Functionn of the 4MATIC

Refueling

Keep doors and windows closed during

the refueling process.

4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.

Together with ESP^®and 4ETS, 4MATIC improves

the traction of your vehicle whenever a driven

wheel spins due to insuꢀcient traction.

Refueeling the vehhicle

If you or other people come into contact with

fuel, observe the following:

WARNING Risk of ꢂre or explosion from

fuel

Immediately rinse fuel oꢁ your skin with

soap and water.

If you fail to adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can

neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override

the laws of physics. 4MATIC cannot take account

of road, weather and traꢀc conditions. 4MATIC is

only an aid. You are responsible especially for

maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in

front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time

and for staying in lane.

Fuels are highly ꢃammable.

Fire, open ꢃames, smoking and creating

sparks must be avoided.

If fuel comes into contact with your eyes,

immediately rinse them thoroughly with

clean water. Seek medical attention

immediately.

Before refueling, switch oꢁ the vehicle

and, if installed, the stationary heater,

and leave them switched oꢁ during refu-

eling.

If you swallow fuel, seek medical atten-

tion immediately. Do not induce vomit-

ing.

In wintry road conditions, the maximum eꢁect

of 4MATIC can be achieved only if you use

winter tires (M+S tires), with snow chains if

necessary.

WARNING Risk of injury from fuels

Change immediately out of clothing that

has come into contact with fuel.

Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to your

health.

WARNING Risk of ꢂre and explosion due

to electrostatic charge

Do not swallow fuel or let it come into

contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

Do not inhale fuel vapor.

Electrostatic charge can ignite fuel vapor.

Keep children away from fuel.

Driving and parking

146

Before you open the fuel ꢂller cap or

take hold of the pump nozzle, touch the

metallic vehicle body.

Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by

volume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100

NOTE Damage to the fuel system due to

overꢂlling the fuel tank

Gasoline with additives containing metal

Only ꢂll the fuel tank until the pump noz-

zle switches oꢁ.

To avoid creating another electrostatic

charge, do not get into the vehicle again

during the refueling process.

If you have accidentally refueled with the

wrong fuel:

If too much fuel has been added due, for

example, to a faulty ꢂlling pump:

Do not switch on the vehicle.

Consult a qualiꢂed specialist workshop.

NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Do not switch on the vehicle.

Consult a qualiꢂed specialist workshop.

Vehicles with a gasoline engine:

NOTE Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles

with a gasoline engine

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could

result in damage to the fuel system, the

engine and the emission control system.

NOTE Fuel may spray out when you

remove the fuel pump nozzle

If you have accidentally refueled with the

wrong fuel:

Only refuel with low-sulfur spark-ignition

engine fuel.

Only ꢂll the fuel tank until the pump noz-

zle switches oꢁ.

Do not switch on the vehicle. Otherwise

fuel can enter the engine.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol. Your

vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel.

Requirements:

The vehicle is unlocked.

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel

could result in damage to the fuel system

and the engine. The repair costs are high.

Never refuel with one of the following fuels:

Do not get into the vehicle again during the

refueling process. Otherwise, electrostatic

charge could build up again.

Diesel

Consult a qualiꢂed specialist workshop.

Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by

volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100

Have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained

completely.

Observe the notes on operating ꢃuids and fuel.
