■
Petrol with a lower Octane count than 91 should not even be used in an
emergency!
■
If a fuel other than unleaded fuel which complies to the above mentioned
standards (e.g. leaded petrol) is put in the tank by mistake, do not start the en-
gine or switch on the ignition.
CAUTION
Petrol additives (additives)
■
The unleaded petrol in accordance with the prescribed standards meets all
the conditions for a smooth running engine. Therefore, we recommend that
you do not add any fuel additives to the petrol - there is a risk of engine dam-
age or damage to the exhaust system.
■
The following additives and auxiliary products may not be used - there is a
risk of engine damage or damage to the exhaust system!
■
Additives with metal components (metallic additives), in particular with
manganese and iron content.
■
Fuels with metallic content (e.g. LRP - lead replacement petrol).
Note
■
Unleaded petrol that has a higher octane number than that required by the
engine can be used without limitations.
■
The use of petrol with an octane rating higher than 95 RON in does not result
in either a noticeable increase in power nor lower fuel consumption in vehicles
for which unleaded petrol 95/min 92 or 93 RON is specified.
■
On vehicles using prescribed petrol of min. 95 RON, the use of petrol with a
higher octane number than 95 RON can increase the power and reduce fuel
consumption.
Diesel fuel
Read and observe and on page 270 first.
The correct fuel for the vehicle is specified on the inside of the fuel filler flap
» Fig. 318 on page 270.
The vehicle can only be operated with diesel fuel that complies with the Euro-
pean standard EN 590 (in Germany also DIN 51628, in Austria ÖNORM C 1590,
in Russia GOST R 52368-2005/EN 590: 2004, in India IS 1460/Bharat IV or in
an emergency IS 1460/Bharat III).
The diesel fuel may contain maximum 7% biodiesel (B7 - In Germany in ac-
cordance with DIN 52638, in Austria ÖNORM C 1590, in France EN 590).
Operating under different weather conditions
Use only diesel in accordance with the current or expected weather condi-
tions. Ask the petrol station personnel whether the diesel fuel offered corre-
sponds to these conditions.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of en-
gine damage and damage to the exhaust system.
■
If a different fuel other than diesel fuel, which complies to the above men-
tioned standards (e.g. petrol) is put into the tank, do not start the engine or
switch on the ignition!
■
The biofuel RME must not be used!
CAUTION
Diesel fuel additives
■
The diesel fuel in accordance with the prescribed standards meets all the
conditions for a smooth running engine. Therefore, we recommend that you
do not add any fuel additives to the diesel - - there is a risk of engine damage
or damage to the exhaust system.
AdBlue
®
and its refilling
Introduction
In order to reduce pollutant emissions from vehicles with diesel engines and
the SCR catalyst, a urea - AdBlue
®
solution is injected into the exhaust system.
Only use AdBlue
®
that corresponds to ISO 22241-1 standard. Do not add addi-
tives to AdBlue
®
.
The AdBlue
®
-consumption depends on driving style, the operating tempera-
ture of the system and on the weather conditions.
The AdBlue
®
-tank filling is about 18 litres.
WARNING
AdBlue
®
can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. If your eyes or skin
come into contact with the AdBlue
®
fluid, immediately wash the affected
area with water. Seek medical assistance if required.
