It isn't necessary to use premium fuel but you can use it.
According to design and manufacturers recomendations it is required. Certainly it may run on other grades..but it is a machine that can do it's best with premium. Your instrument cluster even has a notice saying use premium only.
------------- I asked a Mercedes dealer this before, and he says that using non-premium fuel will eventually end up damaging your engine, so you probably should avoid doing that. -.-
