Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is a danger of injury.
Do not swallow fuel or let it come into contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not inhale fuel
vapours. Keep fuels out of the reach of chil-
dren.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
Wash the fuel off any affected areas of skin
R
with water and soap immediately.
If you get fuel in your eyes, rinse them thor-
R
oughly with clean water immediately. Seek
immediate medical attention.
If fuel is swallowed, seek immediate medi-
R
cal attention. Do not induce vomiting.
Change any clothing that has come into
R
contact with fuel immediately.
G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. When fuel is handled
improperly, there is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
Avoid fire, naked flames, smoking and the
creation of sparks. Make sure that fuels do
not come into contact with a hot exhaust sys-
tem. Before carrying out work on the fuel sys-
tem, switch off the ignition and the auxiliary
heater. Always wear protective gloves.
G
WARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lower than that of
pure diesel fuel. When the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heat unnoticed. There is a risk of fire.
Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to
diesel fuel.

! BlueTec 6 vehicles: only refuel using
commercially available, sulphur-free diesel
fuel that conforms to the European stand-
ard EN 590 as of 2010, et seq. (max.
0.001% sulphur by weight).
The following fuel types are not permitted:
sulphurous fuel with a sulphur content
R
greater than 0.001% by volume
marine diesel fuel
R
aviation turbine fuel
R
heating oils
R
fatty acid methyl ester FAME (bio-diesel
R
fuel)
These fuel types cause irreversible damage
to the engine and BlueTec
aftertreatment, as well as also significantly
reducing the expected service life.
®
BlueTec 5 vehicles: only standardised
fuels with a maximum sulphur content of
0.05% by weight are permissible. However,
Mercedes-Benz only recommends fuel that
complies with the European standard EN
590 as of 2010 (max. 0.001% sulphur by
weight). The use of fuels above 0.005% sul-
phur by weight significantly reduces the
service intervals.
