Refuelling
Fuels
 | Risk of injury |
|
Fuel is highly flammable. Therefore, fire, naked flames and smoking are prohibited when handling fuel.
Deactivate the auxiliary heating when refuelling to prevent fuel vapours from igniting on the auxiliary heating exhaust system.
Fuel is toxic and constitutes a health hazard. Therefore, you should make sure that:
-
fuel does not come into contact with skin, eyes or clothing
-
you do not inhale fuel vapours
-
children are kept away from fuel
If you or anyone else comes into contact with fuel:
-
wash eyes immediately with plenty of clean water if fuel comes into contact with the eyes and consult a doctor.
-
clean affected areas of skin with soap and water immediately.
-
change out of clothing which has come into contact with fuel immediately.
-
If fuel is swallowed, a doctor should be consulted immediately.

| Risk of fire |
|
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine. Never mix diesel with petrol. This causes damage to the fuel system and engine and could result in the vehicle catching fire.
|
 | |
|
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine. Even small amounts of petrol will cause damage to the injection system. Damage resulting from adding petrol is not covered by the warranty.
|
| |
|
Do not start the engine if you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel could enter the fuel lines. This would require draining of the fuel tank and fuel lines. Notify a qualified specialist workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.
|
 |
Switch off the engine and auxiliary heating before refuelling.
|
| |
|
If you are refuelling the vehicle from drums or canisters, filter the fuel before refuelling.
In this way you will avoid malfunctions in the fuel system caused by contaminated fuel.
|
| |
|
Do not add fuel additives to the diesel fuel/FAME fuel (bio-diesel fuel).
|
| |
|
Observe the fuel grade.
|
You will find information about fuel in the "Service products" section more.
 | |
|
Check the fuel prefilter and the heated water separator regularly for condensation.
|
 | Environmental note |
|
Improper handling of fuels results in danger to persons and the environment. Do not allow fuels to run into the sewage system, surface/ground water or into the ground.
|
AdBlue
| Risk of injury |
|
Make sure that:
If you or anyone else comes into contact with AdBlue:
-
Wash eyes thoroughly with clean water if AdBlue comes into contact with the eyes and consult a doctor if necessary.
-
Clean affected areas of skin with soap and plenty of clean water immediately.
-
If AdBlue is swallowed, the affected person should rinse their mouth out with plenty of clean water and then drink plenty of water. Seek medical attention if necessary.
|
The level in the AdBlue tank is shown on the instrument panel more.
A special tank filler neck prevents the AdBlue reservoir from mistakenly being filled with diesel fuel or FAME fuel (bio-diesel fuel).
| Risk of injury |
|
If the AdBlue fuel filler cap is opened at high temperatures, ammonia vapours may escape. Ammonia vapours have a pungent odour and are particularly irritating to skin, mucous membranes and the eyes. Depending on the concentration and the length of time ammonia vapours are inhaled, effects may include a burning sensation in the eyes, nose and throat as well as irritation of the throat and watering eyes.
Do not inhale ammonia vapours.
|
| Environmental note |
|
AdBlue is biodegradable.
Improper handling of AdBlue results in danger to the environment. Do not allow large amounts of AdBlue to run into the sewage system, surface/ground water or into the ground.
