226 Driving and operating
When the system does not seem
to work properly
The RVC system might not work
properly or display a clear image if:
 The RVC is turned off.
 It is dark.
 The sun or the beam of
headlamps is shining directly into
the camera lens.
 Ice, snow, mud, or anything else
builds up on the camera
lens.Clean the lens, rinse it with
water, and wipe it with a soft
cloth.
 The back of the vehicle is in an
accident. The position and
mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera can be
affected. Be sure to have the
camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your
dealer.
 There are extreme temperature
changes.
Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with DIN EN 228.
Equivalent standardised fuels with an
ethanol content of max. 10% by
volume may be used.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating. See Engine data on
page 310. Use of fuel with too low an
octane rating can reduce engine
power and torque and slightly
increases fuel consumption.
Fuel for diesel engines
Only use diesel fuel that complies
with DIN EN 590. The fuel must have
low sulphur content (max. 50 ppm).
Equivalent standardised fuels with a
biodiesel (= FAME according to
EN14214) content of max. 7% by
volume (like DIN 51628 or equivalent
standards) may be used.
Do not use marine diesel oils,
heating oils or entirely or partially
plant-based diesel fuels, such as
rape seed oil or bio diesel, aquazole
and similar diesel-water emulsions.
Diesel fuels must not be diluted with
fuels for petrol engines.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuel
are temperature-dependent. When
temperatures are low, refuel with
diesel fuel with guaranteed winter
properties.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled
combustion and engine damage.
