and ESP is only achieved if you drive with correct tire
pressures and adjust tire pressures to correspond with
the vehicle’s load. In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the ABS and the ESP is only achieved
with winter tires (M+S tires), or snow chains as
required.

172 STARTING AND OPERATING
REFUELINGThe fuel filler neck (1) is located behind the fuel filler
flap next to the driver’s door. The fuel filler flap can be
opened when the driver’s door is open. Turn the fuel
filler cap (2) on the fuel filler neck (1) counterclockwise
and take it off. For cargo/passenger vans, place the
fuel filler cap (2) in the holder on the inside of the fuel
filler flap.
When you have finished refueling, install the fuel filler
cap (2).
WARNING!
Under no circumstances should gasoline be mixed
with diesel fuel.
Due to the high pressure and high temperature in
the injection system, there is a risk of fire and
explosion.
In addition, there is a risk of engine damage.
Always follow basic safety rules when working
with any combustible material.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 189
6
3. Everyone must leave the vehicle before you jack it
up.
4. Everyone must leave the danger zone, before
jacking the vehicle.
5. The vehicle must be safeguarded in accordance
with legal regulations (such as using a warning
triangle).
6. Prevent vehicle from rolling away by blocking
wheels with wheel chocks (not supplied with
vehicle) or sizable wood block or stone.
On a level road, place one chock in front of and one
behind the wheel that is diagonally opposite to the
wheel being changed.
When changing a wheel on mild uphill or downhill
grades, place chocks on the downhill side blocking
both wheels of the other axle.
Spare Wheel Location
WARNING!
Do not change wheels on either steep uphill or
downhill grades. The vehicle may begin to move
and fall from the jack which could cause personal
injury and property damage.
WARNING!
If the rear cargo doors are opened to 90° (detent
position), the rear lights will be concealed. The ve-
hicle is then not sufficiently safeguarded at the
rear and may only be seen by other road users
when they are close to the vehicle. This could lead
to an accident.
The vehicle must then be clearly marked in
accordance with state and local laws, e.g., with a
warning triangle.
