to the red zone on the scale; otherwise there
is a risk of engine damage. The start of the
red zone on the dial is different for some en

For
the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save
fuel and minimise engine noise.
Fuel gauge
The gauge

Fig. 3 only works when the ignition is switched
on.
When the gauge reaches the reserve zone, a
red LED will light up and the indicator lamp

will appear

35. The LED will flash in red
if the fuel Level is very Low.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section

© CAUTION
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is
an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can occur.
Unburnt fuel can then enter the exhaust sys
tem.
This can Lead to overheating and dam
age to the catalytic converter.

Gear-change indicator
Applies to: vehicles with gear-change indicator
This
additional indicator function can help to
save
fuel.
To familiarise yourself with the gear-change
indi
cator, drive in the normal way to start
with.
A
gear change will be recommended on the instru
ment cluster display if the
gear
you are in is not
the most economical choice. If no gear change is
recommended, you are already in the most eco
nomical gear.

Checking and topping up fluids
months so that you can continue to operate your
vehicle reliably. Ask at your filling station wheth
er the diesel fuel available there is suitable for
the current conditions and for the temperatures
which could potentially occur.
© CAUTION
- Never use FAME fuels (biodiesel), petrol,
heating oil, thinners or any other fuels or
additives, as these could cause serious dam
age to the fuel system and the engine.
- Never start the engine if
you
fill up with the
wrong type of
fuel,
as this could damage
the fuel system and the engine. Obtain pro
fessional assistance.

The fuel tank flap is unlocked and locked auto
matically by the central locking system.
Unscrewing the tank cap
•
Press the left side of the flap to open
it
-arrow
ed
Fig.
238.
•
Unscrew the tank cap anti-clockwise.
•
Hook the cap onto the open flap

Fig.
239.
Closing the tank cap
•
Screw on the tank cap clockwise until
it
clicks
audibly.
•
Close the tank flap. Make sure you hear
it
click
into place.
When the automatic filler nozzle is operated cor
rectly
it
will switch itself off
as
soon as the tank
is
fulL.
Do not try to put in more fuel after the
nozzle cuts out, as this will fill the expansion
chamber in the fuel tank.
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle is given on
a sticker on the inside of the tank flap. Further

A WARNING
Fuel is highly inflammable and can cause
seri
ous burns and other injuries.
- For safety reasons we do not recommend
carrying a spare fuel canister in the vehicle.
The canister could become damaged in an
accident and Leak.
- Observe all relevant statutory regulations
on using, storing and transporting spare
fuel canisters.
- When filling your tank or
a
spare fuel canis
ter with
fuel,
do not smoke and keep away
from naked flames
-
risk of explosion!
- If, in exceptional circumstances, you have
to
carry
a
spare fuel canister, please observe
the following warnings:
- Never
filL
fuel into the spare fuel canister
with the canister placed in or on top of the
vehicLe. An electrostatic charge could
build up during filling, causing the fuel va
pour to ignite
-
risk of explosion! Always
place the canister on the ground to fill
it.
- Insert the filler nozzle as far as possibLe
into the spare fuel canister.
-
If
the spare fuel canister is made of metal,
the filler nozzle must be in contact with
the canister during filling. This helps pre
vent an electrostatic charge building up.
