Driving and operating131AdBlue
General information
The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) is a method to
substantially reduce the nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust emission. This
is achieved by injecting a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust
system.
The designation of this fluid is AdBlue Ⓡ. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable,
colourless and odourless fluid which
consists of 32% urea and 68% water.
Note
AdBlue Ⓡ is a registered trademark
of the Verband der
Automobilindustrie e.V. (VDA).9 Warning
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin
with AdBlue.
In case of eye or skin contact,
rinse off with water.
Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork with AdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
pre-heater works automatically.
The typical AdBlue consumption is
approx. two litres per 1000 km, but
can also be higher depending on
driving behaviour (e.g. high load or
towing).
Level warnings
If the AdBlue level falls below a
certain value, a level warning (e.g.
"AdBlue Range: 2400 km") will be
shown in the Driver Information
Centre 3 91, located in the centre of
the instrument cluster.
Refill the tank with a volume of at least
10 litres of AdBlue as soon as
possible. Refer to " Refilling AdBlue"
below.
Driving is possible without any
restrictions.

132Driving and operatingIf AdBlue is not refilled within a certaindistance, further level warnings are
shown in the Driver Information
Centre, depending on the current
AdBlue level.
Subsequent requests to refill AdBlue
and finally the announcement that an engine restart will be prevented are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Note
These restrictions are a legal
requirement.At an AdBlue range of 900 km, the following warning messages are
alternately displayed in the Driver
Information Centre:
● AdBlue Low Refill Now
● Engine Restart Prevented in
900 km
Additionally, control indicator Y
flashes continuously.
Engine restarts prevented
Before the prevention of an engine
restart, the following warning
messages are alternately displayed in the Driver Information Centre:
● AdBlue Empty Refill Now
● Engine Will Not Restart
These messages indicate that after
switching off the ignition, an engine
restart will be prohibited.
Additionally, control indicator Y
flashes continuously.
After the prevention of an engine
start, a warning message (e.g. "Refill
AdBlue To Start Vehicle") is displayed
in the Driver Information Centre
reminding the driver that AdBlue level
is insufficient.
To allow the engine to be restarted,
the tank should be filled with at least
10 litres of AdBlue.
High emission warningsIf the exhaust emission rises above a
certain value, warnings similar to the
range warnings as described above
will be displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
Requests to have the exhaust system checked and finally the
announcement that an engine restart
will be prevented are displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.

4. Attach the adapter (located inglovebox) to the filler neck.
5. Open AdBlue canister.
6. Mount one end of the hose on the
canister and screw the other end
on the filler neck adapter.
7. Lift the canister until it is empty. 8. Unscrew the hose from the filler neck adapter.
9. Remove the adapter and return to
its container in the glovebox.
10. Mount the protective cap and turn
clockwise until it engages.
11. Replace the cover.
Note
Dispose of AdBlue canister and
hose according to environmental requirements.
Note
If an AdBlue refill is not detected,
drive continuously for 10 minutes,
keeping vehicle speed above
20 km/h.
If the AdBlue refill is detected
successfully, AdBlue level warnings
will disappear.
If the AdBlue refill is not detected
some time after running the engine,
seek the assistance of a workshop.
Note
If less than 10 litres of AdBlue have
been refilled during the last 2 years,
the remaining fluid should be
exchanged since AdBlue has a
limited durability. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Disregard could lead to damage to
the selective catalytic reduction
system.
Filler cap
Only use genuine filler caps. AdBlue
tank has a special filler cap.Fault
If the system detects an operating
fault, control indicator Y illuminates
together with a warning chime. Seek
the assistance of a workshop
immediately.
A corresponding message may
appear in the Driver Information
Centre 3 91.

Driving and operating143ABS starts to regulate brake pressure
as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
After starting off, the system performs a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 85.
Fault9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS
are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can nolonger be steered and may
swerve.
You can continue driving, provided
you drive with care and anticipation.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Parking brake

e.g. parking with a trailer or on
inclines, pull switch m twice.
The electrical parking brake can
always be activated, even if the
ignition is off.
Do not operate electrical parking
brake system too often without
engine running as this will discharge
the battery.
Before leaving the vehicle, check the
electrical parking brake status.
