Warning
Simultaneous charging and refueling poses a
risk of fire if a sufficient safety distance from
easily flammable materials is not maintained.
There is a risk of injury or risk of damage to
property. Do not fill the vehicle with fuel and
charge it simultaneously.
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the
selected options or country versions. This also
applies to safety-related functions and systems.
When using these functions and systems, the
applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐
served.
Tank vent
General information
Concept
The vehicle is equipped with a special fuel tank.
The fuel tank is designed for special require‐
ments that arise from hybrid operation of the ve‐
hicle, i.e., alternating drive with combustion en‐
gine or electric motor.
Follow the fuel recommendation, refer to
page 204, prior to refueling.
To also ensure all engine functions under unfav‐
orable conditions, for instance steep vehicle incli‐
nations, at least 3 US gal/10 liters fuel should be
refueled.
General information
Do not refuel unless the engine is at a standstill
and the selector lever is in position P/N, other‐
wise the buildup of pressure may cause the fuel
nozzle to shut off prematurely.
Excess pressure may build up in the fuel tank as
a result of gasoline vapors; this pressure is dissi‐
pated before the fuel cap is opened.
Overview
Safety information
NOTICE

sured anymore. There is a risk of damage to

door armrest.
