Driving and operating

Do not use marine diesel oils, heating

oils, Aquazole and similar diesel-

water emulsions. Diesel fuels must

not be diluted with fuels for petrol

engines.

Fuel

Caution

Fuel for petrol engines

Use of fuel that does not comply to

EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or

equivalent can lead to deposits or

engine damage.

Only use unleaded fuel that complies

with European standard EN 228 or

E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.

Fuel for liquid gas operation

The engine is capable of running with

fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol

(e.g. named E10).

Use fuel with the recommended

octane rating. The engine-specific

requirements are given in the engine

data overview 3 242. A country-

specific label at the fuel filler flap can

supersede the requirement.

Liquid gas is known as LPG

(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or under

its French name GPL (Gaz de Pétrole

Liquéfié). LPG is also known as

Autogas.

Caution

Use of fuel with too low an octane

rating could lead to uncontrolled

combustion and engine damage.

LPG consists mainly of propane and

butane. The octane rating is between

105 and 115, depending on the

butane proportion. LPG is stored

liquid at around five to ten bar

pressure.

The boiling point depends on the

pressure and mixing ratio. At ambient

pressure, it is between -42 °C (pure

propane) and -0.5 °C (pure butane).

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complies

with EN 590.

Caution

In countries outside the European

Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a

sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.

Do not use fuel or fuel additives

that contain metallic compounds

such as manganese-based

additives. This may cause engine

damage.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply to

EN 590 or similar can lead to

engine powerloss, increased wear

or engine damage.

Caution

The system works at an ambient

temperature of approx. -8 °C to

100 °C.

Full function of the LPG system can

only be guaranteed with liquid gas

which complies with the minimum

Faults and remedies

●

Is there enough liquid gas

present?

Pressing LPG switches between

petrol and liquid gas operation as

soon as the required parameters

(coolant temperature, gas

temperature and minimum engine

speed) have been reached. The

requirements are usually fulfilled after

approx. 60 seconds (depending on

exterior temperature) and the first firm

If the fuel tank is empty, the engine

will not start.

The selected fuel mode is stored and

reactivated at the next ignition cycle if

conditions allow.

●

Is there enough petrol present for

starting?

Due to extreme temperatures in

combination with the gas

composition, it may take slightly

longer before the system switches

from petrol to gas mode.

As soon as the liquid gas tanks are

empty, petrol operation is

automatically engaged until the

ignition is switched off.

In extreme situations, the system may

also switch back to petrol mode if the

minimum requirements are not

Driving and operating

fulfilled. If conditions allow, it might be

possible to manually switch back to

liquid gas operation.

Seek the assistance of a workshop in

the event of all other faults.

When using underground car parks,

follow the instructions of the operator

and local laws.

Follow the operating and safety

instructions of the filling station

when refuelling.

Notice

In the event of an accident, switch off

the ignition and lights.

9 Danger

Caution

Fuel is flammable and explosive.

No smoking. No naked flames or

sparks.

If you can smell fuel in your

vehicle, have the cause of this

remedied immediately by a

workshop.

Refuelling

Repairs and adjustments may only

be made by trained specialists in

order to maintain the safety and

warranty on the LPG system.

Liquid gas is given a particular odour

(odorised) so that any leaks can be

detected easily.

Caution

9 Warning

In case of misfuelling, do not

switch on ignition.

If you smell gas in the vehicle or in

the immediate vicinity, switch to

petrol mode immediately. No

smoking. No naked flames or

ignition sources.

Fuel filler flap is located at right rear

side of the vehicle.

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch off

ignition and any external heaters

with combustion chambers.

If the gas odour persists, do not start

the engine. Have the cause of the

fault remedied by a workshop.
