If a fuel tank has a leak which was caused by an accident with

another vehicle, bottoming out, etc., this cannot be claimed as a
warranty/goodwill case.
We explicitly state here that repair measures
(e.g. welding, bonding, etc.) on fuel tanks made out of sheet metal or
plastic are not permissible.

The fuel tank is always to be replaced when leaks are determined
which have been caused by damage to the upper or lower sides of
the fuel tank.

Modification notes

Engines have been added and procedure has been updated

Incorrect refueling of diesel-power vehicles with a common rail

injection system. Please be aware that if the customer fills the fuel
tank with the wrong type of fuel, this is the customer's fault and
cannot be submitted as a warranty claim.

If the diesel-powered vehicle with a common rail injection system has
been refueled with gasoline, follow the steps below:

1. If the engine was not started after fuel tank is filled with the wrong

type of fuel, then emptying the fuel tank and cleaning the fuel low-
pressure lines should be enough to solve the problem.

2. If the engine was started after fuel tank was filled with wrong type

of fuel:

On engines 611, 612, 613, 668:
-

On the rail, open the low pressure connection of the high
pressure pump return (plastic connection in area of pressure
regulator valve) and check connecting point in rail for chips.

On engine 646, 647, 648, 628:
-

Disconnect Y-distributor unit (return line HDP/Rail) at the output
and, with ignition ON, collect the fuel in a clean container. Check
fuel for metal shavings.

If the high pressure pump is not damaged and there are no metal

shavings in the injection system:

-

As in step 1, empty fuel as per the guidelines and clean the fuel
low-pressure lines. In addition to this, remove/install/replace the
high-pressure pump and fuel filter.

If metal shavings are found in the fuel

system or the high pressure pump drive is
damaged:

Service information on immobilization of a passenger-side airbag where a

It is recommended to place the child seat in the rear area if

possible.
If, in exceptional cases, the owner wishes a rearward mounted child
seat to be expressly attached on the front passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag should be immobilized.

As a general rule, there is no approval for immobilizing the front

passenger airbag on models fitted with ACSR, which is visible from
the "airbag OFF" indicator light in the center console. On such
models, an MB child seat with ACSR should be used for safety and
cost reasons.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On models fitted with seat belt force limiter, it is essential for

safety reasons to

D program the front passenger ETR to "NO".
D unplug the connector at the front passenger ETR.

No provision is made for immobilizing the seat occupied

recognition, the automatic child seat recognition (ACSR), as well as
the side airbag and window airbag.

In the event that it is necessary to immobilize the seat occupied
recognition and automatic child seat recognition (ACSR), for example
if a Recaro seat is installed, this can be carried out in exceptional
cases after agreement has been obtained from GSP/SPS, tel. 07031
/ 90 - 81815.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After immobilizing the front passenger airbag or additionally the

ETR, it is essential to

D have the customer sign the confirmation after immobilization.
D affix a sticker at a clearly visible point in the area of the front
passenger airbag.
D affix a sticker in the Owner's Manual, in the section Airbag.

Carry out the remaining procedure as stated below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deactivation can be reversed at any time.

Immobilization and re-activation must be entered in the

vehicle documents!

The vehicle should be presented in such a case to a technical
inspection center (DEKRA, TÜV). The completed confirmation
should be submitted to the vehicle registration authorities for
entry.
