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

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 ®
