Get Driving and parking -> Refueling Guide for Mercedes CLA 4 Door Third Generation (2025-2026)

Road and trac conditions

You can end Glide mode by operating a steer-

ing wheel paddle shier (/ page 153).

Function of the 4MATIC

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 insucient traction.

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 trac 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.

In wintry driving conditions, the maximum

eect of 4MATIC can only be achieved if you

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

if necessary.

Refueling

Refueling the vehicle

WARNING Risk of re or explosion from

fuel

Fuels are highly ammable.

Fire, open ames, smoking and creating

sparks must be avoided.

Before refueling, switch o the vehicle

and, if installed, the stationary heater,

and leave them switched o during refu-

eling.

WARNING Risk of injury from fuels

Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to your

health.

Do not swallow fuel or let it come into

contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

Do not inhale fuel vapor.

Keep children away from fuel.

Keep doors and windows closed during

the refueling process.

If you or other people come into contact with

fuel, observe the following:

Immediately rinse fuel o your skin with

soap and water.

If fuel comes into contact with your eyes,

immediately rinse them thoroughly with

clean water. Seek medical attention

immediately.

If you swallow fuel, seek medical atten-

tion immediately. Do not induce vomit-

ing.

Change immediately out of clothing that

has come into contact with fuel.

WARNING Risk of re and explosion due

to electrostatic charge

Electrostatic charge can ignite fuel vapor.

Driving and parking

Before you open the fuel ller cap or

take hold of the pump nozzle, touch the

metallic vehicle body.

To avoid creating another electrostatic

charge, do not get into the vehicle again

during the refueling process.

NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

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.

Refuel only with low-sulfur spark-ignition

engine fuel.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol. Your

vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel.

Never refuel with one of the following fuels:

Diesel

Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by

volume (e.g. E15, E85, E100)

Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by

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

Gasoline with metallic additives

If you have accidentally refueled with the

wrong fuel:

Do not switch on the vehicle.

Consult a qualied specialist workshop.

NOTE Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles

with a gasoline engine

If you have accidentally refueled with the

wrong fuel:

Do not switch on the vehicle. Otherwise

fuel can enter the engine.

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel

could result in damage to the fuel system

and the engine. The repair costs are high.

Consult a qualied specialist workshop.

Have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained

completely.

NOTE Damage to the fuel system due to

overlling the fuel tank

Only ll the fuel tank until the pump noz-

zle switches o.

If too much fuel has been added due, for

example, to a faulty lling pump:

Do not switch on the vehicle.

Consult a qualied specialist workshop.

NOTE Fuel may spray out when you

remove the fuel pump nozzle

Only ll the fuel tank until the pump noz-

zle switches o.

Requirements

The vehicle is unlocked.

Observe the notes on service uids and fuel.

Only refuel with fuel that has at least the octane

number specied on the information label on the

fuel ller ap. Otherwise, engine output may be

reduced and fuel consumption increased.
