The fuel filler flap is unlocked/locked automatically when you unlock/lock the vehicle with the key.
The location of fuel filler flap is displayed in the instrument cluster. The arrow next to the filling pump indicates the side of the vehicle.
Fuels are highly inflammable.
Fuels are poisonous and harmful to your health
If you or other people come into contact with fuel, observe the following:
Electrostatic charge can cause sparks and thereby ignite fuel vapours.
This discharges any electrostatic charge that may have built up.
Vehicles with a diesel engine:
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash point of the fuel mixture is lower than that of pure diesel fuel.
While the engine is running, component parts in the exhaust system may overheat without warning.
Fuel that does not conform to the required quality can lead to increased wear as well as damage to the engine and exhaust system.
Vehicles with a petrol engine:
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to 10 % ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel.
Diesel
E85, E100
Petrol containing methanol (M15, M30, M85, M100)
Petrol with additives containing metal
If you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel:
Vehicles with a diesel engine:
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system.
Petrol
Marine diesel
Heating oil
Bio-diesel
Vegetable oil
Paraffin
Kerosene
The vehicle must be unlocked.
Do not get into the vehicle again during the refuelling process. Otherwise, electrostatic charge could build up again.
Observe the notes on operating fluids More.
The filler neck is designed for refuelling at diesel filling pumps.
When the fuel tank is completely empty, refuel with at least 5 litres of diesel.
The spelling may differ in the main menu displayed. Therefore, observe the menu overview for the instrument display More.

If you open the supply system, you could be scalded if hot AdBlue®/DEF sprays out.
If AdBlue® is swallowed:
Refill AdBlue See Owner's Manual. The AdBlue® tank supply is down to the reserve level of 1 gal (4 litres).
Refill AdBlue No start in XXX mi . You can still drive the vehicle over the distance shown. Top up AdBlue® as soon as possible.
Refill AdBlue Start not possible. The vehicle can no longer be started.
The vehicle must be unlocked.
The filling process stops when the AdBlue® tank is completely full.
AdBlue® refill canister can be removed when it has been only partially emptied.
The display message disappears in the instrument cluster.
Do not carry the AdBlue® refill canister in the vehicle permanently.
Certain component parts in the engine compartment may be very hot, e.g. the engine, the radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
If you open the engine bonnet when the engine has overheated or during a fire in the engine compartment, you could come into contact with hot gases or other escaping operating fluids.
Windscreen washer concentrate is highly flammable. It could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine component parts or the exhaust system.
If the windscreen wipers begin to move while you are changing the wiper blades, you can be trapped by the wiper arm.
If the colour of the maintenance display changes from black to yellow, the wiper blades should be replaced.
The duration of the colour change varies depending on the usage conditions.
Certain component parts in the engine compartment may be very hot, e.g. the engine, the radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may be installed in the engine compartment in different locations.
Engine at normal operating temperature: five minutes.
Engine not at normal operating temperature (e.g. the engine was only started briefly): 30 minutes.
Oil level is correct: oil level is between and .
Oil level too low: oil level is at or below.
Braking efficiency is reduced after washing the vehicle.
Distance Pilot DISTRONIC and the HOLD function are switched off.
The 360° Camera or the reversing camera is switched off.
The side windows and sliding sunroof are completely closed.
The blower for the ventilation/heating is switched off.
The windscreen wiper switch is in position 0.
In car washes with a towing mechanism: neutral is engaged.
The key is at a distance of at least 10 ft (3 m) away from the vehicle, otherwise the boot lid could open unintentionally.
If, after the car wash, you remove the wax from the windscreen and wiper rubber, this will prevent smearing and reduce wiper noise.
