  system that associates the SCR (Selective 
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system 
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the 
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot 
function without AdBlue
® fluid.
The engine starting prevention system 
required by regulations is activated 
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is 
empty. It is then no longer possible to 
start the engine until the minimum level of 
AdBlue
® has been topped up.

While the range is greater than 1,500 miles 
( 2,400   km), it is not displayed automatically.
