X Slowly slide oil dipstick :into the guide tube
to the stop and take it out again after approx- imately three seconds.
If the level is between MIN mark =and MAX
mark ;,the oil level is correct.

WARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of pure diesel fuel.W hen the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heatu nnoticed. There is arisk of fire.
Never refue lwith petrol. Never add petrol to
diesel fuel.
! When refuelling, only use diesel fuel that
conforms to the European standard EN 590 or is of equivalent quality .Fuel that does not
conform to EN 590 can leadtoi ncreased wear
as wellasd amage to the engine and exhaust
system. !
Do not use the following:
R marine diesel
R heating oil
R bio-diesel
R vegetable oil
R petrol
R paraffin
R kerosene
Do not mix such fuels with diesel fuel and do
not use any special additives. Otherwise,
engine damage may occur.
! Vehiclesw
ith diesel particle filters: in
countries outside the EU, only use low sulphur
Euro diesel with asulphurc ontent of under
50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission control sys- tem could be damaged.
You will usually find information aboutt he fuel
quality on the pump. If you cannot find the label
on the petrol pump, ask the filling station staff.
Information on refuelling (Y page 109).
Low outside temperatures In winter months, diesel fuel with an improved
cold flow quality is available. In Europe, the
EN 590 standard defines various climate-
dependent temperature categories. Malfunc-
tions can be avoided by refuelling with diesel
fuel that corresponds to the climatic specifica-
tions outlined in EN 590. At unusually low out-
side temperatures, it is possible that the flow
characteristics of the diesel fuel could be insuf- ficient. Accordingly, diesel fuel from warmer
areas may not be suitablef or operation in colder
climatic conditions.
i Further information on country-specific fuel
properties and fuel types with low-tempera-
ture resistance can be obtained from oil com- panies, e.g. at filling stations. AdBlue
