of warrant yrights. Leaded petrol
You may fill up
with leaded petrol incoun-
tries where unleaded petrol is not availa-
ble. This shortens the interval for replacing
spark pl ugs to 20,000 km.
6 Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre before using leaded petrol.
! Leaded petrol damages the catalytic con-
verter and the Lambda probe.
If you exceed theinte rval for replacing the spark

we ar or engine damage:
! Diesel which does not compl ywith EN 590
! Marine diesel fuel
! Heating oil
! Vegetable oil methyl ester (VOME)
! Fuel additives ("b iodiesel", FAME fue ls)
The use of fuels an d/or fuel additives which
have not bee napproved may result in limitation
