Refuelling
Refuelling
 | Risk of explosion |
|
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames and smoking are therefore prohibited when handling fuels.
Switch off the engine before refuelling.
|
| Risk of injury |
|
Avoid any contact with fuels.
You can damage your health if your skin comes into direct contact with fuel or if you inhale the vapours.
|
| Risk of fire |
|
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine. Never mix diesel with petrol. This would damage the fuel system and engine and could result in a vehicle fire.
|
 | |
|
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine. Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a petrol engine. Even small amounts of the wrong fuel will damage the injection system. Damage resulting from adding the wrong fuel is not covered by the warranty.
|
| |
|
Do not start the engine if you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel could enter the fuel lines. The fuel tank and fuel lines would then have to be drained. In this case, notify a qualified specialist workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.
|
When you open or close the vehicle with the key, the fuel filler flap is automatically unlocked or locked.

|
 |
To open: press the fuel filler flap in the direction of arrow .
|
| |
Turn the fuel filler cap to the left and remove it.
|
| |
Insert the fuel filler cap into the holder bracket on the inside of filler flap .
|
| |
Only fill the tank until the pump nozzle switches off.
|
| |
|
Overfilling the tank could damage the fuel system.
|
| |
To close: replace the fuel filler cap and turn it clockwise. The fuel filler cap audibly engages.
|
| |
Close the fuel filler flap.

Vehicles with a diesel engine:
If you have run the tank completely dry, it will be necessary to bleed the fuel system more.
|
Petrol (EN 228)
| |
|
Refuel using only
unleaded premium grade petrol with a minimum octane number of 95 RON/85
MON conforming to European standard EN 228.
You could otherwise
impair engine output or damage the engine.
You will find
further information about petrol under "Fuel" in the index.
|
| |
|
As a temporary
measure, but only when the recommended fuel is not available, you may also use
regular unleaded petrol, 91 RON/82.5 MON. This may
reduce performance and increase petrol consumption. Avoid driving at full
throttle.
In
some countries, the available petrol quality may not be sufficient and could
cause coking around the inlet valve. In such cases, and in consultation with a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, the petrol may be mixed with the additive
recommended by Mercedes-Benz (part no. A000989254510). You must observe the
notes and mixing ratios given on the container.
|
Turbo engines
| |
|
Refuel using only
super unleaded petrol with a minimum octane number of 98 RON/88
MON conforming to European standard EN 228.
You could otherwise
impair engine output or damage the engine.
You will find
further information about petrol under "Technical data" in the
index.
|
| |
|
If the recommended
fuel is not available and only as a temporary measure, you may also use premium
unleaded petrol, 95 RON/85 MON. This may reduce
performance and increase petrol consumption. You must avoid driving at full
throttle.
|
Diesel (EN 590)
| |
|
Only use diesel that complies with the EN 590 European standard.
You could otherwise impair engine output or damage the engine.
You will find further information about diesel under "Fuel" in the index.
|
| |
|
When refuelling vehicles with a diesel particle filter in countries outside the EU, only low-sulphur Euro diesel with less than 0.005 percent sulphur content by weight should be used. In countries in which diesel with a higher sulphur content is available (e.g. 0.035 percent by weight), the engine oil should be renewed at more frequent intervals. More information about intervals for changing the engine oil can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
|
| |
|
Using fuel that
does not comply with EN 590 can increase wear and damage the engine and
the exhaust system. Do not use the following:
-
marine
diesel
-
heating
oil
-
bio-diesel
-
vegetable
oil
-
petrol
-
paraffin
-
kerosene
Do not add such
fuels to diesel fuel and do not use any special additives (exception: flow
improvers - see "Low outside temperatures").
Damage caused by
the use of unapproved fuels or additives is not covered by the
warranty.
|
Low outside
temperatures
The flow properties
of diesel may be insufficient at low ambient temperatures.
To prevent
operating problems, diesel fuel with improved cold flow qualities is available
during the winter months. Your vehicle must be refuelled with this winter
diesel at temperatures of -5 °C or below.
You can use this
winter diesel at temperatures down to about -20 °C without
problems.
If
only summer diesel fuel or less cold-resistant winter diesel fuel (e.g. in
Mediterranean regions) is available, you should add an amount of flow improver
to the fuel corresponding to the outside temperature.
Mix the additive
with the diesel in good time, before the flow properties of the diesel become
insufficient. Otherwise, malfunctions can only be rectified by heating the
entire fuel system, e.g. by parking the vehicle in a heated garage.
| Risk of fire |
|
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine. Never mix diesel with petrol. This would damage the fuel system and engine and could result in a vehicle fire.
|
Flow
improver
The
effectiveness of a flow improver is not guaranteed with every fuel. Observe the
information provided by the manufacturer when using a flow improver. Only use
flow improvers that have been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Information
about flow improvers that have been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz can be
obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
