Important safety notes
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous.
It burns violently and can cause serious
personal injury.
Never allow sparks, flames or smoking
materials near gasoline.
Turn off the engine before refueling.
Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid
inhaling fumes and any skin or clothing
contact.
Direct skin contact with fuels and the
inhalation of fuel vapors are damaging to your
health.
WARNING
Overfilling of the fuel tank may create
pressure in the system which could cause a
gas discharge. This could cause the gasoline
to spray back out when removing the fuel
pump nozzle, which could cause personal
injury.
WARNING
C 300 and C 300 Sport with automatic
transmission:
Flexible fuel vehicle (with Ethanol up to
E85! sticker on the fuel filler flap):
Ethanol fuel (E85) and its vapors are highly
flammable, poisonous and fast burning.
Ethanol fuel can cause serious injury if ignited,
or if you come into contact with it or inhale its
vapors. Avoid inhaling ethanol vapors. Avoid
skin contact with ethanol. Extinguish any
naked flames before refueling. Never allow
sparks or smoking materials near ethanol.
Do not use diesel to refuel
vehicles with a
gasoline engine. Even small amounts of the
wrong fuel result in damage to the fuel
system and engine.
Do not switch on the ignition if
you
accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel.
Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel lines.
Notify a qualified specialist workshop and
have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained
completely.
