months so that you can continue to operate your
vehicle reliably. Ask at your filling station wheth­
er the diesel fuel available there is suitable for
the current conditions and for the temperatures
which could potentially occur.
CD CAUTION
- Never use FAME fuels (biodiesel), petrol,
heating oil, thinners or any other fuels or
additives, as these could cause serious dam­
age to the fuel system and the engine.
- Never start the engine if you fill up with the
wrong type of fuel, as this could damage
the fuel system and the engine. Obtain pro­
fessional assistance.

as far as the stop ¢ Fig. 208 and ensure it is
properly engaged .
... Start refuelling. When the automatic filler noz­
zle is operated correctly it will switch itself off
as soon as the tank is full. Do not try to put in
more fuel after the nozzle cuts out, as this will
fill the expansion chamber in the fuel tank.

wait for 5 seconds before pulling out the filler
nozzle so that any remaining fuel can flow into
the tank opening.

A WARNING
Fuel is highly inflammable and can cause seri­
ous burns and other injuries.
- When filling your tank or a spare fuel canis­
ter with fuel, do not smoke and keep away
from naked flames -risk of explosion!
- Observe all relevant statutory regulations
on using, storing and transporting spare
fuel canisters.
- For safety reasons we do not recommend
carrying a spare fuel canister in the vehicle.
The canister could become damaged in an
accident and Leak.
- If, in exceptional circumstances, you have to
carry a spare fuel canister, please observe
the following warnings:
- Never fill fuel into the spare fuel canister
with the canister placed in or on top of the
vehicle. An electrostatic charge could
build up during filling, causing the fuel va­
pour to ignite -risk of explosion! Always
place the canister on the ground to fill it.
- Insert the filler nozzle as far as possible
into the spare fuel canister .

- Switch off the warm engine. Wait for a few mi­
nutes for the oil to drain back into the sump.
- Open the bonnet ¢page 245.
- Pull out the oil dipstick ¢page 246, Fig. 214,
wipe it with a clean cloth and insert it again,
pushing it in as far as it will go.
- Then pull the dipstick out again and check the
oil level ¢table on page 248.
- If the oil level is too low, add more engine oil.

Topping up the engine oil
- Unscrew the cap "E::71 ¢Fig. 216from the oil fill­
er opening ¢ page 246, Fig. 214.
- Carefully add 0.5 litres of suitable engine oil
¢page 247.
-After two minutes check the oil level once
again.
- If the oil level is too low, add a smaller quantity
of engine oil. The level must always be below
the marking @¢Fig. 215 ¢0.
- Screw the oil filler cap "E::71 back on and push
the dipstick all the way in.
A WARNING
- Ensure that no engine oil comes into contact
with hot engine components when topping
up: this could cause a fire.
- The oil filler cap must be properly closed to
prevent oil from squirting onto the hot en­
gine or exhaust system while the engine is
running -risk of fire!
- Wash your skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oil.
248 CD
CAUTION
- The engine oil must never drop below the
marking (!)¢ Fig. 215 -risk of engine dam­
age!
- When topping up the engine oil, make sure
that the oil level is not above the marking
@ ¢Fig. 215, as this may result in damage
to the catalytic converter or to the engine.
Do NOT start the engine. Contact a qualified
workshop to extract the engine oil if neces­
sary.
- Applies to vehicles which have an oil dip­
stick with area® ¢Fig. 215: If you run your
vehicle on diesel fuel of poorer quality than
EN 590 standard fuel, the fuel can get into
the engine oil. In this case, the oil Level
gradually rises and the quality of the engine
oil decreases. Once the oil level has reached
the marking @or the indicator lamp II
has come on, the engine oil level must not
be corrected by extracting the surplus oil -
risk of engine damage! The engine oil must
be changed ¢ page 18.
- No additives should be used with engine oil.
Any damage caused by the use of such addi­
tives would not be covered by the factory
warranty.
® For the sake of the environment
- Never pour engine oil down drains or into
the ground.
-Always observe statutory requirements
when disposing of empty oil canisters.
@ Note
Depending on how you drive and the condi­
tions in which the car is used, oil consumption
can be up to 0.5 Ltr./1000 km. Oil consump­
tion on RS models can be up to 0.8 ltr./1,000
km. Oil consumption is likely to be higher for
the first 5,000 km. For this reason the engine
oil level must be checked at regular intervals,
preferably when filling the tank and before a
journey.
