Checking and topping up fluids
Selective catalytic
reduction (AdBLue/DEF)
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with selective catalytic reduction
On vehicles with selective catalytic reduction, a
urea solution (AdBLue/DEF) is injected into the
exhaust system upstream of
a
NOx catalytic
con­

verter in order to reduce nitrogen oxide emis­

sions.
The urea solution is known under the name
of AdBlue or DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid). The term
AdBlue is used below.
The AdBlue is held in a separate tank on the
vehi­

cle.
AdBlue consumption is approximately 1.0 -
2.5% of diesel fuel consumption.
As soon as a message appears in the instrument
cluster display reminding you to refill AdBlue,
you must refill the AdBlue tank or have this done
by
a
qualified workshop
^>page
293.
Checking the remaining range
The remaining (estimated) range for the current

AdBLue
level can be displayed on the on-board
computer:
- Vehicles with analogue instrument cluster

•=>
page 20.
- Vehicles with virtual cockpit*
<$page
19.
-The instrument cluster display will
tell
you
how far you can drive before the tank runs
dry
•=>page
292. If the AdBlue tank runs
dry, the engine cannot be started again af­
ter you switch off the ignition.
-The use of
AdBLue for
the operation of this
vehicle is required by Law.
Instrument cluster display
Applies to: vehicles with selective catalytic reduction

The
display informs you if the AdBlue level is too
low or if a system malfunction occurs.
Low AdBlue level
You will be informed if the amount of AdBlue in
the tank falls below a certain
Level.
Add at least
the minimum (smaller) amount of AdBlue

Filling the wrong fluid / system fault
If
you
fill the AdBlue tank with a fluid other than
AdBlue and the system detects that the wrong
fluid has been added or there is a system fault, a
driver message will appear.

|
AdBlue:
system fault. No restart in x km!
See owner's manual
This message tells you the maximum distance

that
you can drive. Drive to a qualified workshop
and have the fault rectified. Otherwise, after driv­
ing the maximum distance and switching off the
engine, you will not be able to restart the car.

AdBlue:
system fault. No restart! See own­
er's manual
This message appears if the system detects that
the tank has been filled with the wrong fluid or if
there is a system fault. Drive to the nearest quali­
fied workshop without delay and have the fault

rectified.
Otherwise, you will not be able to re­
start the car after you switch off the engine.

The AdBlue filler neck is located immediately be­
side the diesel filler neck. Add at least the
amount of AdBlue displayed in the instrument
cluster. If
you
do not refill this amount of
fluid,

the system may not detect that the tank has
been refilled and it may not be possible to restart
the engine. You can refill with a maximum of 12

litres.

Important: A message in the instrument cluster
display informs you if
you
need to refill AdBlue.

A WARNING
AdBlue can cause irritation to the
skin,
eyes,
and respiratory organs. Wash thoroughly with
clean water should you come into contact
with this
fluid.
Seek medical assistance if nee­

ded.

© CAUTION
- Use only
AdBLue
that complies with the ISO
22241-1 standard. Do not mix AdBlue with
additives and do not dilute it with water.
- AdBlue must not be added to the diesel
tank, and diesel must not be added to the
AdBlue tank. Never start the engine if you
fill up with the wrong type of
fuel,
as this
could damage the tank system and the en­

gine.
Obtain professional assistance.
-AdBlue attacks surfaces such as paintwork,
plastic veneer and carpets. Remove spilt
flu­

id as soon as possible with a damp cloth and
plenty of water. If the AdBlue has already

solidified,
use warm water and a sponge.
Residues of AdBlue solidify after
a
while if
they are not removed and can damage the
affected surface.
- Do not keep refill bottles or canisters in the
vehicle, as AdBlue can leak and damage the
vehicle interior.
- Keep AdBlue away from clothing. Wash
thoroughly with clean water should you
come into contact with this
fluid.

Please follow the AdBlue manufacturer's in­
structions for storage and use.

^>(T)in
Prepara­
tions on page 293.

•
Press the left side of the flap to close it (you
should hear it click into place).
After refilling
The vehicle must be driven so that the system
can detect the AdBlue which has been added.
This process can take several minutes.
• If the AdBlue tank had run dry and a range of
0 km was shown on the display, switch on the
ignition for approx. 30 seconds before starting
the engine.
© Note
AdBlue can freeze in the tank at very Low
tem­

peratures. In this case, the system will not
detect AdBlue when you refill and will contin­
ue to indicate a Low
AdBLue
Level. The mes­
sage will disappear as soon as the tank has

thawed.
