Preheating fuel
The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter preheating system. This secures opera-
tion of a vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temperature of
-24 °C.
Diesel fuel additives
The diesel fuel in accordance with the prescribed standards meets all the con-
ditions for a smooth running engine. We therefore recommend that no diesel
fuel additives are used. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the
engine or the exhaust system.
CAUTION
■
Just filling the tank once with diesel fuel that does not comply with the
standard, can cause severe damage to parts of the engine, the fuel and ex-
haust system.
■
If a different fuel other than diesel fuel, which complies to the above men-
tioned standards (e.g. petrol) is used, do not start the engine or switch on the
ignition! Extensive damage to engine parts can occur.
■
Water which has collected in the fuel filter can cause engine faults.
CAUTION
■
The vehicle cannot be operated with bio fuel RME , therefore this fuel must
not be filled in the tank and used for driving the vehicle. The use of biofuel
RME can cause considerable damage to parts of the engine or fuel system.
■
Do not mix any fuel additives, so-called “flow improvers” (petrol and similar
agents) into the diesel. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the
engine or the exhaust system.
Refuelling with CNG (compressed natural gas)
Fig. 201 Natural gas filler tubes
Read and observe and on page 189 first.
Natural gas refuelling can be carried out if the following conditions are met.
The vehicle is unlocked.
The engine and the ignition are switched off.
The auxiliary heating and ventilation is switched off
» page 118 .
The gas filler tube for refuelling with natural gas is located behind the fuel fill-
er flap next to the petrol filler tube.
The filling couplings of the natural gas refuelling systems may differ in han-
dling. When refuelling with natural gas at unfamiliar refuelling systems, you
should seek help from trained fuel station staff. If unsure, have the refuelling
done by trained fuel station staff.

The fuel tank is full when the compressor of the refuelling system automati-
cally switches off. To stop the refuelling operation prematurely, press the
“Stop ” button of the refuelling system.
Closing the filler cap

Check that sealing ring

tube.
If sealing ring

has slipped onto the filling coupling, reinsert it into the gas
filler tube.

Close the bonnet.
The natural gas refuelling systems have an overfill protection relating to the
outdoor temperature. At very high outside temperatures, it may happen that
the gas tank may not be fully refuelled.
The natural gas system of your vehicle is suitable both for “slow fuelling” (fuel-
ling from small compressors) and for “quick fuelling” (fuelling from natural gas
stations with large compressors).
If the vehicle is parked for a longer period of time immediately after refuelling,
the situation may arise in which the pointer of the fuel tank gauge does not
indicate exactly the same level as was the case immediately after refuelling
