octane MERCEDES-BENZ CLA-CLASS 2013 Owners Manual

! 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. This can otherwise lead to engine
damage. This does not include cleaning
additives for the removal and prevention of
residue 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 can refuel your vehicle using E10
fuel.
i CLA 200, CLA 250: as a temporary meas-
ure, if the recommended fuel is not availa-ble, you may also use regular unleaded pet-
rol with an octane rating of 93 RON/
83 MON.
All other models: as a temporary meas-
ure, if the recommended fuel is not availa-
ble, you may also use unleaded petrol with
an octane rating of 91 RON/82 MON. This
may reduce engine performance and
increase fuel consumption. Avoid driving at
full throttle and sudden 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
< 10 ppm) is used for refuelling, the odours
are reduced.
Information on refuelling ( Y page 159).
Additives
! 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
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
fuel brands that have additives.
The quality of the fuel available in some coun-
tries may not be sufficient. Residue could
build up as a result. In such cases, and in
consultation with a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre, the petrol may be mixed with the
cleaning additive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz (part no. A000989254512).
You must observe the notes and mixing ratios
specified on the container.338Service products and capacitiesTechnical data
