Practical tips
When the or contr
ol l
amp lights up
, the
auxiliary heater running and the supplemen-
tary heater automatically switch off.
WARNING
Driving with insufficient fuel reserve could
result in the vehicl
e breaking down in traffic
and a serious accident.
●
If the fuel level is too low then the fuel
supply to the engine can become irregular
especially 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
assistance systems including brake assis-
tance will stop working.
●
Always refuel when there is only one
quarter of the fuel tank left to avoid running
out of fuel.
CAUTION
●
Always pay att
ention to any lit control
lamps and to the corresponding descrip-
tions and instructions to avoid damage to
the vehicle.
●
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 cata-
lytic converter filter or the diesel particu-
late filter!

●
Do not continue t
o r
efuel if it is t
urned off!
Otherwise, this will fill the expansion chamber
and fuel may leak out if the ambient condi-
tions are warm.
WARNING
Do not continue refilling once the fuel noz-
zle has swit
ched itself off. The fuel tank
may be filled too much. As a result, fuel
may spurt out and spill. This could lead to a
fire, explosion and severe injuries.
CAUTION
●
Always r
emove any fuel spilled on the ve-
hicle paintwork immediately to avoid dam-
age to the wheel housing, the tyre and ve-
hicle paintwork.
For the sake of the environment
Spilt fuel can contaminate the environ-
ment.
