Refuelling the vehicle
WARNING Risk of fire or explosion from fuel

Fuels are highly flammable.

Fire, naked flames, smoking and creating sparks must be avoided.
Before refuelling, switch off the vehicle and, if fitted, the stationary heater and keep switched off during filling.
WARNING Risk of injury from fuels

Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to your health.

Do not swallow fuel or let it come into contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Do not inhale fuel vapour.
Keep children away from fuel.
Keep doors and windows closed during the refuelling process.

If you or other people come into contact with fuel, observe the following:

Immediately rinse fuel off your skin with soap and water.
If fuel comes into contact with your eyes, immediately rinse them thoroughly with clean water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If you swallow fuel, seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
Change immediately out of clothing that has come into contact with fuel.
WARNING Risk of fire and explosion due to electrostatic charge

Electrostatic charge can ignite fuel vapour.

Before you open the fuel filler cap or take hold of the pump nozzle, touch the metallic vehicle body.
To avoid creating another electrostatic charge, do not get into the vehicle again during the refuelling process.
WARNING Risk of fire from fuel mixture

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 vehicle is running, component parts in the exhaust system may overheat without warning.

Never refuel using petrol.
Never mix petrol with diesel fuel.
NOTE Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a petrol engine
If you have accidentally refuelled with the wrong fuel:

  • Do not switch on the vehicle. 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.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.
NOTE Do not refuel diesel-engined vehicles with petrol
If you have accidentally refuelled with the wrong fuel:

  • Do not switch on the vehicle. 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.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.
NOTE Damage to the fuel system caused by overfilled fuel tanks
Only fill the fuel tank until the pump nozzle switches off.
Requirements:

  • The vehicle is unlocked and switched off.

  • The auxiliary heating is switched off.

  • The front left-hand door is open.

Do not get back into the vehicle during the refuelling process. You might build up an electrostatic charge again.

Observe the notes on operating fluids More.

Open fuel filler flap .
Turn fuel filler cap anti-clockwise and remove it.
Close all vehicle doors to prevent fuel vapours from entering the vehicle interior.
Completely slide the filler neck of the pump nozzle into the tank, hook in place and refuel.
Fill the fuel tank only until the pump nozzle switches off.
Replace fuel filler cap and turn it clockwise.

You will hear a click when the fuel filler cap is closed fully.

Open the front left-hand door.
Close fuel filler flap .

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. Switch on the vehicle three to four times before starting the vehicle.

Vehicles that can use a mixture of fuels can be recognised by the sticker "Ethanol up to E85!" on the fuel filler flap.
