AdBlue
®
General notes
To function properly, BlueTEC
®
exhaust gas
aftertreatment must be operated with the
reducing agent AdBlue
®
(
Y
page 27).
When the supply of AdBlue ® is down to a reserve
of approximately 2.4 l, the 1st warning message
Refill AdBlue See Owner’s Manual
is
shown in the display.
Have the vehicle's AdBlue
®
tank refilled at a
qualified specialist workshop. However, you can
also top up the AdBlue
®
tank:
R
with the pump nozzle at an AdBlue
®
filling
pump (
Y
page 178)
R
with an AdBlue
®
refill canister (
Y
page 178)
R
with AdBlue
®
refill bottles (
Y
page 178).
Before you travel outside Europe, check the
AdBlue
®
supply (
Y
page 243) and get advice
from a qualified specialist workshop.
Further information on exhaust gas aftertreat-
ment in BlueTEC
®
vehicles as well as informa-
tion on AdBlue
®
can be obtained at any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Important safety notes
! Only use AdBlue
®
which meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
Do not mix AdBlue
®
with any additives and do
not dilute AdBlue
®
with water. Exhaust gas
aftertreatment may otherwise not function
correctly and its components may be dam-
aged.
! In order to fill the AdBlue
®
tank, the vehicle
must be parked on a level surface. The
AdBlue
®
tank can only be filled as intended
with the vehicle parked on a level surface. In
this way, differences in filling quantities can
be avoided.
Filling a vehicle standing on an uneven sur-
face is not permitted. There is a danger of
overfilling. The components of the exhaust
gas aftertreatment system may be damaged
as a result.
! Surfaces which have come into contact with
AdBlue
®
while refilling should be rinsed
immediately with water, or remove AdBlue
®
with a moist cloth and cold water. If AdBlue
®
has already crystallised, use a sponge and
cold water to clean the area. AdBlue
®
residue
crystallises after a certain amount of time and
soils the affected surfaces.
! AdBlue
®
is not a fuel additive and must not
be added to the fuel tank. If AdBlue
®
is added
to the fuel tank, this can lead to engine dam-
age.
If you open the AdBlue
®
tank, small amounts of
ammonia vapour may be released.
Ammonia vapours have a pungent smell and are
particularly irritating to skin, mucous mem-
branes and eyes. You may experience a burning
sensation in your nose, throat and eyes. You
may also experience coughing and watery eyes.
Do not inhale ammonia vapours. Only fill the
AdBlue
® tank in well-ventilated areas.
Do not swallow AdBlue
®
or let it come into con-
tact with skin, eyes or clothing. Keep AdBlue
®
out of the reach of children.
