WARNING
Observe all relevant statutory regulations on
trans
porting spare fuel canisters. For safety
reasons, we do not recommend carrying a
spar
e canister in the vehicle. The canister
could be damaged in an accident and fuel
may leak. Risk of fire!
CAUTION
●
Sw
itc
h off the auxiliary heater (heater and
independent heater) before filling the tank.
●
The fuel tank is full as soon as the automat-
ic filler nozzle cuts out. Do not continue fill-
ing, as this will fill the expansion chamber.
●
Never completely empty the tank! An irreg-
ular fuel supply can cause ignition faults,
which can result in damage to a substantial
amount of engine parts and the exhaust sys-
tem.
●
If any fuel is spilt onto the paintwork of the
vehicle, it should be removed immediately.
Risk of damage to paintwork!
Note
There is no emergency mechanism for the
manual
release of the fuel tank flap. If neces-
sary, request assistance from specialised per-
sonnel.
Note
The fuel tank capacity is around 55 litres, of
which 7 litre
s are the reserve.
Types of petrol
The correct grade of petrol is listed inside the
fuel t
ank flap.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic con-
verter and must only be run on unleaded pet-
rol. The petrol must comply with European
Standard EN 228 or German standard DIN
51626-1 and must be unleaded. You can re-
fuel with a maximum ethanol proportion of
10 % (E10). The types of petrol are differenti-
ated by their octane rating (RON).
The following titles appear on the corre-
sponding adhesive on the fuel tank flap:
Super unleaded 95 octane or normal 91 oc-
tane unleaded petrol
We recommend you use super 95 octane pet-
rol. If this is not available: normal 91 octane
petrol, with a slight decrease in power.
Super unleaded petrol with a minimum of 95
octanes
You should use super petrol with a minimum
of 95 octanes.
If super is not available, in an emergency you
may refuel with normal 91 octane petrol. In
this case only use moderate engine speeds
and a light throttle. Refuel with super as soon
as possible.
