Refuelling
Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional 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 spe‐
cial equipment selected or the country specifica‐
tion. 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 the fuel
grade.
At least 10 litres, 3 gal of fuel should be refuelled
so as to guarantee all engine functions even in
unfavourable situations such as a very steep ve‐
hicle inclination.
When refuelling, insert the filler nozzle fully into
the filler neck. Lifting the filler nozzle during refu‐
elling results in the following:
▷ The supply of fuel is stopped too soon.
▷ Fuel vapour recovery is less effective.
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.
For further information:
Fuel quality, see page 396.
Safety notes
WARNING
If no sufficient safety distance is maintained
from inflammable materials, filling up and
charging at the same time can lead to a danger
of fire. There is a risk of injury or material dam‐
age. Do not fill up and charge the vehicle at the
same time.
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 risk of material damage. Refuel in
good time.
NOTE
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive substan‐
ces. Overfilling the fuel tank can damage the
fuel system. If fuel comes into contact with
paintwork, it can damage it. The environment is
polluted. There is a risk of material damage.
Avoid overfilling.
Tank aeration
Principle
The vehicle is equipped with a special fuel tank.
The fuel tank is designed for special require‐
ments arising from hybrid operation of the vehi‐
cle, in other words, alternating drive with internal
combustion engine or electric motor.
