Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐
ment and functions which are not installed in
your vehicle, for example on account of the op‐
tional equipment selected or the country specifi‐
cation. This also applies to safety-relevant func‐
tions and systems. Please comply with the
relevant laws and regulations when using the
corresponding functions and systems.
Notes when refuelling
General
Before refuelling, observe the notes on fuel qual‐
ity, see page
294 .
When refuelling, insert the filler nozzle fully into
the filler neck. Lifting the filler nozzle during refu‐
elling results in the following:
▷ The fuel supply being cut off prematurely.
▷ Fuel vapour and fumes being recovered less
effectively.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle cuts out
for the first time.
Please comply with the safety regulations dis‐
played at filling stations.
Safety notes
NOTE
If the range drops below 50 km, 30 miles, the
engine may no longer be supplied with suffi‐
cient fuel. Engine function is no longer ensured.
There is a danger of damage to property. Re‐
fuel in good time.
NOTE
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive. Overfilling
the fuel tank can damage the fuel system. If
fuel comes into contact with paintwork, it can
damage them. This pollutes the environment.
There is a danger of damage to property. Avoid
overfilling.
