octane MERCEDES-BENZ GLE COUPE 2015 Owners Manual

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.
! Only use the fuel recommended. Operating
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.
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 station staff.
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. 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 sul-
phur-free fuel (sulphur content < 10 ppm) is
used for refuelling, the odours are reduced.
Information on refuelling (Y page 162).

! Only refuel using super unleaded petrol with
at least 98 ROZ, that conforms to European
standard EN 228 or an equivalent specifica-
tion.
You can otherwise impair engine output or
damage the engine.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to
10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use
with E10 fuel. You may refuel your vehicle
using E10 fuel.
! As a temporary measure, if the recommen-
ded fuel is not available, you may also use
unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 95 RON. This may reduce engine perform-
ance and increase fuel consumption. As much
as possible, avoid driving at full throttle.
! As a temporary measure, if the recommen-
ded fuel is not available, you may also use
unleaded petrol in emergencies with an
octane rating of 91 RON.
Doing so results in noticeably higher fuel con- sumption, and the engine power output is
noticeably reduced. Avoid driving at full throt-
tle.
If no fuel other than petrol with 91 RON or a
lower grade is available, you should have the
vehicle adapted to run on this fuel at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
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 preven- tion of residue build-up. Petrol must only be
mixed with additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Observe the instructions for
use in the product description. More informa-
tion 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 in the injection system as a result. In this
case, in consultation with a Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre, the petrol may be mixed with the
cleaning additive recommended by Mercedes-
Benz. Always observe the notes and mixing
ratios specified on the container.
Diesel Fuel grade
G
WARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of pure diesel fuel. When the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heat unnoticed. There is a risk of fire.
Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to
diesel fuel. 376
