Safety information  
Vehicle features and options  
This chapter describes model-specific equip-  
ment, systems, and functions that are currently  
available, or may become available in the fu-  
ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.  
NOTICE  
With a range below 30 miles/50 km, the  
engine may no longer have sufficient fuel.  
Engine functions are not ensured anymore.  
There is a risk of property damage. Refuel  
promptly.  
Additional information:  
Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.  
Follow the following when  
refueling  
NOTICE  
Fuels are toxic and aggressive. Overfilling of  
the fuel tank can damage the fuel system.  
Painted surfaces may be damaged by con-  
tact with fuel. Escaping fuel can harm the  
environment. There is a risk of property dam-  
age. Avoid overfilling.  
General information  
Before refueling, note the recommended fuel.  
When refueling, hook the fuel pump nozzle  
completely into the filler pipe. Lifting the pump  
nozzle while refilling causes the diesel exhaust  
fluid to shut off prematurely and reduces fuel  
vapor recirculation.  
Fuel filler cap  
The fuel tank is full when the fuel pump nozzle  
clicks off the first time.  
General information  
If the fuel filler cap is not fitted correctly, the  
emissions indicator light illuminates on the in-  
strument cluster.  
Make sure that the fuel cap is closed properly  
after refueling, otherwise the emissions warn-  
ing light may illuminate.  
Follow safety regulations posted at the filling  
station.  
Additional information:  
Indicator/warning lights, refer to page 135.  
Additional information:  
Fuel quality, refer to page 365.

come pinched and crushed when the cap is

pors can escape. There is a risk of injury and  
risk of property damage. Make sure that the
