158 Refuelling
C C a a u u t t i i o o n n
On vehicles with a catalytic converter, never drive until the fuel tank is
completely empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring. This allows
unburnt fuel into the exhaust system, which can cause overheating and
K
damage to the catalyst.

If the central locking system should fail, the flap can be released
manually:
• Open tailgate and – if fitted – fold back the right luggage
compartment trim from side panel.

you will find information on the correct octane rating for your

engine.
General notes
• Unleaded petrol must comply with DIN EN
petrol with DIN 51 600.
• If, in an emergency, the octane rating of the available petrol is
lower than that required by the engine, only drive with medium
engine speeds and low engine loading. H H i i g g h h e e n n g g i i n n e e l l o o a a d d i i n n g g w w i i t t h h

petrol of the correct octane rating as soon as possible.
• Fuel with a higher octane rating than that required by the engine
can be used without limitation. There are, however, no advantages
regarding output and consumption.
