Danger | Risk of suffocation due to inhalation of inert gases. Risk of injury when working on pressurized parts. | Wear safety glasses and protective gloves. Work in well-ventilated rooms only. | |
Danger | Risk of explosion caused by escaping hydrogen or overheating of the fuel tanks when working on the hydrogen system. Risk of frostbite to body parts caused by escaping gas and by touching component parts carrying gas when emptying fuel tanks. Risk of asphyxiation caused by inhalation of air diluted by hydrogen. Risk of burn injuries by coming into contact with an invisible pale blue hydrogen flame. | ||

Use commercially available forming gas bottle bundles. | |||
8 | Check specified value 700 bar with diagnostic system. | ||
| |||
9 | Relieve pressure in filling nozzle and remove filling nozzle. | ||
| 000 588 21 21 00 Leak tester | ||
10 | Perform a leak test on the high-pressure test points (arrows A) at 700 bar. | ||
| 000 588 03 21 00 Gas detector | ||
Use safety glasses and protective gloves. | |||
Specified value at all high-pressure test points (arrows A): under 20 ppm with a measurement duration of 10 to 30 s. | |||
If the specified value is exceeded: | |||
| |||
Abort leak test and remove the leakage. | |||
11 | Perform initial startup of high voltage on-board electrical system. | ||
12 | Fill the medium pressure line system with 9 to 14 bar forming gas via the diagnostic system. | ||
| |||
To do this, select the following menu item: | |||
The forming gas in the high-pressure line system is sufficient for filling. | |||
13 | Perform a leak test on the medium pressure test points (arrows B, C). | ||
| 000 588 03 21 00 Gas detector | ||
Use safety glasses and protective gloves. | |||
Specified value at all medium pressure test points (arrows B, C): under 20 ppm with a measurement duration of 10 to 30 s. | |||
If the specified value is exceeded: | |||
| |||
Abort leak test and remove the leakage. | |||
14 | Release pressure in fuel cell system with vehicle diagnosis system. | ||
| |||
15 | Slowly open the manual valves (3) of both fuel tanks completely and then turn them back a revolution. | If no fuel tank has been inertized or replaced. | |
16 | Slowly open the manual valve (3) of the inertized or replaced fuel tank(s) completely, and then turn them back a revolution. | If one or both fuel tanks has/have been intertized or replaced. | |
17 | Charge the high-voltage battery in the workshop to approx. 80 % charge level, then remove the charging cable. | The charge level of the high-voltage battery module is necessary for the diagnosis routines as well as activating different valves. | |
18 | Check the deactivation of the fuel cell in the powertrain control unit (N127). | ||
| |||
To do this, select the following menu item: | |||
If deactivation of the fuel cell has not been set, | |||
| |||
Perform a diagnosis-based deactivation of the fuel cell in the powertrain control unit (N127). | |||
If deactivation of the fuel cell has not been set, the fuel cell stack is damaged. | |||
19 | Exit the workshop using battery power. | ||
20 | Fill the tank until 50 bar hydrogen has been reached. | ||

| |||
Commercially available devices/tools explosion-proof flashlight, comparable with AccuLux flashlight MHL 5 EX of the company Witte + Sutor GmbH. | |||
To do this, select the following menu item: | |||
If the tank temperature is close to 85 °C, | |||
| |||
Stop filling the tank until the tank temperature has fallen to the right level. | |||
21 | Flushing the fuel system | If one or both fuel tanks has/have been intertized or replaced. | |
The leak test is ended in "Flushing the fuel system", so the subsequent work steps are no longer necessary. | |||
22 | Briefly fill the high-pressure line systems with 50 bar hydrogen via the filler neck (2). | If the supply pressure in the fuel tanks is sufficient and the tank was therefore not filled up to 50 bar hydrogen (work step 20). | |

23 | Perform a diagnosis-based activation of the fuel cell in the powertrain control unit (N127). | ||
| |||
To do this, select the following menu item: | |||
24 | Start fuel cell system, let it run at a standstill for at least 5 min and read the fault messages in the instrument cluster. | ||
If a fault message appears in the instrument cluster, | |||
| |||
switch off fuel cell system and eliminate the fault. | |||
25 | Perform a brief diagnosis test. | ||
| |||
26 | Fill the vehicle to 700 bar at a hydrogen filling station. | If necessary, transport the vehicle on a passenger car transport trailer or a passenger car van. | |
27 | Drive into the workshop. | ||
28 | Perform the "Special service, recurring check of gas system". | ||
| |||
29 | Install underfloor paneling. | ||
30 | Install fuel cell cover (1). | ||
