Warnings and safety regulations
Engine
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an invisible, odourless, but highly toxic gas.
Inhalation of these gases may cause unconsciousness and death.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed or unventilated area.
Make sure that exhaust gases are properly extracted.
A poorly maintained, damaged or corroded exhaust system can allow carbon monoxide
to enter the cabin. Entry of carbon monoxide is also possible from other vehicles
nearby. If the maintenance of the vehicle is poor, this may lead to carbon monoxide
entering the cabin or sleeper, causing serious illness. Never idle the engine for
prolonged periods of time. If you smell or sense exhaust fumes, investigate the cause
of the fumes and correct it as soon as possible.
Never leave the engine idling without a driver present for too long. This can increase
the risk of personal injury and/or vehicle damage. If the engine overheats, as indicated
by the engine coolant temperature indicator, immediate action is required to correct the
condition. Continued unattended operation of the engine, even for a short time, may
result in serious engine damage or a fire.
Cooling system filler cap
Do not remove the filler cap of the cooling system when the engine is at operating
temperature. Do not loosen the filler cap of the cooling system when the cabin is tilted.
EAS (Emission Aftertreatment System)
The vehicle complies with the current European emission legislation standard Euro 6.
To meet this stringent legislation, the engine has Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR),
Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) with an urea (AdBlue) dosing system and a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF). Combined, they are referred to as the Emission Aftertreatment
System (EAS).
For this system to operate properly, it needs AdBlue and the DPF must be cleaned
(regenerated) periodically.
NOTE: The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is, for example on the master
display, also referred to as the soot filter.
NOTE: It may be a criminal offence to drive the vehicle without using
AdBlue required to reduce pollutant emissions.
To avoid malfunction and damage to the system, it is important to adhere to the
following precautions:
– Refuel with diesel of the prescribed quality to prevent damage to the Emission
Aftertreatment System. See section 'Diesel fuel' in chapter 'Technical data'.
