DANGER Risk of deathcausedby
exhaustgases
Combustionengines emit poisonous exhaust
gases suchascarbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaustgases is hazardoustohealth
and leads to poisoning.
#
Neverleave theengine or,ifpresent,
theauxiliaryheating running in an
enclosedspace without sufficient venti‐
lation.

WARNING Risk of fire caused by hot
exhaustsystemparts
Flammable materials suchasleaves, grass or
twigs mayignite.
#
Park thevehicle so that no flammable
material can comeintocontact with hot
vehicle components.
#
In particular,donot parkondry grass‐
land or harvested grain fields.
Regeneration without interruption takesapprox.
15 minutes.
If thevehicle is predominantlyused forshortdis‐
tance driving or extendednon-operationaltimes,
this could lead to amalfunctioninthe automatic
cleaning function forthe diesel particulatefilter.
As aresult, permanent blocking of thediesel par‐
ticulatefilter mayoccur.and fuel mayalso accu‐
mulateinthe engine oil and cause engine failure.
If youmainly driveshortdistances, youshould
driveonafreeway or go foracountrydrive for20
minutes every 500 km (300 miles). This facili‐
tatesthe diesel particulatefilter's burn-offproc‐
ess.

NOTE Damage to theelectrical system
If youremove thebatterymain switch, it
could lead to theelectrical system becoming
damaged.
#
Makesurethat theignition is switched
offand that at least15minutes have
passed beforeremoving thebattery
main switch. Otherwise, electrical sys‐
temcomponents could be damaged.
Youcan use thebatterymain switchtodiscon‐
nect thecurrent to all your vehicle's consumers.
This will prevent uncontrolledbattery discharge
caused by quiescent current consumers.
If your vehicle is equipped withanauxiliary bat‐
tery in theengine compartmentorinthe base of
theco-driver's seat, youmustdisconnectboth
batteries. Onlythen is theelectrical system fully
disconnected from thepowersupply.
