Things to consider when
refuelling
General
Before refuelling, take note of the fuel grade
information.
On vehicles with diesel engine, the fuel filler
neck is designed for refuelling at diesel pumps.
When topping up, hook the fuel pump noz-
zle fully into the filler pipe. Lifting the fuel
pump nozzle while topping up will cause the
following to happen:
▷ The supply is stopped too soon.
▷ Fuel vapour recovery is less effective.
The fuel tank is full when the fuel pump nozzle
cuts out for the first time.
Please comply with the safety regulations dis-
played at filling stations.
For further information:
Fuel grade, see page 314.

Safety information
NOTICE
If the range drops below 50 km, approx.
30 miles, the engine may no longer be sup-
plied with sufficient fuel. The engine functions
are no longer ensured. There is a risk of ma-
terial damage. Refuel in good time.
NOTICE
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive sub-
stances. Overfilling the fuel tank can damage
the fuel system. If fuel comes into contact
with paintwork, it can damage it. The envi-
ronment is polluted. There is a risk of mate-
rial damage. Avoid overfilling.
