Refueling

Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features and functions
that are not necessarily available in your vehi-
cle, e.g., due to the selected options or coun-
try versions. This also applies to safety-re-
lated functions and systems. When using these
functions and systems, the applicable laws
and regulations must be observed.
Follow the following when
refueling
General information
Follow the fuel recommendation prior to refuel-
ing.
To also ensure all engine functions under un-
favorable conditions, for instance steep vehi-
cle inclinations, at least 3 US gal/10 liters fuel
should be refueled.
When refueling, hook the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Lifting up the filler
nozzle during refueling causes:
▷ Premature switching off.
▷ Reduced return of the fuel vapors.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks
off the first time.
Make sure that the fuel cap is closed properly
after refueling, otherwise the emissions warn-
ing light may light up.
Follow safety regulations posted at the filling
station.

other potential damage. Refuel promptly.
NOTICE
Fuels are toxic and aggressive. Overfilling of
the fuel tank can damage the fuel system.
