NOTICE
Using fuel that does not comply with these standards and is not approved may reduce performance and cause
damage to the engine and fuel system.
● Before refuelling, check whether the fuel identification specified on the pump meets the vehicle's requirements.
● In order to avoid damage to the fuel system and engine failure, always refuel only with fuels in accordance with
the specified standard and labelling.
Diesel
Always refuel diesel with a low sulphur content or with sulphur-free diesel in order to avoid damage to the engine
and particulate filter.
For vehicles with a diesel engine, fill only with pure diesel or diesel with a maximum biodiesel content of 7%→
.
If you use diesel with a high sulphur content, the service intervals are shorter. Qualified workshops can provide
information on countries that use diesel with a high sulphur content.
The fuel quality affects the running properties, performance and service life of the engine. Refuel with fuel that
already contains suitable additives →
.
Winter-grade diesel fuel and filter preheater system
During the winter season, you have to use diesel with improved flow characteristics under cold conditions(winter
diesel). You can avoid operational faults by refuelling winter diesel. Winter diesel is offered at filling stations during
the winter season.
There may be different classes of cold depending on the climate and time in the national fuel standards.
Diesel vehicles are equipped with a filter preheater system. The cold flow characteristic of the diesel is ensured while
driving by the filter pre-heating function. Information on the cold properties of diesel is provided by the filling
stations in the respective country and any other qualified workshop.
In order to ensure that the vehicle can also be started at low outside temperatures, it should be parked in a location
that is sheltered from the weather, e.g. in a garage.
WARNING
Incorrect refuelling can lead to fire, serious injuries and vehicle damage.
● Before refuelling, check whether the fuel standard specified on the pump meets the vehicle's requirements.
● Do not refuel with pure RME fuel, petrol, fuel oil or other unsuitable fuels.
● Use only additives that have been approved by the manufacturer in the approved quantity.
At cold temperatures, louder noises may occur in the diesel engine and the exhaust gas may be tinged
blue.
