tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. The respectively applicable country provi‐
sions must be observed when using the respec‐
tive features and systems.
Fuel recommendation General information Depending on the region, many gas stations
sell fuel that has been customized to winter or
summer conditions. Fuel that is available in
winter helps make a cold start easier, for exam‐
ple.

tions can be of low quality. This may cause en‐
gine problems, e.g., poor engine start-up be‐
havior, poor handling and/or poor
performance. There is a risk of damage to
property. In case of engine problems, switch
gas stations or use a brand name fuel with a
higher octane rating. ◀

be sulfur-free or very low in sulfur content.Fuels that are marked on the gas pump as con‐
taining metal must not be used.

25 %, i. e. E10 or E25, may be used for refuel‐
ing.
