Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐
ment and functions which are not installed in
your vehicle, for example on account of the op‐
tional equipment selected or the country variant.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions and
systems. Please comply with the relevant laws
and regulations when using the corresponding
functions and systems.
Fuel quality
General
Depending on the region, many filling stations
sell fuel that is adapted to winter or summer con‐
ditions. Fuel that is sold in winter helps with cold
starting, for example.
Petrol
General
For optimal fuel consumption, the petrol should
be sulphurfree or have a low sulphur content.
Fuels labelled on the pump as containing metal
must not be used.
You can fill up with fuels with a maximum ethanol
content of 25 %, for example E10 or E25.
The engine has knock control. This means that
different petrol grades can be used.
Safety notes
NOTE
Even small quantities of the wrong fuel or
wrong fuel additives can damage the fuel sys‐
tem and engine. In addition, the catalytic con‐
verter will be permanently damaged. There is a
risk of material damage. Do not use the
following fuel or additives with petrol engines:
▷ Leaded petrol.
▷ Metallic additives, for example manganese
or iron.
After filling with the wrong fuel, do not press
the start/stop button. Contact a Service Partner
of the manufacturer or another qualified Service
Partner or a specialist workshop.
NOTE
Incorrect fuels can damage the fuel system and
engine. There is a risk of material damage. Do
not refuel with fuel with a higher ethanol con‐
tent than recommended. Do not refuel with fuel
containing methanol, for example M5 to M100.
NOTE
Fuel below the specified minimum quality can
adversely affect engine function or lead to en‐
gine damage. There is a risk of material dam‐
age. Do not refuel with petrol below the speci‐
fied minimum quality.
Petrol grade
The engine is designed to run on petrol to DIN
EN 228.
