fuel cap MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS 2019 Owners Manual

Beforeyou openthe fuelfiller cap ortakehold ofthe pump nozzle,touchthemetallicvehicle body.This discharges any electrostaticchargethat may havebuilt up.
Do notget intothevehicle again duringtherefueling process.Otherwise, electrostaticchargecouldbuild up again.
NOTEDamagecausedbythe wrong fuel
Fuelthat does not conformtotherequiredquality can leadtoincreasedwear aswell asdamagetothe engine andexhaust system.
Only usethe fuelrecommended.
NOTEDamagecausedbythe wrong fuel
Vehicles with agasoline engine:
Even small amounts ofthe wrong fuel couldresult in damagetothe fuel system,theengine andthe emission control system.
TheRONrequirement is located inthefuelfillerflap.
Only refuel with low-sulfur unleadedfuel.
This fuel may contain upto10%ethanol.Yourvehicle is suitablefor use with E10 fuel.
Neverrefuel using any ofthefollowing fuels:
RDiesel
RGasoline with morethan10%ethanolbyvolume, e.g. E15, E85, E100
RGasoline with morethan 3% methanolbyvolume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100
RGasoline with additives containing metal
Ifyou accidentallyrefuel withthe wrong fuel:
Do not switchthe ignition on.
Consult aqualified specialistworkshop.
NOTEDo not use dieseltorefuelvehi‐cles with agasoline engine.
Ifyou accidentallyrefuel withthe wrong fuel:
RDo not switchthe ignition on. Otherwisefuel can enterthe engine.
Even small amounts ofthe wrong fuelcouldresult in damagetothe fuel systemandthe engine. Therepair costs are high.
Consult aqualified specialistworkshop.

Maintenance and care349

call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (inthe USA) or1-800-387-0100(in Canada).
Correctthe tire pressure if it isstill at least130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). SeetheTireandLoading Information placard onthe driver'sside B‑pillar orthe tire pressuretable inthefuelfillerflapforvalues.
Toincreasethe tire pressure:switchonthe tire inflation compressor.
Toreduce the tire pressure:press pressurerelease button1nexttomanometer2.
Whenthe tire pressure is correct, unscrewthefilling hose fromthevalve ofthe sealedtire.
Screwthevalve cap ontothevalve ofthesealed tire.
Pullthe tire sealant bottle out ofthe tireinflation compressor.Thefilling hosestays onthe tire sealant bot‐tle.

Notes onthe12V battery
\nWARNINGRisk of an accident duetoworkcarried out incorrectly onthe bat‐tery
Workcarried out incorrectly onthe batterycan,forexample, leadtoa short circuit. Thiscan leadtofunctionrestrictions in safety-rel‐
evant systems,forexamplethe lighting sys‐
tem, ABS (anti-lockbraking system) or ESP®
(ElectronicStability Program). The operatingsafety ofyourvehicle may berestricted.
You could lose control ofthevehicle inthefollowing situations:
Rwhen braking

\nWARNINGRisk of accident causedbyrepeated drop in tire pressure
Ifthe tire pressure dropsrepeatedly,thewheel,valve or tire may be damaged.
Insufficient tire pressure can causethe tirestoburst.
Inspectthe tirefor signs offoreignobjects.
Check whetherthe wheel orvalve has aleak.
Ifyou are unabletorectifythe damage,contact aqualified specialistworkshop.
You canfind information on tire pressureforthevehicle'sfactory-installed tires onthefollowinglabels:
RTireand Loading Information placard ontheB‑pillar ofyourvehicle (→page 393).
RTirepressuretable onthe inside ofthe fuelfillerflap (→page 387).
Observethe maximum tire pressure(→page 399).
Use a suitable tire pressuregaugetocheckthetire pressure. The outer appearance of a tiredoes not permit anyreliable conclusion aboutthe tire pressure.
Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring sys‐tem:You can alsocheckthe tire pressure usingthe on-board computer.
Only correct tire pressure whenthe tires arecold. Conditionsfor cold tires:
RThevehicle has been parked withthe tiresout of direct sunlightfor at least three hours.
RThevehicle has traveled lessthan 1 mile(1.6 km).
Arise inthe tiretemperature of18°F (10 °C)increasesthe tire pressurebyapprox.10kPa(0.1 bar/1.5 psi).Takethis into account whencheckingthe tire pressure ofwarmtires.
The tire pressure recommendedfor increasedload/speed inthe tire pressuretable can affecttheride comfort.
\nWARNINGRisk of accident from unsuita‐ble accessories onthe tirevalves
Ifyou mount unsuitable accessories ontotirevalves,the tirevalves may beoverloaded andmalfunction, which can cause tire pressureloss.Tirepressure monitoring systemsforretrofitting will causethe tirevalvetoremainopen. This can alsoresult in tire pressureloss.
Only screwstandardvalve caps orvalvecaps specifically approvedbyMercedes-Benzforyourvehicle ontothe tirevalve.
