Remaining range between 1,500 and 350 miles (2,400 and 600 km)
When driving, this message is displayed every
180 miles (300 km) until the fluid level has been
topped up.
The reser ve level has been reached; it is
recommended that you top up as soon as
possible.
It is recommended that you do not top up by
more than 10
litres of AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue
