of carbon deposits. These will form especially
on the inlet valves and in the combustion
chamber.
This could lead to engine runnin gproblems,
e.g.:
R longer engine warm-up phase
R uneven idle
R engine noise
R misfiring
R loss of power
In areas where petrol with the required addi-
tives is not available, carbon deposits can
build up. In this case, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends the use of additives that have been
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles; see
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
The quality of the fuel available in some coun-
tries may not be sufficient .Residue could
build up as aresult. In such cases, and in
consultation with aMercedes-BenzS ervice
Centre, the petrol may be mixed with the
additive recommended by Mercedes-Benz
(part no. A000989254510). You must
observe the notes and mixin gratios specified
on the container.

Do not mix other fuel additives with fuel. This

WARNING
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with adie-
sel engine. Do not mix diesel with petrol. This
would result in damage to the fuel system and
engine, which could lead to avehicle fire.
! When refuelling, only use diesel fuel that
conforms to the European standard EN 590
or is of equivalent quality. Fuel that does not conform to EN 590 can lead to
increased wear as well as damage to the
engin
eand exhaust system.
! Do not use the following:
R marine diesel
R heating oil
R bio-diesel
R vegetable oil
R petrol
R paraffin
R kerosene
Do not mix such fuels with diesel fuel and
do not use any special additives. This can
otherwise lead to engin edamage. This
does not include flow improver additives.
For further information ,see "Flow improv-
ers".
! Vehicles with adiesel particle filter: in
countries outside the EU, only refuel with
low-sulphur Euro diesel with asulphur con-
ten tunde r50p pm; otherwise the emission
contro lsystem could be damaged.
! Vehicles without adiesel particle fil-
ter: in countries where only diesel fuel with
ah igh sulphur conten tisavailable, you will
need to carry out your vehicle's oil change
at shorter intervals. More information
aboutt he interval for oil change can be
obtained from any qualified specialist
workshop.

Low outside temperatures
In winter months, diesel fuel with an improved
cold flow quality is available. In Europe, the
EN 590 standard defines various climate-
dependent temperature categories. Malfunc-
tions can be avoided by refuelling with diesel
fuel that corresponds to the climatic specifi-
cations outlined in EN 590. At unusually low 362
