vehicle or the electrical installation at

the customer's site.

Further charging status indicators are

located on the control box of the basic

domestic cable (mode 2) / enhanced

domestic cable (mode 2).

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Do not use fuel or fuel additives

that contain metallic compounds

such as manganese-based

additives. This may cause engine

damage.

Charging cable 3 188.

Programmable charging 3 193.

Caution

Only use unleaded fuel that complies

with European standard EN 228 or

E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.

The engine is capable of running with

fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol

(e.g. named E10).

Use of fuel with a lower octane

rating than the lowest possible

rating could lead to uncontrolled

combustion and engine damage.

The engine specific requirements

regarding octane rating are given in

the engine data overview 3 247. A

country-specific label at the fuel filler

flap can supersede the requirement.

In certain countries, the use of a

particular fuel, e.g. a specific octane

rating, may be required to ensure

proper engine operation.

Use fuel with the recommended

octane rating. A lower octane rating

can reduce engine power and torque

and slightly increases fuel

consumption.

Notice

The only petrol additives authorised

for use are those that meet the

B715001 standard.

Low temperature operation

At temperatures below 0 °C, some

diesel products with biodiesel blends

may clog, freeze or gel, which may

affect the fuel supply system. Starting

and engine operation may not work

properly. At ambient temperatures

below 0 °C, use winter grade diesel

fuel.

The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting

standard EN16709 is possible in your
