immediately. If AdBlue
®
has crystallized
already, use cold water and a sponge.
AdBlue ®
residues will crystallize and soil
the affected surfaces.
High ambient temperatures If AdBlue
®
in the reservoir heats up to above
122‡ (50†) for a long period of time, for
example due to direct sunlight, ammonia gas
vapors may escape when opening the
AdBlue ®
tank. G
Warning!
When opening the filler cap of the AdBlue ®
tank ammonia gas vapors may escape. Refill
AdBlue ®
in a well ventilated area only.
Ammonia
gas vapors have a pungent odor and
are particularly irritating for your skin,
mucous membranes, and eyes. Inhaling
ammonia gas vapors will cause burning eyes,
nose, and throat, as well as coughing and
watering eyes.
Low ambient temperatures AdBlue
®
freezes at a temperature of
approximately 12‡ (-11†). Your vehicle is
factory
equipped with an AdBlue ®
preheating
system. The vehicle can thus be operated at
temperatures below 12‡ (-11†).
Special additives !
Only use AdBlue ®
complying with
ISO 22241. Do not add additives to
AdBlue ®
and do not dilute AdBlue ®
with
water.
Otherwise, the BlueTEC exhaust gas
aftertreatment system could be damaged.
Damage caused by using additives or
diluting with water are not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Purity The purity of AdBlue
®
is of particular
importance for avoiding malfunctions in the
exhaust gas aftertreatment. If AdBlue
®
is pumped out of the tank, e.g.
during repair work, the same liquid must not
be used to refill the tank as its purity is no
longer guaranteed.
! Impurities caused for example by other
service
products, cleaning agents, and dust
result in increased emissions,
malfunctions, catalyst damage, or engine
damage. Coolants
The engine coolant is a mixture of water and
anticorrosion/antifreeze, which provides:
R Corrosion protection
R Freeze protection
R Boiling
protection (by increasing the boiling
point)
The cooling system was filled at the factory
with a coolant providing freeze protection to
approximately -35‡ (-37†) and corrosion
protection.
! Add premixed coolant solution only.
Adding water and MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/
Antifreeze separately from each other,
could cause engine damage not covered by
the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
If the antifreeze mixture is effective to -35‡
(-37†), the boiling point of the coolant in the
pressurized cooling system is reached at
approximately 266‡ (130†).
The coolant solution must be used year round
to provide the necessary corrosion protection
and increase boil-over protection. Refer to
the Maintenance Booklet for replacement
interval.
Coolant system design and coolant used
determine the replacement interval. The
replacement interval published in the
Maintenance Booklet is only applicable if
MB 325.0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze solution
or other Mercedes-Benz approved products
of equal specification are used to renew the Fuels, coolants, lubricants, etc.
