Fuels are highly flammable.
Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to your health.
If you or other people come into contact with fuel, observe the following:
Electrostatic charge can ignite fuel vapour.
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.
diesel
regular petrol with an octane number lower than 91 RON
petrol with more than 10% ethanol by volume, e.g. E15, E20, E85, E100
petrol with more than 3% methanol by volume, e.g. M15, M30
petrol with additives containing metal
If you have accidentally refuelled with the wrong fuel:
do not switch the ignition on. 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.
The vehicle is 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 and fuel.
The recommended octane number for your vehicle can be found on the information label in the fuel filler flap.
Close the fuel filler flap before locking the vehicle.

Certain components in the engine compartment can 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 arms will move into the replacement position.
When the colour of the maintenance display changes from black to yellow, the wiper blades should be replaced.
The duration until the colour changes varies depending on the usage conditions.
The engine has been warmed up.
The vehicle is parked on a level surface.
The engine is running at idle speed.
The engine oil level is determined during driving. Determining the engine oil level can take up to 30 minutes with a normal driving style and even longer with an active driving style.
Engine oil level Measuring now: measurement of the oil level is not yet possible.
Engine oil level OK and the bar display for indicating the oil level on the multifunction display is green and is between "min" and "max": the oil level is correct.
Engine oil level Add 1,0 l and the bar display for indicating the oil level on the multifunction display is orange and is below "min":
Reduce engine oil level and the bar display for indicating the oil level on the multifunction display is orange and is above "max":
For engine oil level turn on ignition
Engine oil level System inoperative: The oil level sensor is defective or not connected.
Engine oil level System currently unavail.
Braking efficiency is reduced after washing the vehicle.

To avoid damage to the vehicle, deactivate these systems in the following or similar situations:
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is deactivated.
The HOLD function is switched off.
the 360° Camera or the reversing camera is switched off.
the extendable rear wing is completely retracted.
the side windows and sliding sunroof are completely closed.
the blower for the ventilation/heating is switched off.
the windscreen wiper switch is in position .
the key is at a minimum distance of 3 m away from the vehicle, otherwise the tailgate could open unintentionally.
in car washes with a conveyor system: neutral is engaged.
In car washes with a conveyor system: if you would like to leave the vehicle while it is being washed, make sure the key is located in the vehicle. The park position is otherwise automatically engaged.
If, after the car wash, you remove the wax from the windscreen and wiper rubbers, this will prevent smearing and reduce wiper noise.
