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 unleaded fuel that conforms to EN 228, or an equivalent specification.
The RON requirement is located in the fuel filler flap.

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

Topping up the windscreen washer system
WARNING Danger of burns from hot component parts in the engine compartment

Certain component parts in the engine compartment may be very hot, e.g. the engine, the radiator and parts of the exhaust system.  

Let the engine cool down and only touch the component parts described below:
WARNING Danger of burns when opening the bonnet

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.

Before opening the bonnet, allow the engine to cool down.
In the event of a fire in the engine compartment, keep the engine bonnet closed and call the fire service.
WARNING ‑ Risk of fire and injury due to windscreen washer concentrate

Windscreen washer concentrate is highly flammable. It could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine component parts or the exhaust system.

Make sure that no windscreen washer concentrate spills out next to the filler opening.
Remove cap by the tab.
Top up the washer fluid.
Replacing the windscreen wiper blades (MAGIC VISION CONTROL)
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped if the windscreen wipers are switched on while wiper blades are being replaced

Always switch off the windscreen wipers and ignition before changing the wiper blades.
Moving the wiper arms to a vertical position
Switch on the power supply.
Set the windscreen wipers to the slow continuous wiping position on the combination switch.
As soon as the wiper arms are vertical relative to the bonnet, switch off the power supply.
Removing the wiper blades
To bring the wiper blade into position to be removed:
raise the wiper arm away from the windscreen and hold it with one hand. With the other hand, turn the wiper blade in the direction of arrow beyond the point of resistance.

The wiper blade engages in the removal position with a click.

Maintenance display

The maintenance display is only available for standard windscreen wipers.

Remove protective film of the maintenance display on the tip of the newly fitted wiper blades.

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.

Checking the engine oil level using the oil dipstick
WARNING Danger of burns from hot component parts in the engine compartment

Certain component parts in the engine compartment may be very hot, e.g. the engine, the radiator and parts of the exhaust system.  

Let the engine cool down and only touch the component parts described below:

Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may be installed in the engine compartment in different locations.

Waiting time before checking the oil level:
  • engine at normal operating temperature: five minutes.

Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Pull oil dipstick out and wipe off.
Slowly slide oil dipstick into the guide tube to the stop, and pull it out again after approximately three seconds.
  • 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 .

If the oil level is too low, top up with 1 l of engine oil.
If the engine oil level is too high, have the excess engine oil removed immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.
Information on washing the vehicle in a car wash
WARNING Risk of an accident due to reduced braking power after washing the vehicle

Braking efficiency is reduced after washing the vehicle.

After the vehicle has been washed, brake carefully while paying attention to the traffic conditions until braking power has been fully restored.
To avoid damage to your vehicle when using a car wash, ensure the following beforehand:
  • 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.
