Fuel  
Fuel for petrol engines  
Charging status  
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).  
A charging fault has occured if the  
vehicle is plugged in and the charging  
status indicator is off.  
Further charging status indicators are  
located on the control box of the  
charging cable.  
Use fuel with the recommended  
octane rating. A lower octane rating  
can reduce engine power and torque  
and slightly increases fuel

Diesel fuel that meets standard  
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that  
meets standard EN14214 (possibly  
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid  
Methyl Ester).  
Fuel for diesel engines  
The diesel engines are compatible  
with bio-fuels that conform to current  
and future European standards and  
and can be obtained from filling  
stations:  
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 with a lower octane  
rating than the lowest possible  
rating could lead to uncontrolled  
combustion and engine damage.

7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).  
The engine specific requirements  
regarding octane rating are given in  
the engine data overview 3 310. 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.  
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting  
standard EN16709 is possible in your  
diesel engines. However, this use,  
even occasional, requires strict

application of the special servicing  
conditions referred to as "Arduous  
conditions".  
For more information, contact a  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used  
at extremely low temperatures below  
-20 °C. Using this fuel grade in warm  
or hot climates is not recommended  
and may cause engine stalling, poor  
starting or damage on the fuel  
injection system.  
Follow the operating and safety  
instructions of the filling station  
when refuelling.  
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.  
The use of any other type of (bio)  
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure  
or diluted, domestic fuel etc.) is  
strictly prohibited (risk of damage  
to the engine and fuel system).  
Refuelling  
Note  
A label with symbols at the fuel filler  
flap is indicating the allowed fuel  
types. In Europe the pump nozzles of  
the filling stations are marked with  
these symbols. Refuel only the  
allowed fuel type.  
The only diesel additives authorised  
for use are those that meet the  
B715000 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. Make sure to fill winter  
grade diesel fuel at ambient  
Caution  
9 Danger  
In case of misfuelling, do not  
switch on ignition.  
Before refuelling, switch off  
ignition and any external heaters  
with combustion chambers.

Petrol and diesel refuelling  
To open, turn the cap slowly  
anticlockwise.  
The fuel filler flap can only be opened  
if the vehicle is unlocked. Open the  
fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.  
Press r. After depressurisation the  
fuel filler flap is unlocked and bounces  
a bit.  
To open the fuel filler flap of a PHEV,  
a depressurisation phase is required  
to avoid the emission of fuel vapour.  
This can take up to one minute.  
The fuel filler cap can be attached to  
the hook on the fuel filler flap.  
Place the nozzle in straight position to  
the filler neck and press with slight  
force to insert.  
To refuel, switch on pump nozzle.  
After the automatic cut-off, the tank  
can be topped up by operating the  
pump nozzle a maximum of two more  
times.

Fuel filler cap  
Only use genuine fuel filler caps.  
Diesel-engined vehicles have special  
fuel filler caps.  
The specification of CO2 emission is  
also a constituent of the directive.  
The figures given must not be taken  
as a guarantee for the actual fuel  
consumption of a particular vehicle.  
Furthermore, fuel consumption is  
dependent on personal driving style  
as well as road and traffic conditions.

Emissions  
The fuel consumption (combined) is  
within a range of 6.6 to 1.2 l/100 km.  
All values are based on the EU base  
model with standard equipment.  
The CO2 emission is within a range of  
150 to 128 g/km.  
The calculation of fuel consumption  
takes into account the vehicle's kerb
