AdBlue with water. This could destroy the
BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment.
! Rinse surfaces that have come into
contact with AdBlue
water or remove AdBlue
cloth and cold water. If the AdBlue
already crystallized, use a sponge and cold
water to clean it. AdBlue
crystallize after time and contaminate the
affected surfaces.
High outside temperatures
®
If AdBlue is heated to above 122 ‡ (50 †)
for an extended period of time, e.g. due to
direct sunlight on the AdBlue
®
AdBlue may start to decompose. Ammonia
vapors develop as a result.
G
Warning!
When opening the filler cap of the AdBlue
tank ammonia gas vapors may escape. Refill
®
AdBlue in a well ventilated area only.
Ammonia gas vapors have a pungent odor and
are particularly irritating for your skin,
mucous membranes, and eyes. Inhaling
ammonia gas vapors will cause burning eyes,
nose, and throat, as well as coughing and
watering eyes.
Low outside temperatures
®
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approximately 12 ‡ (-11 †). The vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue
at the factory. Winter operation can thus be
guaranteed even at temperatures below
12 ‡ (-11 †).

Assuring the purity of AdBlue
important with respect to avoiding
malfunctions in the exhaust gas
aftertreatment system.

returned to the tank. The purity of the fluid
can no longer be guaranteed.
! Impurities in AdBlue
service products, cleaning agents or dust,
lead to increased emission values, system
malfunctions, catalytic converter damage
or damage to the BlueTEC system.

Engine oil

Points to remember
The engine oils are matched to the
performance of our engines and service
intervals. For this reason, only use engine oils
and oil filters that are approved for vehicles
with a service system.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
or visit http://www.mbusa.com (USA only)
for a list of approved engine oils and oil filters.
!
Never use engine oil or an oil filter of a
specification other than is necessary to
fulfill the prescribed service intervals. Do
not change the engine oil or oil filter in
order to achieve longer replacement
intervals than those prescribed. Otherwise,
you may cause damage to the engine or
exhaust gas aftertreatment; this is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
