The correct fuel grades for your vehicle are specified on the inside of the fuel
filler flap » Fig. 163 on page 160 .
WARNING■
The operating instructions of the refuelling system must always be fol-
lowed.■
Do not smoke when refuelling and do not use a mobile phone.
■
Fuel vapours are explosive - can be fatal!
CAUTION
■ Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of
fuel can cause misfiring, which can result in damage to parts of the engine and
the exhaust system.■
Immediately remove any fuel that has spilled onto the vehicle's paintwork –
risk of paint damage.
■
If the vehicle was not purchased in the country where it was intended to be
operated, you should check whether the fuel specified by the manufacturer is
offered in the country where the vehicle will be operated. You should also per-
haps check whether the manufacturer has recommended a different fuel for
operation of the vehicle in the corresponding country. If no prescribed fuel is
available, then you must check whether it is permitted by the manufacturer to
operate the vehicle with another fuel type.

160General Maintenance

Preheating fuel
The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter preheating system. This secures opera-
tion of a vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temperature of
-25 °C.
Diesel fuel additives
The diesel fuel in accordance with the prescribed standards meets all the con-
ditions for a smooth running engine. We therefore recommend that no diesel
fuel additives are used. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the
engine or the exhaust system.
CAUTION
■ Just filling the tank once with diesel fuel that does not comply with the
standard, can cause severe damage to parts of the engine, the fuel and ex-
haust system.■
If a different fuel other than diesel fuel, which complies to the above men-
tioned standards (e.g. petrol) is put into the tank, do not start the engine or
switch on the ignition! Extensive damage to engine parts can occur.
■
Water which has collected in the fuel filter can cause engine faults.
CAUTION
■ The vehicle cannot be operated with biofuel RME, therefore this fuel must
not be refuelled and driven. The use of biofuel RME can cause considerable
damage to parts of the engine or fuel system.■
Do not mix any fuel additives, so-called “flow improvers” (petrol and similar
agents) into the diesel. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the
engine or the exhaust system.
AdBlue ®
and its refilling
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Tank and level check
164
AdBlue ®
replenish
164
In order to reduce pollutant emissions from vehicles with diesel engines and
the SCR catalyst, a urea - AdBlue ®
solution is injected into the exhaust system.
For vehicles with the AdBlue ®
injection system there is a note on the inside of
the fuel filler flap referring to the location of the AdBlue ®
filler neck and the
AdBlue ®
minimum replenishment amount, that is required by a low AdBlue ®
level.
AdBlue ®
standard
Only use AdBlue ®
that corresponds to the standard ISO 22241-1.
AdBlue ®
consumption
The AdBlue ®
consumption amounts to around 1.2-1.6 l/1000 km.
The AdBlue ®
consumption depends on driving style, the operating tempera-
ture of the system and on the weather conditions.
For information on storing AdBlue ®
▶ Keep AdBlue ®
only in original sealed containers and in a safe place.
▶ Keep the container out of the reach of children.
▶ Do not expose the containers to direct sunlight or temperatures above 30° C.
Instructions for cleaning ▶ If any painted vehicle parts, clothing and carpets are splashed with AdBlue ®
wash the affected area with a damp cloth and plenty of cold water.
▶ Remove any dried AdBlue ®
with warm water and a sponge.WARNING■ AdBlue ®
is an irritating and corrosive solution that can injure the skin,
eyes and respiratory system!■
If AdBlue ®
comes into contact with skin or eyes, wash the affected area
immediately for at least. 15 minutes with water and seek medical attention
immediately.
■
If AdBlue ®
is swallowed rinse your mouth with water for at least 15 mi-
nutes and consult a doctor immediately.
CAUTION
■ Never carry containers with AdBlue ®
permanently in the vehicle - there is a
risk of damage to the vehicle interior.■
Never add water or other additives AdBlue ®

