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:
While the engine is running, component parts in the exhaust system may overheat without warning.
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
regular petrol with an octane number lower than 91 RON
petrol with more than 10% ethanol by volume, e.g. E15, E20, E85, E100
petrol with more than 3% methanol by volume, e.g. M15, M30
petrol with additives containing metal
If you have accidentally refuelled 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.
In countries without sulphur-free diesel fuel, refuel using only low-sulphur diesel fuel with a sulphur content less than 50 ppm.
petrol
marine diesel
heating oil
pure bio-diesel fuel or vegetable oil
paraffin or kerosene
If you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel:
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.
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.
The vehicle is 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 and fuel.
The recommended octane number for your vehicle can be found on the information label in the fuel filler flap.
Vehicles with a diesel engine: when the fuel tank is completely empty, top up with at least 5 litres of diesel.
Close the fuel filler flap before locking the vehicle.

Refill AdBlue See Owner’s ManualThe AdBlue® level has fallen below the reserve range. Top up AdBlue® immediately.
Top up AdBlue Emergency op. in XXX miles See Owner's ManualThe low AdBlue® level will lead to limited performance after the remaining distance displayed has been driven. Top up AdBlue® immediately.
XX,X l Top up AdBlue Emer. op.: max. XXX km/h Start not poss. in XXX km The low AdBlue® level will lead to limited performance from the speed displayed. After the remaining distance displayed has been covered, it will no longer be possible to start the engine. Top up with at least the amount of AdBlue® displayed.
XX,X l Top up AdBlue Switch on ignition, wait 60 sec. or eng. start not poss.The AdBlue® tank is empty. You can no longer start the engine. Top up with at least the amount of AdBlue® displayed. Switch on the ignition and wait for approximately 60 seconds. Start the engine.
You can see the AdBlue® range and level in the Service menu in the multifunction display.
The AdBlue® range shown depends strongly on the driving style and operating conditions. The actual range can therefore deviate from the calculated range.
You can also store the AdBlue® filler cap in the fuel filler cap holder in the fuel filler flap hinge arm.
The filling process stops when the AdBlue® tank is completely full.
AdBlue® refill canister can be removed when it has been only partially emptied.
If the vehicle could not be started as the AdBlue® tank was empty, it can take up to 60 seconds for the refill to be detected.
Avoid storing AdBlue® refill containers permanently in the vehicle.
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.
Certain components in the engine compartment can be very hot, e.g. the engine, the radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
Components in the engine compartment may continue running or start up suddenly, even if the ignition is switched off.
Make sure of the following before performing tasks in the engine compartment:
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.
The wiper arms will move into the replacement position.
The wiper blade will engage in the removal position with a click.
The wiper blade will engage with a noticeable click and move freely again.
The wiper arms will move into the original position.
If the windscreen wipers begin to move while you are changing the wiper blades, you can be trapped by the wiper arm.
The wiper arms will move into the replacement position.
The wiper arms will move into the original position.
The maintenance display is available only with standard windscreen wipers.
When the colour of the maintenance display changes from black to yellow, the wiper blades should be replaced.
The duration until the colour changes varies depending on the usage conditions.
the engine has been warmed up.
the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
The engine is running at idle speed.
The engine oil level is determined during driving. Determining the engine oil level can take up to 30 minutes with a normal driving style and even longer with an active driving style.
Engine oil level Measuring now: measurement of the oil level is not yet possible.
Engine oil level OK and the bar display for indicating the oil level on the multifunction display is green and is between "min" and "max": the oil level is correct.
Engine oil level Add 1,0 l and the bar display for indicating the oil level on the multifunction display is orange and is below "min":
Reduce engine oil level and the bar display for indicating the oil level on the multifunction display is orange and is above "max":
For engine oil level turn on ignition
Engine oil level System inoperative: The oil level sensor is defective or not connected.

To avoid damage to the vehicle, deactivate these systems in the following or similar situations:
to avoid possible water ingress in the vehicle, it is preferable to use car washes which allow the high-pressure pre-cleaning to be deactivated (specification for the cabriolet program).
avoid any hot-wax treatment.
remove the key in order to ensure that the wind deflector on the windscreen retracts.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is deactivated.
the HOLD function is switched off.
the 360° Camera or the reversing camera is switched off.
the side windows and soft top are closed completely.
the blower for the ventilation/heating is switched off.
the windscreen wiper switch is in position .
the key is at a minimum distance of 3 m away from the vehicle. Otherwise the boot lid could open unintentionally.
in car washes with a conveyor system: neutral is engaged.
In car washes with a conveyor system: if you leave the vehicle while it is being washed, make sure the key is located in the vehicle. The park position is otherwise automatically engaged.
If, after the car wash, you remove the wax from the windscreen and wiper rubbers, this will prevent smearing and reduce wiper noise.
