Rescue Assist QR code stickers are now standard on all new Mercedes-Benz UK vans and can be retrofitted free of charge to models built since 1996.

The location of the Rescue Assist sticker is standardised for each Mercedes-Benz van model and is easily accessible to emergency service teams. In the Vito and Sprinter, it is located on the B-pillars on the driver's and the co-driver's side. In the Citan, the QR code is inside the fuel filler flap and on the B-pillar on the other side of the vehicle.

Scanning the Rescue Assist QR code with an enabled smartphone or tablet opens up a digital rescue card that shows all model details, including the location of vital vehicle components, such as fuel tanks, airbags and electric cables. This information enables a fast and safe rescue, minimising the risks for occupants, as well as for the emergency teams helping, saving around two minutes of precious time.
