WARNING
Driving with insufficient fuel reserve could re-

and a serious accident.
●
If the fuel level is too low then the fuel sup-
ply to the engine can become irregular espe-
cially on slopes.
●
If the engine “is choked” or stalls due to
lack of or irregularity of the fuel supply, the
power steering as well as all of the driver as-
sistance systems including braking assis-
tance will stop working.
●
Always refuel when there is only one quar-
ter of the fuel tank left to avoid running out of
fuel.
CAUTION
●
Alwa
ys pay attention to any lit control
lamps and to the corresponding descriptions
and instructions to avoid damage to the vehi-
cle.
●
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An
irregular fuel supply may lead to ignition
faults and unburnt fuel could enter the ex-
haust system. This could damage the catalyt-
ic converter filter or the diesel particulate fil-
ter!
