Fuels are highly flammable.
Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to your health.
If you or other people come into contact with fuel, observe the following:
Electrostatic charge can ignite fuel vapour.
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.
do not switch the ignition on. Otherwise fuel can enter the engine.
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system and the engine. The repair costs are high.

The vehicle is unlocked.
The auxiliary heating is switched off.
The ignition is switched off.
The front left-hand door is open.
Do not get back into the vehicle during the refuelling process. Otherwise, electrostatic charge could build up again.
Observe the notes on operating fluids More.
You will hear a click when the fuel filler cap is closed fully.
Vehicles with a diesel engine and incorrect fuelling protector against refuelling with petrol: the filler neck is designed for refuelling at diesel filling pumps for passenger vehicles.
Vehicles with a diesel engine without an incorrect fuelling protector: refuelling preferred at diesel filling pumps for passenger vehicles. However, you can also refuel at a diesel filling pump for lorries.
If the fuel tank has been run completely dry, top up with at least 5 l of fuel. Before starting the engine again: switch on the ignition three or four times.
Vehicles that can use a mixture of fuels can be recognised by the sticker "Ethanol up to E85!" on the fuel filler flap.
