Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. If you handle fuel
incorrectly, there is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
You must avoid fire, naked flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Switch off the engine
and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before
refuelling.
G
WARNING
Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is a danger of injury.
Do not swallow fuel or let it come into contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not inhale fuel
vapours. Keep fuels out of the reach of chil-
dren.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
Wash the fuel off any affected areas of skin
R
with water and soap immediately.
If you get fuel in your eyes, rinse them thor-
R
oughly with clean water immediately. Seek
immediate medical attention.

If fuel is swallowed, seek immediate medi-
R
cal attention. Do not induce vomiting.
Change any clothing that has come into
R
contact with fuel immediately.
G
WARNING
Electrostatic charge can cause sparks and
thereby ignite fuel vapours. There is a risk of
fire and explosion.
Always touch the vehicle body before opening
the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel pump
nozzle. This discharges any electrostatic
charge that may have built up.
G
WARNING
Vehicles with a diesel engine:
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of
pure diesel fuel. When the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heat unnoticed. There is a risk of fire.
Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to
diesel fuel.
! Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a
diesel engine. Do not use diesel to refuel vehi-
cles with a petrol engine. Do not switch on the
ignition if you accidentally refuel with the
wrong fuel. Otherwise, fuel can enter the fuel
system. Even small amounts of the wrong fuel
could result in damage to the fuel system and
the engine. The repair costs are high. Inform a
qualified specialist workshop and have the
fuel tank and the fuel lines drained com-
pletely.
Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the
!
fuel system.
! Take care not to spill any fuel on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
! Use a filter when adding fuel from a fuel can.
The fuel lines and/or the fuel injection system
could otherwise be blocked by particles from
the fuel can.
Do not get into the vehicle again during the refu-
elling process. Otherwise, electrostatic charge
could build up again.
