Operation
Refuelling (diesel fuel)
types of fuel such as marine diesel fuel,
heating oils or fatty acid methyl ester
FAME (biodiesel fuel) are not permitted.
These types of fuel would cause irrevers-
ible damage to the engine and BlueTec®6
exhaust gas aftertreatment system and
considerably reduce expected service life.
Danger.
Risk of injury and explosion. Fuel is
highly flammable. Fire, naked flames and
smoking are therefore prohibited when
fuel is being handled.
Danger.
Before refuelling, switch off the auxiliary
heating to prevent fuel vapours from ig-
niting on the auxiliary heating exhaust
system.
Danger.
Fuel is toxic and harmful to health. For
this reason, make sure that the fuel does
not come into contact with skin, eyes
or clothing, that you do not inhale fuel
vapours and that children are kept away
from the fuel.
Danger.
If you or others have come into contact
with fuel: In case of contact with the
eyes, rinse them immediately and copi-
ously with clean water and seek medical
attention. Clean affected areas of skin
immediately with soap and water. Imme-
diately change out of clothing that has
come into contact with fuel. If fuel has
been swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately.
Environmental protection
If handled improperly, fuels constitute a
hazard to health and the environment.
Fuels must not be allowed to enter the
sewerage system, surface water, ground-
water or soil.
