3005-1. MOBILITY
This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, for
instance, due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
Depending on the region, many
gas stations sell fuel that has
been customized to winter or
summer conditions. Fuel that is
available in winter,for instance
helps make a cold start easier.
For the best fuel consumption,
the gasoline should be sul-
fur-free or very low in sulfur con-
tent.
Fuels that are marked on the gas pump as containing metal
must not be used.
Fuels with a maximum ethanol
content of 25 %, i. e. E10 or
E25, may be used for refueling.
To achieve nominal values for
mileage and consumption, fol-
low the specified fuel quality in
the sales literature.
Ethanol should meet the follow-
ing quality standards:
US: ASTM 4806–xx
CAN: CGSB-3.511–xx
xx: comply with the current valid
standard in each case.
The use of fuels of minimum
quality has no influence on the
service life of the engine.
