Refueling
G
Warning!
Gasoline is highly flammable and poison-
ous. It burns violently and can cause seri-
ous personal injury.
Never allow sparks, flame or smoking mate-
rials near gasoline!
Turn off the engine before refueling.
Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid
inhaling fumes and any skin or clothing con-
tact. Extinguish all smoking materials.
Direct skin contact with fuels and the inha-
lation of fuel vapors are damaging your
health.
G
Warning!
Overfilling of the fuel tank may create pres-
sure in the system which could cause a gas
discharge. This could cause the gas to
spray back out when removing the fuel
pump nozzle, which could cause personal
injury.
!
Never refuel vehicles with gasoline engine
with diesel fuel. Even small amounts of die-
sel fuel will damage the fuel system and
engine. Damage resulting from the use of
non-approved fuels or fuel additives or
resulting from mixing gasoline with diesel
fuel is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
!
If you have accidentally filled the tank
with incorrect or non-approved fuel, do not
switch on the ignition. Otherwise the incor-
rect or non-approved fuel will get into the
fuel lines. The fuel system must be drained
completely. Contact an authorized Mer-
cedes-Benz Center to have the fuel system
drained completely.
!
To prevent damage to the catalytic con-
verters, only use premium unleaded gaso-
line in this vehicle.
Any noticeable irregularities in engine oper-
ation should be repaired promptly.
Otherwise, excessive unburned fuel may
reach the catalytic converter, causing it to
overheat and potentially start a fire.
i
Only use premium unleaded gasoline with
a minimum Posted Octane Rating of 91
(average of 96 RON / 86 MON).
Information on gasoline quality can nor-
mally be found on the fuel pump. Please
contact gas station personnel in case
labels on the pump cannot be found.
