vapours. Keep fuels out of the reach of chil-
dren.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
R Wash the fuel off any affected areas of skin
with water and soap immediately.
R If you get fuel in your eyes, rinse them thor-
oughly with clean water immediately. Seek
immediate medical attention.
R If fuel is swallowed, seek immediate medi-
cal attention. Do not induce vomiting.
R Change any clothing that has come into
contact with fuel immediately. G
WARNING
Electrostatic charge can cause sparks and
thereby ignite fuel vapours. There is a risk of
fire and explosion.
Always touch the vehicle body before opening the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel pump
nozzle. This discharges any electrostatic
charge that may have built up.
Do not get into the vehicle again during the
refuelling process. Otherwise, electrostatic
charge could build up again. G
WARNING
Vehicles with a diesel engine:
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of pure diesel fuel. When the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heat unnoticed. There is a risk of fire.
Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to
diesel fuel.
! Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
petrol engine. Do not switch on the ignition if you accidentally refuel with the wrong
fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel
system. Even small amounts of the wrong
fuel can result in damage to the fuel system
and the engine. Notify a qualified specialist
workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel
lines drained completely. !
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a
diesel engine. Do not switch on the ignition if you accidentally refuel with the wrong
fuel. Otherwise, fuel can enter the fuel sys-tem. Even small amounts of the wrong fuel
could result in damage to the fuel system
and the engine. The repair costs are high.
Notify a qualified specialist workshop and
have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained
completely.
! Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the
fuel system.
! Take care not to spill any fuel on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
! Use a filter when adding fuel from a fuel
can. The fuel lines and/or the diesel injec-
tion system could otherwise be blocked by
particles from the fuel can.
If you overfill the fuel tank, some fuel may
spray out when you remove the fuel pump
nozzle.

nose and throat. You may also experience
coughing and watery eyes.
Do not inhale any ammonia vapours that may
be released. Only fill the AdBlue ®
tank in well-
ventilated areas.
Do not swallow AdBlue ®
or let it come into
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Keep
AdBlue ®
away from children.
If you or others come into contact with
AdBlue ®
, observe the following:
R immediately rinse AdBlue ®
off your skin
with soap and water.
R if AdBlue ®
comes into contact with your
eyes, immediately rinse them thoroughly
with clean water. Seek medical attention
immediately.
R if AdBlue ®
is swallowed, immediately rinse
your mouth out thoroughly. Drink plenty of
water. Seek medical attention immedi-
ately.
R change immediately out of clothing that
has come into contact with AdBlue ®
.
! Only use AdBlue ®
in accordance with
ISO 22241. Do not mix any additives with
AdBlue ®
, and do not dilute AdBlue ®
with
water. This may destroy the BlueTEC
exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
! In order to fill the AdBlue ®
tank, the vehi-
cle must be parked on a level surface. The
AdBlue ®
tank can only be filled as intended
with the vehicle parked on a level surface.
Fluctuations in capacity will thus be avoi-
ded. Filling a vehicle standing on an uneven
surface is not permitted. There is a danger of overfilling, which can cause damage to
BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment com-
ponents.
! Surfaces which have come into contact
with AdBlue ®
while refilling should be
rinsed immediately with water, or remove
AdBlue ®
with a moist cloth and cold water.
If AdBlue ®
has already crystallised, use a
sponge and cold water to clean the area. AdBlue
®
residue crystallises after a certain
amount of time and soils the affected sur-
faces.
! AdBlue ®
is not a fuel additive and must
not be added to the fuel tank. If AdBlue ®
is
added to the fuel tank, this can lead to
engine damage.
Have the AdBlue ®
tank refilled at a qualified
specialist workshop. However, you can also
top up the AdBlue ®
tank:
R at a filling station with an AdBlue ®
filling
pump
R with AdBlue ®
refill bottles
R with an AdBlue ®
refill canister
When the pump nozzle switches off automat-
ically during filling at a filling pump, the
AdBlue ®
tank has been completely filled. Do
not fill the AdBlue ®
tank any further. AdBlue ®
may leak out.
To avoid transporting already opened refill
containers in the vehicle, completely empty
refill bottles or canisters when filling the
AdBlue ®
tank, if possible.
