Refuelling the vehicle
WARNING Risk of fire or explosion from fuel
Fuels are highly flammable.
Fire, naked flames, smoking and creation of sparks must be avoided.
Switch off the ignition and, if available, the stationary heater, before and while refuelling the vehicle.
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:
While the engine 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 petrol to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine
If you have accidentally refuelled with the wrong fuel:
do not switch the ignition on. Otherwise, fuel can enter the fuel system.
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.
NOTE Fuel may spray out when you remove the fuel pump nozzle
Only fill the fuel tank until the pump nozzle switches off.
Note Damage to painted surfaces due to fuel
Do not spill any fuel on painted surfaces.
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental damage due to improper handling of fuel
If fuels are handled improperly, they pose a danger to persons and the environment.
Do not allow fuels to run into the sewage system, the surface waters, the ground water or into the ground.
Requirements:
the vehicle is unlocked
the auxiliary heating is deactivated
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.

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

One of the following displays appears:
The current tyre pressure and tyre temperature of the individual wheels.
Instrument display with colour display
The current tyre pressure for each wheel.
Instrument display with black and white display
Tyre pressures will be displayed after a few minutes of driving: the teach-in process of the system is not yet complete. The tyre pressures are already being monitored.
The values displayed in the multifunction display may deviate from those of the tyre pressure gauge as they refer to sea level. At high altitudes, the tyre pressure values indicated by a pressure gauge are higher than those shown by the on-board computer. In this case, do not reduce the tyre pressures.

Filling up the windscreen washer system
WARNING Risk of burns from hot component parts in the engine compartment
Certain components in the engine compartment can be very hot, e.g. the engine, the radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
Allow the engine to cool down and only touch component parts described in the following.
If you have to carry out any work in the engine compartment, touch only the following components:
bonnet
engine oil filler opening cap
washer fluid reservoir cap
coolant expansion reservoir cap
WARNING Danger of burns when opening the bonnet
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.
Before opening the bonnet, allow the engine to cool down.
In the event of a fire in the engine compartment, keep the engine bonnet closed and call the fire service.
WARNING ‑ Risk of fire and injury due to windscreen washer concentrate
Windscreen washer concentrate is highly flammable. It could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine component parts or the exhaust system.
Make sure that no windscreen washer concentrate spills out next to the filler opening.
Topping up the washer fluid
Washer fluid reservoir (example)
Pre-mix the washer fluid in the correct mixing ratio in a container.

Requirements
The vehicle is level during the measuring process.
The bonnet is closed.
Depending on the driving profile, the oil level can be displayed only after a driving time of up to 30 minutes and only when the ignition is switched on.
You will see one of the following messages on the multifunction display:
Engine oil level Measuring now: measurement of the oil level not yet possible. Repeat the query after driving for a maximum of 30 minutes.
Engine oil level OK and the bar showing the oil level on the multifunction display is green and lies between "MIN" and "MAX": the oil level is OK.
Engine oil level Warm up the engine: warm up the engine to operating temperature.
Engine oil level Correct measurement only if vehicle is on level ground: park the vehicle on a level surface.
Engine oil level Add 1,0 l and the bar showing the oil level on the multifunction display is orange and lies below "MIN": add 1 l of engine oil.
Reduce engine oil level and the bar showing the oil level on the multifunction display is orange and lies above "MAX": drain off excess engine oil.
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
For engine oil level switch on ignition: switch on the ignition in order to check the engine oil level.
Engine oil level System inoperative: the sensor is defective or not connected. Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Engine oil level currently inoperative: close the bonnet.
Vehicles with cold oil level displays: the oil level is automatically displayed on the multifunction display after the vehicle has been non-operational for an extended period. If it is not possible to measure the engine oil level, a message to that effect will appear.
The result of the electronic measurement always takes precedence over other measurements.
Notes on washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash
WARNING Risk of an accident due to reduced braking power after washing the vehicle
Braking efficiency is reduced after washing the vehicle.
After the vehicle has been washed, brake carefully while paying attention to the traffic conditions until braking power has been fully restored.
Make sure that the automatic car wash is suitable for the size of the vehicle.
Before washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash, fold in the outside mirrors and remove any additional aerials. Otherwise, the outside mirrors, aerial or the vehicle itself could be damaged.
Make sure any additional aerials are refitted and that the outside mirrors are fully folded out again when you leave the automatic car wash.
To avoid damage to your vehicle, observe the following before using an automatic car wash:
the side windows and the sliding window are completely closed.
the blower for ventilation and heating is switched off.
the windscreen wiper switch is in position
.
If the vehicle is very dirty, wash off excess dirt before cleaning the vehicle in an automatic car wash.
Removing the wax from the windscreen and the wiper rubbers after washing the vehicle, will help avoid smearing and reduce wiper noise.
