&WARNINGRisk of injurythroughexceed‐ingthe specified tire loadrating orthepermissible speedrating
Exceedingthe specified tire loadrating orthe permissible speedrating may leadtotiredamageandtothe tires bursting.
#Therefore, only use tire types and sizesapprovedforyourvehicle model.
#Observethe tire loadrating and speedratingrequiredforyourvehicle.
*NOTEVehicle and tire damagethroughtire types and sizesthat havenot beenapproved
For safetyreasons, onlyuse tires, wheelsand accessories which havebeen speciallyapprovedbyMercedes-Benzforyourvehicle.
These tires are specially adaptedtothe con‐
trol systems, such as ABS, ESP®and4MATIC, and marked asfollows:
RMO = Mercedes-Benz Original
RMOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended(run-flat tire onlyfor certain wheels)
RMO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer‐tain AMG tires)
Certaincharacteristics, such as handling,vehicle noise emissions, fuel consumption,etc. mayotherwise be adversely affected.Furthermore,other tire sizes couldresult inthe tiresrubbing againstthe body and axlecomponents when loaded. This couldresultin damagetothe tire orthevehicle.

*NOTEDamagecausedbythe wrong fuel
Even small amounts ofthe wrong fuel couldresult in damagetothe fuel system,theengine andthe emission control system.
#Onlyrefuel with low-sulfur unleadedfuel.
This fuel may contain upto10%ethanolbyvolume.Yourvehicle is suitablefor use withE10 fuel.
Neverrefuel with one ofthefollowing fuels:
RDiesel
RGasoline with morethan10%ethanolbyvolume, e.g. E15, E85, E100
RGasoline with morethan 3% methanolbyvolume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100
RGasoline with additives containing metal
Ifyou haveaccidentallyrefueled withthewrong fuel:
#Do not switchonthe ignition.
#Consult aqualified specialistworkshop.
Iftheavailable fuel is not sufficiently low in sul‐fur,this can produce unpleasant odors.
Onlyrefuel with fuel,that has at leastthe octanenumber specified inthe instruction label inthefuelfillerflap (→page180).
Ifyouwant maximum engine output:onlyrefuel with unleaded premium gradegasolinewith at least91AKI/95RON.
As atemporary measure, iftherecommendedfuel is notavailable,you may also use unleadedregulargasoline with an octane number of atleast87AKI/91RON.
*NOTEPrematurewearthrough unleadedregulargasoline
Unleadedregulargasoline can causetheenginetowear morequickly and impair lon‐gevity and performance.
If unleaded premium gradegasoline isunavailable andyou havetorefuel usingunleadedregulargasoline with87AKI/91RON:
Technical data469

#Onlyfillthe fueltanktohalf full withunleadedregulargasoline andtop up assoon as possible with unleaded pre‐mium gradegasoline.
#Do not drive atthe maximum speed.
#Avoid sudden acceleration and enginespeedsover 3000rpm.
This mayreduce engine performance andincrease fuel consumption. Neverrefuel usinggasoline with a lower octane number.
