78Instruments and controlsFuel gauge
Displays the fuel level or gas level in
the tank depending on the operation
mode.
During natural gas operation, the
system automatically switches over to
petrol operation when the gas tanks
are empty 3 78.
Fuel selector 3 136.
Control indicator $ illuminates if the
level in the tank is low.
Note
The symbol k beside Y indicates
that the fuel filler flap is located on
the left side of the vehicle.
Never run the tank dry.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity.
The needle will point to 0 and control
indicator $ will flash to indicate a fault
in the system. Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Low fuel control indicator $ 3 89.
CNG fuel gauge
In natural gas operation mode, the
four vertical bars next to CNG
correspond to the methane level in
the cylinders. As the fuel level
diminishes, the bars in the CNG fuel
gauge disappear.
CNG and the one remaining bar will
flash if the methane level in the
cylinders is low.
Refuelling 3 136.
Fuel selector
Pressing Y in the centre console
switches between petrol and natural
gas operation. The LED 1 status
shows the current operating mode.
Instruments and controls791 off:natural gas
operation1 illuminates:petrol operation
As soon as the natural gas tanks are
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged. Control
indicator Y illuminates in the Driver
Information Centre 3 91 until the
ignition is switched off.
When switching automatically
between petrol or gas operation, a
brief delay of engine tractive power
may be noticeable.
Every six months run the petrol tank
down until control indicator §
illuminates and then refuel. This is
necessary to maintain fuel quality as
well as system function necessary for
petrol operation.
Fill the tank completely at regular
intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank.

vehicles with Multifunction version of the Driver Information Centre 3 91.
When the ignition is switched on, the remaining distance before the next
service is due may be shown briefly.
98Instruments and controls● average consumption
● instantaneous consumption
● average speed
● travel time (driving time)
Multifunction version
Two trip odometers, Trip A and Trip
B, are available for selection and are
recorded separately.
The information of the two trip
computers can be reset separately,
making it possible to display different
trip distances.
Trip A ● range
● distance travelled
● average consumption
● instantaneous consumption
● average speed
● travel time (driving time)
Trip B ● distance travelled
● average consumption● average speed
● travel time (driving time)
Trip B can be deactivated via the
Driver Information Centre 3 91.
Reset trip computer information
To reset the trip computer, select one of its functions, then press and hold
TRIP for a few seconds.
The following trip computer
information will be reset:
● average consumption
● distance travelled
● average speed
● travel time (driving time)
A confirmation message appears in the display when the trip computer is
reset.
Note
The trip computer will reset
automatically when the maximum
value of any of the parameters is
exceeded.
Outside temperature
The temperature outside the vehicle
is displayed (depending on version).Outside temperature 3 73, 3 91.
Range The range is calculated from the
current contents of the fuel tank and
the average consumption since the
last reset.
When the range is less than 50 km,
_ _ _ _ will appear in the display.
After refuelling, the range is updated
automatically after a brief delay.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Note
The range will not be displayed if the
vehicle is left parked with the engine
running for a long time.
Distance travelled
Displays the distance driven since the last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.

Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there may be a controlled
reduction in power steering assist and
vehicle speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 117.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver's side.
Driving downhill
Engage a gear when driving downhill to ensure that sufficient brake
pressure is available.
136Driving and operatingLow temperature operation
At temperatures below 0° C, some diesel products with biodiesel blends
may clog, freeze or gel, which may
affect the fuel supply system. Starting
and engine operation may not work
properly. Make sure to fill winter
grade diesel fuel at ambient
temperatures below 0°C.
Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used
in extreme cold temperatures below
-20° C. Using this fuel grade in warm
or hot climates is not recommended
and may cause engine stalling, poor starting or damage on the fuel
injection system.
Fuel for natural gasoperation
Use natural gas with a methane
content of approx. 78 - 99%. L-gas
(low) has approx. 78 - 87% and H-gas (high) has approx. 87 - 99%. Biogas
with the same methane content can
also be used if it has been chemically
prepared and desulphurised.
Only use natural gas or biogas that complies with DIN 51624.Liquid gas or LPG must not be used.
Refuelling
Fuel filler flap is located at left rear
side of vehicle.9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers. 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.
Release the fuel filler flap by pulling
the flap by hand.
Insert ignition key into fuel filler cap
and turn anticlockwise to unlock.
To remove fuel filler cap, rotate
anticlockwise.
Caution
To avoid damage, do not attempt
to operate the sliding side door
when the fuel filler flap is open.
Note
Depending on model, the sliding
side door may be fitted with a safety system that prevents the door from
being opened fully when the fuel
filler flap is open.
Sliding side door 3 26.
Driving and operating137
The fuel filler cap can be retained in
the bracket on the fuel filler flap.
To refuel, fully insert the pump nozzle
and switch it on.
After automatic cut-off, the tank can be topped up by operating the pump
nozzle a maximum of two more times.
Caution
Wipe off any overflowing fuel
immediately.
To close, replace fuel filler cap and
turn clockwise.
Insert ignition key into fuel filler cap
and turn clockwise to lock, then
remove key.
Close the fuel filler flap.
Natural gas refuelling
Open the fuel filler flap.
9 Warning
Refuel only with a maximum
output pressure of 250 bar. Use
only temperature compensated
filling stations.
The refuelling procedure must be
completed, i.e. the filler neck must be vented.
The capacity of the natural gas tank
depends on outside temperature,
filling pressure and type of refuelling
system.
Close the fuel filler flap after
refuelling.
