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 refu-
elling process. Otherwise, electrostatic charge
could build up again. G

R non-toxic
R colourless and odourless
R non-flammable
If you open the AdBlue ®
tank, small amounts of
ammonia vapour may be released.
Ammonia vapours have apungent odour and are
particularlyi rritating to the skin, to mucous
membranes and to the eyes. You may experi-
ence aburning sensation in your eyes, nose and
throat. You may also experience coughing and
watery eyes.

! In order to fill the AdBlue ®
tank, the vehicle
must be parked on alevel surface. The
AdBlue ®
tank can only be filled as intended
with the vehicle parked on alevel surface.
Fluctuations in capacity will thus be avoided.
Filling avehicle standing on an uneven sur-
face is not permitted. There is adanger of
overfilling, which can cause damage to Blue-
TEC exhaust gas aftertreatmentc omponents.
! Surfaces which have come into contact with
AdBlue ®
while refilling should be rinsed
immediately with water, or remove AdBlue ®
with amoist cloth and cold water. If AdBlue ®
has already crystallised,u seasponge and
cold water to clean the area. AdBlue ®
residue
crystallises after acertain amount of time and
soils the affected surfaces.
! AdBlue ®
is not afuel additive and must not
be added to the fuel tank. If AdBlue ®
is added
to the fuel tank, this can lead to engine dam-
age.
Have the AdBlue ®

specialist workshop. However, you can also top
up the AdBlue ®
tank:
