! 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 premium-grade unlea-
ded petrol with at least 95 ROZ/85 MOZ,
that conforms to European standard
EN 228 or E DIN 51626–1 or an equivalent specification.
Fuel of this specification can contain up to
10 % ethanol.
Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 or
E DIN 51626–1 can lead to increased wear
and damage the engine and exhaust sys-
tem.
! Only use the fuel recommended. Operat-
ing the vehicle with other fuels can lead to
engine failure.
! Do not use the following:
R E85 (petrol with 85% ethanol)
R E100 (100% ethanol)
R M15 (petrol with 15% methanol)
R M30 (petrol with 30% methanol)
R M85 (petrol with 85% methanol)
R M100 (100% methanol)
R petrol with additives containing metal
R Diesel
Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom-
mended for your vehicle. Do not use addi-
tives. Otherwise, engine damage may
occur. This does not include cleaning addi- tives for the removal and prevention of res-
idue build-up. Petrol must only be mixed
with additives recommended by Mercedes- Benz; see "Additives". You can obtain fur-
ther information from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
Usually you will find information about the
fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label on the petrol pump, ask the filling sta-
tion staff.
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.
C 180, C 250: 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/83 MON.
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/82 MON. This may
reduce engine performance and increase fuelconsumption. Avoid driving at full throttle andsudden acceleration. Never refuel using fuel
with a lower RON/MON.
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
<1 0 ppm) is used for refuelling, the odours
are reduced.
Information on refuelling (Y page 205).
C 200, C 250
! Only refuel using unleaded, sulphur-free
unleaded petrol with at least 95 RON/
85 MON that conforms to European stand- ard EN 228 or an equivalent specification.
You could otherwise impair engine output
or damage the emission control system.
