In such cases, start the engine around

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this

knowledge and tools for the work required.
V.O.M.E. fuels do not attain the same quality
as winter diesel. We recommend using
standard winter diesel at temperatures below
–10 °C.
In particular, work relevant to safety or on

that you first refuel with standard
diesel fuel and then drive the vehicle for
30 minutes.
