Problems with fuel and the fuel tank
This section provides descriptions of and solutions to safety-relevant problems. Descriptions
of and solutions to further problems can be found in the Digital Operator's Manual.
ProblemPossible causes/consequences and MSolutions
Fuel is leaking from the
vehicle.GWARNING
The fuel line or the fuel tank is faulty.
Risk of explosion or fire.
XApply the electric parking brake.
XSwitch off the engine.
XRemove the SmartKey from the ignition lock.
or, on vehicles with KEYLESS‑GO:
XOpen the driver's door.
The on-board electronics now have status 0. This is the same as
the SmartKey having been removed.
XDo not restart the engine under any circumstances.
XConsult a qualified specialist workshop.
DEF (BlueTEC vehicles only)
Important notes on use
To function properly, BlueTEC exhaust gas
aftertreatment must be operated with the
reducing agent DEF. Adding DEF is one of the
tasks performed during maintenance. Under
normal operating conditions, a tank of DEF
lasts until the next service due date.
When the supply of DEF is almost used up, the
Check
AdditiveSeeOperator'sManual
message is shown in the multifunction dis-
play.
When the DEF supply drops to a minimum, the
Remaining Starts: 16
message is shown
in the multifunction display.
If the Remaining Starts: 16
message
appears in the multifunction display, you can
start the engine another 16 times. If DEF is
not refilled, you will subsequently be unable
to start the engine.
XAdd at least 1 gal (3.8 l)of DEF.
XSwitch on the ignition for at least 60 sec-
onds.
XStart the engine.
iHave the DEF tank refilled at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Use the special DEF refill bottle when adding
DEF between maintenance intervals. Contact
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center with
any questions or, if necessary, contact Road-
side Assistance (
Ypage 29).
If the outside temperature is below 12 ‡
(Ò11 †) it may be difficult to top up. If DEF is frozen and there is an active warning indica-
tor, it may not be possible to add DEF. Park
the vehicle in a warmer place, e.g. in a garage,
until DEF has become fluid again. It will then
be possible to add DEF again. Alternatively,
have the DEF tank refilled at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Further information about BlueTEC exhaust
gas aftertreatment and DEF is available at any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Procedure and general information
Searching for and authorizing (connect-
ing) a mobile phone
Before using your mobile phone with Audio
20/COMAND for the first time, you will need
to search (
Ypage 229) for the phone and
then authorize it (
Ypage 229). Depending on
the mobile phone, authorization either takes
place by means of Secure Simple Pairing or by
entering a passkey. Audio 20/COMAND
automatically makes the system suitable for
your mobile phone available. You can recog-
nize Secure Simple Pairing by a code which is displayed in Audio 20/COMAND and on the
mobile phone. You can recognize the passkey
system by the fact that you have to enter a
code on the mobile phone and in Audio 20/
COMAND. The mobile phone is always con-
nected automatically after authorization.
If Audio 20/COMAND does not detect your
mobile phone, this may be due to particular
security settings on your mobile phone. You
can also start the search procedure and
authorization on the mobile phone
(
Ypage 230).
Device-specific information on authorizing
and connecting Bluetooth
®-capable mobile
phones can be found on the Internet at
http://www.mercedes-benz.com/
connect.
You can authorize up to 15 mobile phones.
Only one mobile phone can be connected to
Audio 20/COMAND at any one time.
De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile
phone
The connection is terminated automatically if
you leave the receiver range of Audio 20/
