Refueling the vehicle

If you or other people come into contact with

fuel, observe the following:

Operating status of the engine

Traffic situation

Immediately rinse fuel off your skin with

soap and water.

WARNING Risk of fire or explosion from

fuel

If fuel comes into contact with your

Function of 4MATIC

Fuels are highly flammable.

eyes, immediately rinse them thor‐

oughly with clean water. Seek medical

attention immediately.

4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven

when needed. Together with ESP^®and 4ETS,

4MATIC improves the traction of your vehicle

whenever a driven wheel spins due to insuffi‐

cient traction.

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

neither reduce the risk of an accident nor over‐

ride the laws of physics. 4MATIC cannot take

account of road, weather and traffic conditions.

4MATIC is only an aid. You are responsible espe‐

cially for maintaining a safe distance from the

vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in

good time and for staying in lane.

Fire, open flames, smoking and creation

of sparks must be avoided.

If you swallow fuel, seek medical atten‐

Switch off the ignition and, if available,

the stationary heater, before and while

refueling the vehicle.

Change immediately out of clothing that

has come into contact with fuel.

WARNING Risk of injury from fuels

Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to your

health.

WARNING Risk of fire and explosion due

to electrostatic charge

Do not swallow fuel or let it come into

contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

Electrostatic charge can create sparks and

thereby ignite fuel vapors.

Do not inhale fuel vapor.

% In wintry road conditions, the maximum

effect of 4MATIC can be achieved only if you

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

chains if necessary.

Keep children away from fuel.

Keep doors and windows closed during

the refueling process.

Driving and parking 173

Before you open the fuel filler cap or

take hold of the pump nozzle, touch the

metallic vehicle body.

This discharges any electrostatic charge

that may have built up.

Do not get into the vehicle again during

the refueling process.

Otherwise, electrostatic charge can

build up again.

Never refuel using any of the following fuels:

Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

Have the fuel tank and fuel lines

drained completely.

Diesel

Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by

volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100

NOTE Damage to the fuel system caused

by overfilled fuel tanks

Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by

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

Gasoline with additives containing metal

Only fill the fuel tank until the pump

nozzle switches off.

If you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel:

Do not switch the ignition on.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

NOTE Fuel may spray out when you

remove the fuel pump nozzle

NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Vehicles with a gasoline engine:

Only fill the fuel tank until the pump

nozzle switches off.

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could

result in damage to the fuel system, the

engine and the emission control system.

NOTE Do not use diesel to refuel vehi‐

cles with a gasoline engine

Requirements

If you have accidentally refueled with the

wrong fuel:

The RON requirement is located in the

fuel filler flap.

Plug-in-hybrid: for vehicles with a gasoline

engine, observe the notes in the Supplement.

Otherwise, you may fail to recognize dangers.

Do not switch the ignition on. 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.

Only refuel with low-sulfur unleaded

fuel.

The vehicle is unlocked (/ page 66).

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol. Your

vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel.

% Do not get into the vehicle again during the

refueling process. Otherwise, electrostatic

charge could build up again.
