consu mption
The average AdBlue ®
consu mption is between
1% and 5% of fuel consumption. Li kefuel con‐
sum ption, AdBlue ®
consu mption is highly
dependent upon driving style and operating con‐
ditions. Forth is reason, your vehicle's actual
consum ption figures under da y-to -day operating
conditions may di ffer from the consum ption fig‐
ures calculated. The frequency at which you will
ha ve to to p up AdBlue ®
will also vary. Ha vethe
Ad Blue ®
supply checked at a qualified specialist
wo rkshop before making journe ysoutside of
Europe. Before a longer stay outside of Europe,
consult a qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING Risk of an accident due to
va pour poc kets form ing in the brake sys‐
tem
The brake fluid cons tantly absorbs moi sture
from the air. This lo wersthe boiling point of
th e brake fluid. If the boiling point is too lo w,
va pour poc kets may form inthe brake sys‐
te m when the brakes are applied hard.
This impairs the braking ef fect. 400
