RefuellingVehicle equipmentThis chapter describes all standard, national
and special equipment provided in the model
series. Equipment not available in the vehicle is
therefore also described, for example the se‐
lected special equipment or national version.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions
and systems. Comply with the relevant na‐
tional regulations when using the correspond‐
ing functions and systems.
Notes Before refuelling, observe notes on fuel quality,
see page 174.
ATTENTION
If the range drops below 50 km, approx.
30 miles, the engine could not be supplied
anymore with sufficient fuel. Engine functions
are not ensured anymore. Danger of damage
to property. Refuel in good time.◀

Note when refuelling
ATTENTION
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive.
Overfilling the fuel tank can damage the fuel
system. If it comes into contact with painted
surfaces, it can damage them. This pollutes
the environment. Danger of damage to prop‐
erty. Avoid overfilling.◀
When refuelling, insert the filler nozzle fully into
the filler neck. Lifting the filler nozzle during re‐
fuelling results in the following:
▷The fuel supply being cut off prematurely.▷Fuel vapour and fumes being fed back less
effectively.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle cuts
out for the first time.
Comply with the safety regulations displayed
at filling stations.
