Important safety notes
G
Risk of explosion
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames
and smoking are therefore prohibited when
handling fuels.
Switch off the engine before refuelling.
G
Risk of injury
Do not come into contact with fuels.
It is hazardous to your health if your skin
comes into direct contact with fuels or you
breathe in fuel vapours.

Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a
diesel engine. Do not use diesel to refuel
vehicles with a petrol engine. Even small
amounts of the wrong fuel result in damage
to the fuel system and the engine.

Notes on fuel consumption
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in
the following situations:
R
at very low temperatures
R
in urban traffic
R
on short trips
R
when towing a trailer
R
in mountainous terrain
i
Only for certain countries: the respective
current consumption and emission values
of your vehicle can be found in the COC
papers (EC CERTIFICATE OF CONFORM-
ITY). These documents are supplied when
the vehicle is delivered.
The consumption figures for vehicles up to
the EURO 4standard have been deter-
mined in accordance with EU Directive
80/1268/EEC while figures for vehicles
complying with the EURO 5standard or
higher have been determined in accord-
ance with Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007,
in each case based on the currently appli-
cable version. Deviations fromthese values
may occur under normal operating condi-
tions.
!
Do not use any fuel additives, as they can
cause malfunctions and engine damage.

Environmental note
CO
2
(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
tists believe to be principally responsible for
global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO
2
emissions are directly related to
fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
R
efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R
driving style
R
other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle's CO
2
emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
