Refueling

Important safety notes

WARNING

Fuel is highly flammable. If you handle fuel

incorrectly, there is a risk of fire and explo-

sion.

You must avoid fire, open flames, creating

sparks and smoking. Switch off the engine

and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before

refueling.

WARNING

Fuel is poisonous and hazardous to health.

There is a risk of injury.

You must make sure that fuel does not come

into contact with your skin, eyes or clothing

and that it is not swallowed. Do not inhale fuel

vapors. Keep fuel away from children.

If you or others come into contact with fuel,

observe the following:

Wash away fuel from skin immediately

using soap and water.

If fuel comes into contact with your eyes,

immediately rinse them thoroughly with

clean water. Seek medical assistance with-

out delay.

If fuel is swallowed, seek medical assis-

tance without delay. Do not induce vomit-

ing.

Immediately change out of clothing which

has come into contact with fuel.

WARNING

Electrostatic buildup can create sparks and

ignite fuel vapors. There is a risk of fire and

explosion.

Always touch the vehicle body before opening

the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel pump

nozzle. Any existing electrostatic buildup is

thereby discharged.

Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a

gasoline engine. Do not switch on the igni-

tion if you accidentally refuel with the

wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter

the fuel system. Even small amounts of the

wrong fuel could result in damage to the

fuel system and the engine. Notify a quali-

fied specialist workshop and have the fuel

tank and fuel lines drained completely.

Driving and parking

Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the

fuel system.

Take care not to spill any fuel on painted

surfaces. You could otherwise damage the

paintwork.

Use a filter when refueling from a fuel can.

Otherwise, the fuel lines and/or injection

system could be blocked by particles from

the fuel can.

Do not get into the vehicle again during the

refueling process. Otherwise, electrostatic

charge could build up again.

If you overfill the fuel tank, fuel could spray

out when the fuel pump nozzle is removed.
