Further information about BlueTEC exhaust
gas aftertreatment and about AdBlue ®
can
be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Important safety notes AdBlue
®
is a water-soluble fluid for the
exhaust gas aftertreatment of diesel engines.
It is:
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 a pungent odour and
are particularly irritating to the skin, to
mucous membranes and to the eyes. You may experience a burning sensation in your eyes,
nose and throat. You may also experience
coughing and watery eyes.
Do not inhale any ammonia vapours that may
be released. Only fill the AdBlue ®
tank in well-
ventilated areas.
Do not swallow AdBlue ®
or let it come into
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Keep
AdBlue ®
away from children.
If you or others come into contact with
AdBlue ®
, observe the following:
R immediately rinse AdBlue ®
off your skin
with soap and water.
R if AdBlue ®
comes into contact with your
eyes, immediately rinse them thoroughly
with clean water. Seek medical attention
immediately.
R if AdBlue ®
is swallowed, immediately rinse
your mouth out thoroughly. Drink plenty of water. Seek medical attention immedi-
ately.
R change immediately out of clothing that
has come into contact with AdBlue ®
.
! Only use AdBlue ®
in accordance with
ISO 22241. Do not mix any additives with
AdBlue ®
, and do not dilute AdBlue ®
with
water. This may destroy the BlueTEC
exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
! In order to fill the AdBlue ®
tank, the vehi-
cle must be parked on a level surface. The
AdBlue ®
tank can only be filled as intended Refuelling
207Driving and pa rking Z

with the vehicle parked on a level surface.
Fluctuations in capacity will thus be avoi-
ded. Filling a vehicle standing on an uneven surface is not permitted. There is a danger
of overfilling, which can cause damage to
BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment com-
ponents.
! Surfaces which have come into contact
with AdBlue ®
while refilling should be
rinsed immediately with water, or remove
AdBlue ®
with a moist cloth and cold water.
If AdBlue ®
has already crystallised, use a
sponge and cold water to clean the area.
AdBlue ®
residue crystallises after a certain
amount of time and soils the affected sur-
faces.
! AdBlue ®
is not a fuel additive and must
not be added to the fuel tank. If AdBlue ®
is
added to the fuel tank, this can lead to
engine damage.
Have the AdBlue ®
tank refilled at a qualified
specialist workshop. However, you can also
top up the AdBlue ®
tank:
R at a filling station with an AdBlue ®
filling
pump
R with AdBlue ®
refill bottles
R with an AdBlue ®
refill canister
When the pump nozzle switches off automat- ically during filling at a filling pump, the
AdBlue ®
tank has been completely filled. Do
not fill the AdBlue ®
tank any further. AdBlue ®
may leak out.
To avoid transporting already opened refill
containers in the vehicle, completely empty
refill bottles or canisters when filling the
AdBlue ®
tank, if possible.

. Charging the high-voltage battery
(PLUG-IN HYBRID vehicles) Important safety notes
G
DANGER
The vehicle's high voltage electrical system is under high voltage. If you modify components
in the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system or touch damaged components, you may be
electrocuted. The components in the vehi-
cle's high-voltage electrical system may be
damaged in an accident, although the damage
is not visible. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Do not touch any high-voltage components
after an accident and never modify the vehi-
cle's high-voltage electrical system. Have the vehicle towed away after an accident and the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
checked by a qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
In the event of a vehicle fire, the internal pres- sure of the high-voltage battery could exceeda critical value. In this case, flammable gas
escapes through a vent valve in the vehicle's
underbody. The gas can ignite. There is a risk
of injury.
Leave the danger area immediately. Secure
the danger area at a suitable distance, whilst
observing legal requirements. G
DANGER
Connecting the charging cable to the mains
supply via incorrectly installed mains sockets or by means of adapters, extension cables or
similar could cause a fire or an electric shock. There is a risk of fatal injury.
To avoid such risks, observe the following:
R Only connect the charging cable to mains
sockets:
- which have been properly installed and
- which have been inspected by a qualified
electrician
R For safety reasons, only use charging
cables which have been supplied with the
vehicle or which have been approved for
this vehicle.
R Never use a damaged charging cable.
R Do not use:
- extension cables
- extension reels
- multi-outlet sockets
R Never use socket adapters to connect the
charging cable to the mains socket. The
only exception is if the adapter has been
tested and approved by the manufacturer
for charging the high-voltage battery of an
electric vehicle.
R Observe the safety notes in the operating
instructions for the socket adapter. G
DANGER
