Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the
model series. Therefore equipment which is not
installed in your vehicle, for example on account
of the optional equipment selected or the coun‐
try specification, may also be described here.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions and
systems. Comply with the relevant laws and reg‐
ulations when using the corresponding functions
and systems.
Fuel quality
General
Depending on the region, many filling stations
sell fuel that is adapted to winter or summer con‐
ditions. Fuel that is sold in winter facilitates cold
starting, for example.
Petrol
General
For optimal fuel consumption, the petrol should
be sulphur-free or low in sulphur content.
Fuels labelled on the pump as containing metal
must not be used.
You can fill up with fuels with a maximum propor‐
tion of ethanol of 10 %, in other words E10.
The engine has anti-knock control. This means
that different petrol grades can be used.
Safety notes
NOTE
Even small quantities of the wrong fuel or
wrong fuel additives can damage the fuel sys‐
tem and engine. In addition, the catalytic con‐
verter will be permanently damaged. There is a
danger of damage to property. Do not use the

NOTE

engine. There is a danger of damage to prop‐
erty. Do not refuel with fuel with a higher pro‐
portion of ethanol than recommended. Do not
refuel with fuel containing methanol, for exam‐
ple M5 to M100.

Fuel below the specified minimum quality can
impact the engine function or lead to engine
damage. There is a danger of damage to prop‐
erty. Do not refuel with petrol below the speci‐
fied minimum quality.
