1. SECURING THE VEHICLE
1.1 SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Ignition switch
If the ignition switch can be reached, an attempt
can be made to stop the engine by switching off
the ignition.
CO2
Another method is to blow CO2into the air inlet.
The engine no longer receives sufficient oxygen
so it stops.
The air inlet can be accessed behind the cabin.
First, lift the rubber gaiter and blow CO2into the
bottom half using a fire extinguisher.

1.2 MAIN SWITCH
If the vehicle is equipped with a main switch, it is
either mechanically or electronically operated,
depending on the vehicle version.
The switch can be used to interrupt the power
supply from the batteries to the vehicle (except
for the tachograph).
Electronic main switch
The electronic main switch does not switch off at
once when it is operated; this happens with a 10-
second delay. This is to allow the after-running of
various electrical systems on the vehicle.
The electronic main switch (usually located close
to the battery pack).
If the vehicle is equipped with an electronic main
switch, there is also a switch on the centre
console in the cabin.

1.4 AIRBAG
WARNING! Airbag modules and
safety belt tensioners are
pyrotechnic systems and contain an
explosive charge.

tensioner system can be identified by a sticker
with the airbag symbol on the windscreen.

1.5 FLUIDS
The capacities and position of the tanks depend
on the vehicle type.
AdBlue
AdBlue is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colourless,
odourless and water-soluble liquid.
AdBlue is a liquid consisting of 32.5% urea and
67.5% water.
AdBlue must meet the specifications according to
DIN 70070.
High temperatures
If AdBlue is heated in the tank to 50°C over a long
period of time, the decomposing AdBlue can
produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia vapours
have a pungent odour. For this reason, avoid
inhaling possible ammonia vapours escaping
when unscrewing the AdBlue filler cap. These
concentrations of ammonia vapours are neither
toxic nor hazardous to health.
Low temperatures
AdBlue freezes at temperatures of approximately
-11°C.
