Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, e. g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This also applies to
safety-related functions and systems. When us‐
ing these functions and systems, the applicable
laws and regulations must be observed.
General information
Follow the fuel recommendation, refer to
page 210, prior to refueling.
To also ensure all engine functions under unfav‐
orable conditions, for instance steep vehicle incli‐
nations, at least 3 US gal/10 liters fuel should be
refueled.
Do not refuel unless the engine is at a standstill
and the selector lever is in position P/N, other‐
wise the buildup of pressure may cause the fuel
nozzle to shut off prematurely.
Safety information
NOTE
With a driving range of less than
30 miles/50 km the engine may no longer have
sufficient fuel. Engine functions are not en‐
sured anymore. There is a risk of damage to
property. Refuel promptly.
WARNING
If a sufficient safety distance from easily flam‐
mable materials is not maintained, simultane‐
ous charging and filling with fuel can cause a
risk of fire. There is a risk of injury or risk of
damage to property. Do not fill the vehicle with
fuel and charge it simultaneously.
Tank vent
Concept
The vehicle is equipped with a special fuel tank.
The fuel tank is designed for special require‐
ments that arise from hybrid operation of the ve‐
hicle, i.e., alternating drive with combustion en‐
gine or electric motor.
General information
In the fuel tank, excess pressure can build up
due to gasoline vapors which are dissipated be‐
fore the fuel cap is opened.
Overview
The button is located on the driver's side on the
door armrest.
Tank venting
1.
Switch off drive-ready state.
2. Press button to start the pressure
equalization.
The status of the tank venting is displayed in
the instrument cluster. In rare cases, the tank
venting can last several minutes.
