This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the

ment which is not installed in your vehicle, for ex‐

lected or the country variant. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and systems. Please
comply with the relevant laws and regulations
when using the corresponding functions and
systems.

Safety note
WARNING
NOTE
The retaining strap of the fuel tank cap may be‐
come trapped and crushed when turning the
cap to close it. It will then not be possible to
close the cap properly. Fuel or fuel vapours can
leak out. There is a danger of injury or damage
to property. Make sure that the retaining strap
does not get trapped and crushed when clos‐
ing the cap.
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive. Overfilling
the fuel tank can damage the fuel system. If
fuel comes into contact with paintwork, it can
damage it. This pollutes the environment.
There is a risk of material damage. Avoid over‐
filling.
1. Fit the tank cap and turn clockwise until it is
clearly heard to click into place.
2. Press on the fuel filler flap until it engages.
Emergency release
In certain situations, it may be necessary to un‐
lock the fuel filler flap manually, for example if
there is an electrical fault.
Have the fuel filler flap unlocked by a Service
Partner of the manufacturer or another qualified
Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
Notes when refuelling
General
When refuelling, insert the filler nozzle fully into
the filler neck. Lifting the filler nozzle during refu‐
elling results in the following:
▷ The supply of fuel is stopped too soon.
▷ Fuel vapour recovery is less effective.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle cuts out
for the first time.
Please comply with the safety regulations dis‐
played at filling stations.
