Infotainment system101
Infotainment systemRadio reception 3
The radio is operated as described in the
operating instruct ions supplied.
Vehicle radio reception will differ from that
obtained with domestic radios.
As the vehicle antenna is relatively near the
ground, the broadcasting companies
cannot guarantee the same quality of
reception as is obtained with a domestic
radio using an overhead antenna.
z Changes in distance from the transmitter
z multi-path reception due to reflection
and
z shadowing
may cause hissing, noise, distortion or loss
of reception altogether.

Infotainment system functions can be
operated by the buttons mounted on the

Fuel filler cap
If replacing the fuel filler cap, be sure to use
the original fuel filler cap for your model, to
ensure full functionality.
Refuelling
Ensure suitable fuel is available before
driving in foreign countries. The fuel filler neck with bayonet cap is
located on the left rear side of the vehicle.
The tank flap is locked together with the
doors - see page 25.
Unlock doors, tailgate and tank flap by
pressing button q
on the remote control or
by pressing central locking switch m in the
driver’s door.
Open the tank flap by hand.
If, in cold weather, the tank flap does not
open, tap it and try again.
To unlock fuel filler cap: turn it anti-
clockwise.
If hissing occurs, wait until it stops before
completely unscrewing the fuel filler cap.
Remove fuel filler cap and place it in its
holder on the inside of the tank flap.
The fuel tank has a limiting system which
prevents overfilling of the tank. Correct refuelling is largely dependent on
correct operation of the dispensing pump:
z
Insert dispensing pump as far as it will go
and switch it on.
z After the first automatic cut-off, do not
fill the tank any further.
Replace the fuel filler cap and turn it
clockwise until you hear several clicks.
Close tank flap.
Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately.
If fuel is spilt onto the vehicle, rinse the area
with clean, cold water as soon as possible,
to avoid permanent damage to painted
surfaces.
9 Warning
Care must be taken when dealing with
fuel.
Before refuelling, it is absolutely vital to
switch off the engi ne and any heating
systems with combustion chambers.
Switch off mobile phones.
Fuel is inflammable and explosive,
therefore avoid dealing with fuel near
naked flames and doing anything that
would generate sparks. No smoking!
This also applies where the smell of fuel is
noticeable. If the smell of fuel vapour
occurs in the vehicle itself, have the cause
remedied immediately by a workshop.
