Refuelling 217 vapours. Keep fuels out of the reach of chil- dren. If you or others come into contact with fuel, observe the following: These fuel types cause irreversible damage to the engine and BlueTec ® exhaust gas aftertreatment, as well as also significantly reducing the expected service life. R Wash the fuel off any affected areas of skin with water and soap immediately. ! Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a diesel engine. Do not switch on the ignition if you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel. Otherwise, fuel can enter the fuel sys- tem. Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system and the engine. The repair costs are high.
Notify a qualified specialist workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely. R If you get fuel in your eyes, rinse them thor- oughly with clean water immediately. Seek immediate medical attention. R If fuel is swallowed, seek immediate medi- cal attention. Do not induce vomiting. Driving mode R Change any clothing that has come into contact with fuel immediately. G WARNING Electrostatic charge can cause sparks and thereby ignite fuel vapours. There is a risk of 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 add any special fuel additives to the diesel fuel. Special fuel additives may lead to: R malfunctions R damage to exhaust system/exhaust gas aftertreatment R damage to engine G WARNING If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of pure diesel fuel. When the engine is running, components in the exhaust system may over- heat unnoticed. There is a risk of fire. Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to diesel fuel. ! Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the fuel system. ! Take care not to spill any fuel on painted surfaces. You could otherwise damage the paintwork. !
If you are using drums or canisters to refuel the vehicle, you should filter the fuel before adding it. This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel system due to contaminated fuel. ! Only refuel using commercially available, sulphur-free diesel fuel that conforms to the European standard EN 590 as of 2010, et seq. (max. 0.001% sulphur by weight). The following fuel types are not permitted: ! Use truck fuel pump nozzles to refuel. If you use a passenger vehicle fuel pump noz- zle, the filler neck could be damaged. If you must use a passenger vehicle fuel pump nozzle, be careful of the latch when remov- ing the nozzle.
Do not pull the passenger vehicle fuel pump nozzle, but turn or tilt it downwards. You can then remove the noz- zle. R sulphurous fuel with a sulphur content greater than 0.001% by weight R marine diesel fuel R aviation turbine fuel R fatty acid methyl ester FAME (bio-diesel fuel) R heating oils H Environmental note If fuels are handled improperly, they pose a danger to persons and the environment.
