The instrument cluster gives the driver basic information such as the current
speed, engine speed, the state of some vehicle systems and the like.
WARNINGConcentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for road safety.
Note
Appears in the display then the system indicates that the ignition is
switched on.OverviewFig. 18

The fuel tank has a capacity of about 35 litres.

iant 1 on or it flashes the symbol in the display variant 2 for 10 seconds
to-
gether with the remaining segments of the display. There are now about 4 li-
tres of fuel remaining in the tank.
An audible signal sounds as a warning.

WARNINGIn order for the vehicle systems to function properly and thus to make driv-
ing safe, there must be sufficient fuel in the tank. Never drive until the fuel
tank is completely empty - there is a risk of accidents!
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.

nute.
The beginning of the red scale range of the tachometer indicates the maxi-
mum permitted engine speed of a driven-in and operating warm engine.

Petrol RefuellingFig. 103
Opening the fuel filler flap / unscrewing the tank cap / placing
the tank cap on the fuel filler flap
Read and observe
and on page 102 first.
Refuelling is only possible if the following condition is fulfilled. The engine and the ignition are switched off.
›
Open out the fuel filler flap in the direction of arrow
1
» Fig. 103 .
›
Hold the fuel tank cap firmly and unlock with the key counter-clockwise.
›
Unscrew the tank cap in the direction of the arrow
2
.
›
Remove the tank cap and place on top of the fuel filler flap in direction of ar-
row
3
.
›
Insert the pump nozzle into the fuel filler tube as far as it will go.
The fuel tank is full just as soon as the pump nozzle switches off for the first
time »
.
›
Remove the pump nozzle from the fuel filler tube and put it back in the
pump.
›
Screw in the tank cap in the opposite direction to the arrow
2
until it audi-
bly locks into place.
›
Hold the fuel cap hold firmly, lock with the key clockwise and remove the
key.
›
Close the fuel filler flap.
Check that the fuel filler flap is closed properly.
WARNINGInstructions for filling the reserve canister■Never fill the reserve can inside the vehicle.■
Never place the reserve can on the vehicle.
■
Always place the reserve can on the floor.
■
We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehicle for safe-
ty reasons. in the event of an accident, these canisters can become dam-
aged and fuel may escape – risk of fire!
CAUTION
■ The fuel tank is full just as soon as the pump nozzle switches off for the first
time, provided the nozzle has been operated properly. Not continue refuelling.■
Be careful when filling diesel fuel from the spare canister and then do this
slowly and cautiously – danger of contaminating the body.
Note
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 35 litres, including a reserve of approx.
4 litres .
Lead-free petrol
The correct fuel grades for your vehicle are specified on the inside of the fuel
filler flap.
Read and observe
and on page 102 first.
The vehicle can only be operated with unleaded petrol that meets the EN 2281)
standard.
All petrol engines can be operated using petrol that contains at most 10% bio-
ethanol (E10).
Unleaded petrol min. 95 RON / ROZ
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 95 RON or higher.
In an emergency petrol with the octane ratings 91, 92 and/or 93 RON can also
be used, but may result in a slight loss in performance and slightly increased
fuel consumption. Continue driving at medium engine speeds and minimum
engine load »
.
Refuel using petrol of the prescribed octane number as soon as possible.
1)
In Germany, DIN 51626-1 or E10 for unleaded gasoline with octane number 95 and 91.
103Inspecting and replenishing

›Plug the cap A onto the gas filler tube.›Close the bonnet.
The natural gas refuelling systems have an overfill protection relating to the
outdoor temperature. At very high outside temperatures, it may happen that
the gas tank may not be fully refuelled.
The natural gas system of your vehicle is suitable both for “slow fuelling” (fuel-
ling from small compressors) and for “quick fuelling” (fuelling from natural gas
stations with large compressors).
If the vehicle is parked for a longer period of time immediately after refuelling,
the situation may arise in which the pointer of the fuel tank gauge does not
indicate exactly the same level as was the case immediately after refuelling
when the engine is restarted. This is not due to any system leakages but a
drop in pressure in the natural gas fuel tank due to technical reasons after a
cooling phase directly after refuelling.
The maximum lifetime of the gas tank is 20 years.
The capacity of the natural gas fuel tank is about 11 litres, of which about 1.5
litres are in reserve.
The capacity of the gasoline fuel tank is about 10 litres, of which about 5 litres
are in reserve.WARNING■ When refuelling, never get into the vehicle. If you have to get into your
vehicle in exceptional cases, touch a metal surface before you touch the
filling coupling again. This will avoid electrostatic discharges, which may
generate sparks. Sparks can cause a fire during refuelling.■
Natural gas is highly explosive and highly flammable.
Note
During the filling process sounds are heard which are harmless. If you are un-
sure which service station staff to use, ask the petrol station staff.CNGFig. 105
Position of the CNG label(s).
Read and observe
and on page 102 first.
A G-TEC-vehicle may be operated with CNG and petrol.
In some countries, national legislation requires that vehicles with CNG opera- tion be identified by one of the labels » Fig. 105.
Position of the CNG label » Fig. 105.
Natural gas quality and consumption
Depending on the natural gas supplier, the natural gas quality (heating value) may vary. The engine system adjusts automatically to the natural gas quality.
Automatically switching over from natural gas mode to petrol mode
The vehicle automatically switches from natural gas to petrol, for example, if one of the following cases occurs.
▶ With an empty gas tank or not enough pressure in the tank.
▶ After refuelling with natural gas.
▶ At very low surrounding temperatures.
Use up all the petrol in the fuel tank once every six months until the warning
light illuminates and then refill with petrol. This is to ensure that the fuel
system functions correctly and to preserve the quality of the fuel.
Gas smell
If you smell gas proceed as follows. ▶ Stop the vehicle.
▶ Put out cigarettes.
▶ Switch off the ignition.
▶ Open doors and the boot lid to ventilate the vehicle sufficiently.
