WARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of
pure diesel fuel. When the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heat unnoticed. There is a risk of fire.
Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to
diesel fuel.
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel may cause
damage to the fuel system, engine and emission
control system.
! Refuel only with commercially available
vehicle diesel fuel that conforms to the Euro-
pean standard EN 590 (or equivalent national
fuel standards).
! Vehicles with diesel particle filters: in
countries outside the EU, only use low sulphur
Euro diesel with a sulphur content of under
50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission control sys-
tem could be damaged.

Notes on low outside temperatures
Refuel your vehicle at the beginning of the win-
ter until the tank is as full as possible with winter
diesel.
Before switching to winter diesel, the fuel tank
must be as empty as possible. Keep the fuel
level low when refuelling the vehicle with winter
diesel for the first time, e.g. reserve level. The
next time you refuel the vehicle, the fuel tank
may be filled up to a normal level again.

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. When fuel is handled
improperly, there is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
Avoid fire, naked flames, smoking and the
creation of sparks. Make sure that fuels do
not come into contact with a hot exhaust sys-
tem. Before carrying out work on the fuel sys-
tem, switch off the ignition and the auxiliary
heater. Always wear protective gloves.
! If you are using drums or canisters to refuel
the vehicle, you should filter the fuel before
adding it.
This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel sys-
tem due to contaminated fuel.
