Refuelling the vehicle
WARNING ‑ Risk of fire or explosion caused by fuel

Fuels are highly inflammable.

You must avoid fire, naked flames, creating sparks and smoking.
Before refuelling, switch off the engine and auxiliary heating if your vehicle is equipped with auxiliary heating.
WARNING Risk of injury from fuel

Fuels are poisonous and harmful to your health

Do not swallow fuel or let it come into contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Do not inhale fuel vapour.
Keep children away from fuel.

If you or other people come into contact with fuel, observe the following:

Immediately rinse fuel off your skin with soap and water.
If fuel comes into contact with your eyes, immediately rinse them thoroughly with clean water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If you swallow fuel, seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
Change immediately out of clothing that has come into contact with fuel.
WARNING Risk of fire and explosion due to electrostatic charge

Electrostatic charge can cause sparks and thereby ignite fuel vapours.

Touch the metal vehicle body before opening the fuel filler cap or touching the pump nozzle.

This discharges any electrostatic charge that may have built up.

WARNING Risk of fire from fuel mixture

Vehicles with a diesel engine:

If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash point of the fuel mixture is lower than that of pure diesel fuel.

While the engine is running, component parts in the exhaust system may overheat without warning.

Never refuel using petrol.
Never mix petrol with diesel fuel.
NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Fuel that does not conform to the required quality can lead to increased wear as well as damage to the engine and exhaust system.

Only use the fuel recommended.
NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Vehicles with a petrol engine:

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system.

Only refuel using premium-grade unleaded fuel that conforms to EN 228, or an equivalent specification.

Fuel of this specification may contain up to 10 % ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel.

Do not refuel using:
  • Diesel

  • E85, E100

  • Petrol containing methanol (M15, M30, M85, M100)

  • Petrol with additives containing metal

If you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel:

Do not switch the ignition on.
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Vehicles with a diesel engine:

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system.

Only refuel using diesel fuel that conforms to European standard EN 590, or an equivalent specification.
Vehicles with diesel particulate filters: in countries outside the EU, only use low-sulphur Euro diesel with a sulphur content of under 50 ppm.
Do not use the following:
  • Petrol

  • Marine diesel

  • Heating oil

  • Bio-diesel

  • Vegetable oil

  • Paraffin

  • Kerosene

If you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel:

Do not switch the ignition on.
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
NOTE Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a petrol engine.
If you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel:
  • Do not switch on the ignition. 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.

Contact a qualified specialist workshop.
Have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.
NOTE Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine.
If you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel:
  • Do not switch on the ignition. 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.

Contact a qualified specialist workshop.
Have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.
NOTE Damage to the fuel system caused by overfilled fuel tanks.
Only fill the fuel tank until the pump nozzle switches off.
NOTE Fuel may spray out when you remove the fuel pump nozzle.
Only fill the fuel tank until the pump nozzle switches off.
Requirement:
  • The vehicle must be unlocked.

Do not get into the vehicle again during the refuelling process. Otherwise, electrostatic charge could build up again.

Observe the notes on operating fluids More.
