Maintenance and care

Notes on the care of tailpipes
& WARNING Risk of burns from the tailpipe and tailpipe trims
The exhaust tailpipe and tailpipe trims can become very hot. If you come into contact with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn yourself. # Always be particularly careful around the
tailpipe and the tailpipe trims and supervise children especially closely in this area. # Allow vehicle parts to cool down before touching them.
Observe the following notes in order to prevent damage to the vehicle: R Clean the tailpipes with a cleaning agent rec-
ommended for Mercedes-Benz, especially in the winter and after washing the vehicle. R Do not use acidic cleaning agents.

Changing a wheel # Be sure also to observe the notes on changing
a wheel in the Operator’s Manual of your vehicle.
Vehicles with AMG ceramic high-performance composite brake system:

• NOTE Damage to the ceramic brake disc when changing a wheel
  Mercedes-AMG vehicles with ceramic brake discs: during removal and repositioning of the wheel, the wheel rim can strike the ceramicbrake disc and damage it. # Take particular care. # Ask another person for assistance or use
  a second alignment bolt.

  When changing a wheel, avoid exerting any force on the brake disks. This can

  lead to impaired comfort during braking.

 Technical data

Operating fluids Fuel
Information on fuel quality for Mercedes-AMG vehicles Observe the notes on operating fluids in the vehicle owner’s manual.

• NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel
  Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system. # Refuel only with low- sulfur gasoline.
  This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol by volume. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel. Never refuel with one of the following fuels: R Diesel R Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by
  volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100

R Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by volume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100
R Gasoline with metallic additives
If you have accidentally refueled with the wrong fuel:

Do not switch on the vehicle.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sulfur, it may produce unpleasant odors.
Refuel only with premium-grade unleaded gasoline that has an octane number of at least 91 AKI/ 95 RON.
% Vehicles with M 256M gasoline engine: when you use 91 AKI/95 RON, there may be slight limitations in performance that have no further consequences.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended fuel is not available, you may also use regular unleaded gasoline. When doing this, note the octane number on the information label on the fuel filler flap (see the vehicle owner’s manual). Filling up

with regular unleaded gasoline may reduce engine output and increase fuel consumption.
Never refuel using gasoline with an even lower RON.

• NOTE Premature engine wear through unleaded regular gasoline
  Impairment of the longevity and performance of the engine.
  If unleaded premium grade gasoline is unavailable and you have to refuel using unleaded regular gasoline:

  Only fill the fuel tank to half full with unleaded regular gasoline and

  refill as soon as possible with unleaded premium grade gasoline.

  Do not drive at the maximum design speed.

  Avoid sudden acceleration and engine speeds over 3000 rpm.
