R
efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R
driving style
R
other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences, road conditions or
traffic flow
You can minimise your vehicle's CO
2
emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
Only for certain countries: the respective cur-
rent consumption and emission values of your
vehicle can be found in the COC papers (EC
CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These docu-
ments are supplied when the vehicle is deliv-
ered.
Consumption figures were found in the currently
valid respective version:
R
for vehicles up to and including the Euro 4
standard according to EU Directive 80 /
1268 / EEC
R
for vehicles from the Euro 5 standard accord-
ing to regulation (EC) no. 715 / 2007
R
for vehicles from the Euro 6 standard accord-
ing to regulation (EC) no. 595 / 2009
Fuel consumption depends on:
R
the type of vehicle
R
the style of driving
R
the operating conditions
R
the type or quality of the fuel used
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in the
following situations:
R
at very low outside temperatures
R
in urban traffic
R
during short journeys
R
in mountainous terrain
R
when towing a trailer
Observe the advice in the "Protection of the
environment" section to keep fuel consumption
low (
Y
page 25).
The following components of the different vehi-
cle versions influence fuel consumption:
R
tyre sizes, tyre tread, tyre pressure, tyre con-
dition
R
transmission ratios for the drive assemblies
R
additional equipment (e.g. air-conditioning
system, auxiliary heating system)
For these reasons, the actual consumption fig-
ures for your vehicle may deviate from the con-
sumption figures determined according to EU
Directive 80/1268/EEC.
Details on fuel consumption can be called up in
the on-board computer (

page 236).
AdBlue
®
Important safety notes
AdBlue
®
is the reducing agent used for the
exhaust gas aftertreatment in BlueTec
®
vehi-
cles. AdBlue
®
is:
R
non-toxic
R
colourless
R
water-soluble
R
non-flammable
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.
Comply with the important safety notes for ser-
vice products when handling AdBlue
®
(
Y
page 344).
Low ambient temperatures
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of approx-
imately -11 †. The vehicle is equipped with an
AdBlue
® preheating system at the factory. Win-
ter operation can thus be guaranteed even at
temperatures below -11 †.
Additives
! 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.