163Inspecting and replenishing

The coolant additive share in the coolant must be at least. 40%.
The coolant additive may be increased to a maximum of 60%.
The correct mixing ratio of water and coolant additive is to be checked if nec-
essary by a specialist garage or is to be restored if necessary.
The description of the coolant is shown in the coolant expansion reservoir
» Fig. 170 on page 170 .WARNINGThe engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. The following
warning instructions must be followed at all times when working in the en-
gine compartment » page 165.■
The coolant is harmful to health.
■
Avoid contact with the coolant.
■
Coolant vapours are harmful to health.
■
Never open the end cover of the coolant expansion reservoir while the
engine is still warm. The cooling system is pressurized!
■
When opening the end cover of the coolant expansion reservoir, cover it
with a cloth to protect your face, hands and arms from hot steam or hot
coolant.
■
If any coolant splashes into your eyes, immediately rinse out your eyes
with clear water and contact a doctor as soon as possible.
■
Always keep the coolant in the original container, safe from people who
are not completely independent, especially children - there is a danger of
poisoning!
■
If coolant is swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
■
Never spill operating fluids over the hot engine - risk of fire.
CAUTION
■  Do not continue if for some reason it is not possible to fill with coolant un-
der the current circumstances! Switch off the engine and seek assistance from
a specialist garage.■
If the expansion tank is empty, do not top up with coolant. The system could
fill with air - risk of engine damage, 
stop driving! Switch off the engine and
seek assistance from a specialist garage.
■
The concentration of coolant additive in the coolant must never be under
40%.
■
Over 60% of coolant additive in the coolant reduces the antifreeze protec-
tion and cooling effect.
■
A coolant additive that does not comply with the correct specification can
significantly reduce the corrosion protection of the cooling system.
■ Any faults resulting from corrosion may cause a loss of coolant and can con-
sequently result in major engine damage.■
Do not fill the coolant above the mark
A
» Fig. 170 on page 170 .
■
If an error occurs, leading to the engine overheating, the help of a professio-
nal garage is to be sought - there is a risk of serious engine damage occurring.
■
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
Note
The coolant capacity is approximately 1 l greater on vehicles that are fitted
with an auxiliary heater (auxiliary heating and ventilation).

AB170General Maintenance

CAUTIONOn vehicles with the START / STOP system or additional heating (auxiliary
heating), do not connect the pole terminal of the charger directly to the nega-
tive terminal of the vehicle battery but only to the engine earth » page 189.
Replacing
Read and observe
and on page 172 first.
The new vehicle battery must have the same capacity, voltage, current and the
same size as the original Battery. Suitable vehicle battery types can be pur-
chased from a specialist garage.
We recommend you have the battery replaced by a specialist garage.

RadioTime settings» page 30CAUTION■ Disconnect the vehicle battery only with the ignition turned off - there is a
risk of damaging the electrical system of the vehicle.■
Under no circumstances must the battery cables be connected incorrectly –
risk of a cable fire.
Note
■ After disconnecting and re-connecting the vehicle battery, we recommend
having the vehicle checked by a specialist to ensure that the full functionality
of all electrical systems is guaranteed.■
The data of the multi-function display will be reset.
Automatic load deactivation
Read and observe
and on page 172 first.
The vehicle's electrical system automatically prevents the battery from dis-
charging when the battery is being heavily used. This manifests itself by the
following. ▶ The idling speed is raised to allow the generator to deliver more electricity to
the electrical system.
▶ Where necessary, large convenience consumers such as seat heaters and
rear window heaters have their power limited or are shut off completely in
the event of an emergency.
CAUTION
■ Despite such intervention by the vehicle electric system management, the
vehicle battery may be drained. For example, when the ignition is switched on
a long time with the engine turned off or the side or parking lights are turned
on during longer parking.■
Consumers that are supplied via a 12-V power socket can cause the vehicle
battery to discharge when the ignition is switched off.
Note
Driving comfort is not impaired by consumers being deactivated. The driver is
often not aware of it having taken place.175Inspecting and replenishing
