system
Important safety notes
G
DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or adequate
ventilation is not possible, poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) may enter the
vehicle. This is the case, for example in
enclosed spaces or if the vehicle gets stuck
in snow. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Switch the auxiliary heating off in enclosed
spaces without extraction systems, e.g. in
garages. If the vehicle is stuck in snow and
you have to leave the auxiliary heating
running, keep the exhaust pipe and the area
around the vehicle free of snow. To ensure an
adequate supply of fresh air, open a window
on the side of the vehicle that is not facing
into the wind. G
WARNING
When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
parts of the vehicle can become very hot, e.g.
the exhaust system. If flammable materials
such as leaves, grass or twigs remain in
contact with hot parts of the exhaust system
for a prolonged period, they could ignite.
There is a risk of fire.
When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
make sure that no flammable material can
come into contact with hot vehicle
components.
! Switch on the auxiliary heating system at
least once a month for approximately
10 minutes. The auxiliary heating could
otherwise be damaged.
! Make sure that the flow of hot air is not
blocked. The auxiliary heating will
otherwise overheat and switch off.
Your vehicle may be equipped with either an
auxiliary hot-water heater or an auxiliary
warm-air heater. Adjustment and operation of
the:
R hot-water auxiliary heater is done via the
on-board computer and with the auxiliary
heating button in the control panel
(Y page 119) or with the remote control
(Y page 121).
R auxiliary warm-air heater is done via the
timer above the overhead control panel
(Y page 122). 118

Important safety notes H
Environmental note
Dispose of DEF in an environmentally
responsible manner.
! Only use DEF in accordance with
ISO 22241. Never mix DEF with additives or thin it with tap water. The exhaust gas
aftertreatmen
tmay otherwise be
damaged.
Observe the MB Specifications for Service
Products, Sheet 352.0.
Damage that results from the use of
additives or tap wate rleads to the loss of
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
! If DEF comes into contact with a painted
or aluminum surface, wash the surface off
immediately with plenty of water.
! DEFi s not a diesel additive and must not
be mixed with fuel in the tank. Even small
amounts of DEF can cause engine damage.
Damage that results from the blending of
DEF will not be covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
The exhaust gas aftertreatmentr equires a
reducing agent, Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), in
order to function correctly.
When opening the DEF tank filler cap at high
outside temperatures, ammonia vapors may
escape.
Ammonia vapors have a pungent smell and
primarily cause irritation of the:
R skin
R mucous membranes
R eyes
You may experience a burning sensation in
your eyes, nose and throat, as well as
coughing and watering of the eyes.
Do not inhale ammonia vapors. Avoid contact
with DEF.
Do not allow DEF to come intod irectcontact
with your skin; it is hazardous to your health.
Rinse any affected areas off with plenty of
clean water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
i If the DEFr eserve has fallen below the
reserve range, add at least 2.0 US gal
(7.6 l) of DEF at the latest after receiving
the second warning message
(Y page 178). Refueling
143Driving and parking Z

i
If you switch off the engine at a low
outside temperature and add DEF, restart
the engine after refueling. If you leave the
vehicle parked withou trestarting the
engin eand the DEF freeze sin the DEF tank,
the on-board compute rwill only be able to
register the new fill level after a defrosting
period of up to 60 minutes. During this
time, you may not be able to start the
engine.
You will find further information on DE Finthe
"Service products" section (Y page 317).
