade gasoline is unavail- able and you have to refuel using unleaded
regular gasoline:
Only Nll the fuel tank to half full with
unleaded regular gasoline and reNll as
soon as possible with unleaded premium
grade gasoline.Do not drive at the maximum design speed.Avoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds over 3000 rpm.

with gasoline engine)
Observe the notes on operating Ouids
(  page 374).*NOTE Damage from use of unsuitable
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 brand-
name fuels with additives.
In some countries, the fuel available may not have
suPcient additives. Deposits could build up in the
fuel injection system as a result. In this case, in consultation with a Mercedes-Benz Service Cen-ter, mix the fuel with the cleaning additive recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz. Observe the notes and mixing ratios indicated on the tank.

ApprovalAll models229.71, 229.72 1)1) Recommended for lowest possible fuel consumption (lowest SAE
viscosity class in each case; observe possible restrictions of the
approved SAE viscosity classes)
Use only SAE 0W-20 viscosity class engine oils.
To achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption, it is recommended to use the engine oil speciNca-
tions marked in the table for the lowest SAE vis-
cosity class. While doing so, observe possible
restrictions of the approved SAE viscosity classes.
Engine oil Nlling capacityModelCapacityAll models6.3 US qt (6.0 liters)
The speciNed Nlling capacity refers to an oil
change with the oil Nlter.
Notes on brake Ouid
Observe the notes on operating Ouids
(  page 374).
&WARNING Risk of an accident due to
vapor pockets forming in the brake system
The brake Ouid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake Ouid. If the boiling point is too low,
vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard.
This causes the braking eMect to be impaired.
Have the brake Ouid renewed at the
speciNed intervals.Have the brake Ouid regularly replaced at a quali-
Ned specialist workshop.
Only use a brake Ouid approved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 331.0.
