Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use

fuel brands that have the additives.
The quality of the fuel available in some

countries may not be sufficient. Residue

could build up as a result. In such cases, and

in consultation with an authorized Mercedes-

Benz Center, the gasoline may be mixed with

the cleaning additive recommended by

Mercedes-Benz (part no. A000989254512).

You must observe the notes and mixing ratios

specified on the container.

Flexible Fuel vehicles

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

Fuel is highly flammable. If you handle fuel

incorrectly, there is a risk of fire and

explosion.
You must avoid fire, open flames, creating

sparks and smoking. Switch off the engine

and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before

refueling.

G

WARNING

Fuel is poisonous and hazardous to health.

There is a risk of injury.
You must make sure that fuel does not come

into contact with your skin, eyes or clothing

and that it is not swallowed. Do not inhale fuel

vapors. Keep fuel away from children.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,

observe the following:

R

Wash away fuel from skin immediately

using soap and water.

R

If fuel comes into contact with your eyes,

immediately rinse them thoroughly with

clean water. Seek medical assistance

without delay.

Flexible Fuel vehicles can be refueled with the

following fuel types:

R

premium-grade unleaded gasoline

R

E85 fuel

R

a mixture of E85 fuel and premium-grade

unleaded gasoline

i

Flexible 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

therefore higher than with premium-grade

gasoline.
Maintenance
Inform your authorized Mercedes-Benz

Center that you are operating or have

operated the vehicle with E85 fuel.
Low outside temperatures
If the outside temperature is below 32 ‡

(0 †), the starting procedure can take

noticeably longer when operating with E85

fuel.
E85 fuel is not suitable for use at outside

temperatures under -4 ‡ (-20 †).

Engine oil

General notes
!

Never use engine oil or an oil filter of a

specification other than is necessary to

fulfill the prescribed service intervals. Do

not change the engine oil or oil filter in

order to achieve longer replacement

intervals than those prescribed. You could

otherwise cause engine damage or damage

to the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Follow the instructions in the service

interval display regarding the oil change.
