Low outside temperatures
iDiesel fuel with improved cold flow prop-
erties is available during the winter months.
Further information about fuel properties
can be obtained from oil companies, e.g. at gas stations.
Bio-diesel – FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)
Mercedes-Benz USA approves the use of bio-
diesel B5 for all BlueTEC diesel engines. The
concentration of bio-diesel in the ULSD may
not exceed 5% by volume.
Pure bio-diesel and diesel fuel with a higher
percentage of bio-diesel, such as B20, can
damage the engine and the fuel system. For
this reason, they are not approved.
For more information, consult the gas station
staff. The bio-diesel B5 label on the gasoline
pump must clearly state that the standard for ULSD has been fulfilled. If the label is not
clear, do not refuel the vehicle.
Do not refuel your vehicle with fuels unless
they have been approved by Mercedes-Benz.

RE85 fuel
Ra mixture of E85 fuel and premium-grade
unleaded gasoline
iFlexible Fuel vehicles can be recognized
by the Ethanol up to E85 sticker on the
inside of the fuel filler flap.
Fuel consumption
The energy content of E85 fuel is less than
that of the same amount of premium-grade
gasoline. The amount of fuel consumed when operating the vehicle with E85 fuel is there-
fore higher than with premium-grade gaso-
line.
Maintenance
Inform your authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter that you are operating or have operated
the vehicle with E85 fuel.
Low outside temperatures
