Driving and operating157The flow and filterability of diesel fuels
are temperature-dependent. When
temperatures are low, refuel with
diesel fuel with guaranteed winter
properties.
Diesel fuel filter 3 170, diesel fuel
system bleeding 3 170.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers.
Vehicles with stop-start system:
The engine must be switched off
and the ignition key removed, to avoid risk of engine being
restarted automatically by the
system.
Switch off any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Notice
To ensure the fuel level is displayed
correctly, the ignition must be
switched off before refuelling. Avoid
minor fuel top-ups (e.g. less than
five litres) to ensure accurate
readings.
The fuel filler flap is located on the left-
hand side of the vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked and the left- hand door is opened.
Notice
Do not open the left-hand sliding
side door during refuelling.
Pull flap to open.Caution
In vehicles with AdBlue, the
AdBlue protective cap is the blue
lower cap 3 137 , and the fuel filler
cap is the black upper cap
(arrowed in illustration).
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition. Seek the
assistance of a workshop
immediately.

filter housing. Loosen the knurled screw on the lower part of the filter by
approx. one turn, to drain off the
water.
The filter is drained as soon as water- free diesel fuel emerges. Retighten
the screw.
Check diesel fuel filter at shorter
intervals if the vehicle is subjected to
extreme operating conditions.
