This chapter describes equipment, systems  
and functions which are offered or may be of-  
fered in future on a model-specific basis, even  
if they are not included in the vehicle in ques-  
tion.  
NOTICE  
If the range drops below 50 km, approx.  
30 miles, the engine may no longer be sup-  
plied with sufficient fuel. The engine functions  
are no longer ensured. There is a risk of ma-  
terial damage. Refuel in good time.

NOTICE  
Things to consider when  
refuelling  
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive sub-  
stances. Overfilling the fuel tank can damage  
the fuel system. If fuel comes into contact  
with paintwork, it can damage it. The envi-  
ronment is polluted. There is a risk of mate-  
rial damage. Avoid overfilling.  
General  
Before refuelling, take note of the fuel grade  
information.  
On vehicles with diesel engine, the fuel filler  
neck is designed for refuelling at diesel pumps.  
Fuel filler cap  
Safety information  
WARNING  
When topping up, hook the fuel pump noz-  
zle fully into the filler pipe. Lifting the fuel  
pump nozzle while topping up will cause the  
following to happen:  
The supply is stopped too soon.  
Fuel vapour recovery is less effective.  
The retaining strap of the fuel filler cap may  
become trapped and crushed when turning  
the cap to close it. As a result, the cap may  
not be closed properly. Fuel or fuel vapours  
can leak out. There is a danger of injury or  
material damage. Make sure that the retain-  
ing strap does not get trapped and crushed  
when closing the cap.  
The fuel tank is full when the fuel pump nozzle  
cuts out for the first time.  
Please comply with the safety regulations dis-  
played at filling stations.
