The fuel filler flap is unlocked/locked automatically when you unlock/lock the vehicle with the key.
The location of fuel filler flap is displayed in the instrument cluster. The arrow next to the fuel pump indicates on which side of the vehicle it is located.
Fuels are highly inflammable.
Fuels are poisonous and harmful to your health
If you or other people come into contact with fuel, observe the following:
Electrostatic charge can cause sparks and thereby ignite fuel vapours.
This discharges any electrostatic charge that may have built up.
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.
Fuel that does not conform to the required quality can lead to increased wear as well as damage to the engine and exhaust system.
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.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to 10 % ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel.

Marine diesel
Heating oil
Bio-diesel
Vegetable oil
Paraffin
Kerosene
If you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel:
Do not switch on the ignition. Otherwise fuel can enter the engine.
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system and the engine. The repair costs are high.

unlock the vehicle.
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.
Vehicles with a diesel engine: the filler neck is designed for refuelling at diesel filling pumps.
Vehicles with a diesel engine: when the fuel tank is completely empty, refuel with at least 5 l of diesel.
Vehicles with a diesel engine: use a filler neck with a large diameter for vehicles with a diesel engine when topping up fuel from a fuel can. Otherwise the filler neck cannot slide into the tank.

Refill AdBlue No start in XXX km . You can only drive the vehicle over the distance shown. Top up AdBlue® as soon as possible.
Refill AdBlue Start not possible. The vehicle can no longer be started.
The filling process stops when the AdBlue® tank is completely full.
AdBlue® refill canister can be removed when it has been only partially emptied.
Avoid storing AdBlue® refill containers permanently in the vehicle.
Certain component parts in the engine compartment may be very hot, e.g. the engine, the radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
If you open the engine bonnet when the engine has overheated or during a fire in the engine compartment, you could come into contact with hot gases or other escaping operating fluids.
Windscreen washer concentrate is highly flammable. It could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine component parts or the exhaust system.
If the windscreen wipers begin to move while you are changing the wiper blades, you can be trapped by the wiper arm.
The wiper blade engages in the removal position with a click.
The wiper blade engages with a noticeable click and moves freely again.
If the windscreen wipers begin to move while you are changing the wiper blades, you can be trapped by the wiper arm.
The maintenance display is only available for standard windscreen wipers.
If the colour of the maintenance display changes from black to yellow, the wiper blades should be replaced.
The duration of the colour change varies depending on the usage conditions.
Certain component parts in the engine compartment may be very hot, e.g. the engine, the radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may be installed in the engine compartment in different locations.
engine at normal operating temperature: five minutes.
Oil level is correct: oil level is between and .
Oil level too low: oil level is at or below.
Oil level too high: oil level is above .
Braking efficiency is reduced after washing the vehicle.
To avoid possible water ingress in the vehicle, it is preferable to use car washes which allow the high-pressure pre-wash to be deactivated (specification for the Cabrio programme).
It is imperative to avoid a subsequent hot-wax treatment.
Remove the key in order to ensure that the draught stop on the front windscreen retracts.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and the HOLD function are deactivated.
The 360° camera or the reversing camera is switched off.
The side windows and soft top are closed completely.
The blower for the ventilation/heating is switched off.
The windscreen wiper switch is in position .
In car washes with a towing mechanism: neutral is engaged.
The key is at a distance of at least 3 m away from the vehicle, otherwise the boot lid could open unintentionally.
If, after the car wash, you remove the wax from the windscreen and wiper rubber, this will prevent smearing and reduce wiper noise.
