*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.

*NOTEDamagefrom use of unsuitableadditives
Even small amounts ofthe wrong additivemay leadtomalfunctions occurring.
#Only add cleaning additivesrecommen‐dedbyMercedes-Benztothe fuel.
Mercedes-Benzrecommendsthatyou use fuelbrandsthat haveadditives.
In some countries,the fuelavailable may nothavesufficient additives.Residue could build upinthe fuel injection system as aresult. Inthiscase, in consultation with an authorizedMercedes-Benz Center,the fuel may be mixedwiththe cleaning additiverecommendedbyMercedes-Benz.

Notes on brakefluid
Observethe notes on operatingfluids(→page 468).
&WARNINGRisk of an accident duetovapor pocketsforming inthe brake sys‐tem
The brakefluid constantly absorbs moisturefromthe air. This lowersthe boiling point ofthe brakefluid. Ifthe boiling point istoo low,vapor pockets mayforminthe brake systemwhenthe brakes are applied hard.
This causesthe braking effecttobeimpaired.
