Refueling
The fuel filler flap is beside the front left-hand
door when viewed in the direction of travel. It
is only possible to open the fuel filler flap
when the front door is open.0046Retaining strap0047Fuel filler cap
! Filter the fuel before transferring it to the
vehicle if you are refueling the vehicle from
barrels or containers.
This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel
system due to contaminated fuel.
! Do not use gasoline to refuel vehicles with
a diesel engine. Do not use diesel to refuel
vehicles with a gasoline engine. Even small
amounts of the wrong fuel result in damage
to the injection system and the engine.
Damage resulting from adding the wrong
fuel is not covered by the Limited 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.
You will find information about fuel in the
"Technical data" and "Operation" sections of
the vehicle's Operator's Manual.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
! Only use DEF in accordance with
ISO 22241. Never mix DEF with additives
or thin it with tap water. The exhaust gas
aftertreatment may otherwise be
damaged.
Observe the MB Specifications for Service
Products, Sheet 352.0.
Damage that results from the use of
additives or tap water leads to a loss of
Limited Warranty entitlements.
! If DEF comes into contact with a painted
or aluminum surface, wash the surface off
immediately with plenty of water.
! DEF is not a diesel additive and must not
be mixed with fuel in the tank. Even small
amounts of DEF can cause engine damage.
Damage resulting from adding DEF is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
i Do not inhale any ammonia vapors which
may escape when you unscrew the tank
filler cap. Ammonia vapors have a pungent
odor. However, they are neither toxic nor
hazardous to health in this concentration.
