Mercedes-Benz E-CLASS SEDAN 2023 Refueling 

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan meets the demands of contemporary drivers by providing a simple and effective refuelling procedure. Its capless fuelling technology makes refuelling easier by doing away with the requirement for a conventional gasoline cap. The gasoline tank capacity is engineered to guarantee sufficient range for prolonged travels, hence decreasing the number of gas station visits. To further increase the range on a single tank of petrol, the E-Class further optimizes fuel economy for versions that come with mild hybrid technology. This seamless and effective refilling process highlights the E-Class Sedan’s dedication to delivering an elegant and fluid driving experience.

Refuelling

Refuelling the Vehicle
Risk of fire or explosion from fuel Fuels are highly flammable.

• Fire, open flames, smoking and creating sparks must be avoided.
• Before refuelling, switch off the vehicle and, if installed, the stationary heater, and leave them switched off during refuelling.

WARNING
Risk of injury from fuels

Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to your health.

• Do not swallow fuel or let it come into contact with skin, eyes or clothing
• Do not inhale fuel vapour.
• Keep children away from fuel.
• Keep doors and windows closed during the refuelling process.

If you or other people come into contact with fuel, observe the following:

• Immediately rinse fuel off your skin with soap and water.
• If fuel comes into contact with your eyes, immediately rinse them thoroughly with clean water. Seek medical attention immediately.
• If you swallow fuel, seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
• Change immediately out of clothing that has come into contact with fuel.

WARNING
Risk of fire and explosion due to electrostatic charge Electrostatic charge can ignite fuel vapour.

• Before you open the fuel filler cap or take hold of the pump nozzle, touch the metallic vehicle body.
• To avoid creating another electrostatic charge, do not get into the vehicle again during the refuelling process.

NOTE
Damage caused by the wrong fuel.

Vehicles with a gasoline engine:
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system.

• Only refuel with low-sulfur spark-ignition engine fuel.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel. Never refuel with one of the following fuels:

• Diesel
• Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100
• Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by volume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100
• Gasoline with additives containing metal

If you have accidentally refuelled with the wrong fuel:

• Do not switch on the vehicle.
• Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

NOTE
Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a gasoline engine

If you have accidentally refuelled with the wrong fuel:

• Do not switch on the vehicle. Otherwise, fuel can enter the engine.
  Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system and the engine. The repair costs are high.
• Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
• Have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.

NOTE
Damage to the fuel system caused by overfilled fuel tanks

• Only fill the fuel tank until the pump nozzle switches off.

NOTE
Fuel may spray out when you remove the fuel pump nozzle

• Only fill the fuel tank until the pump nozzle switches off.

Requirements

• The vehicle is unlocked.

Observe the notes on service fluids and fuel. Only refuel with fuel that has at least the octane rating specified in the information label in the fuel filler flap. Otherwise, engine output may be reduced and fuel consumption increased.
