consumables should be changed at a speci-
alised w orkshop
. T
echnical services are per-
manently informed of any modifications. WARNING
The incorrect use or handling of fluids or
consumables may r esult in accident, seri-

Checking and refilling levels
Selective catalytic reduc-
tion* (AdBlue) Intr oduction In vehicles with “Selective Catalytic Reduc-
tion”, a special urea solution (AdBlue) is injec-
t
ed int
o the exhaust gas system in front of the
catalytic converter to reduce nitrogen oxide
emissions.
The consumption of AdBlue depends on indi-
vidual driving style, the temperature at which
the system operates and the outside temper-
ature where the vehicle is driven.
AdBlue is kept in an independent tank in the
vehicle and should be refilled at an official
supplier. The AdBlue tank holds approximate-
ly 17 litres.
The AdBlue fill level must be checked when
the vehicle is being serviced. WARNING
If the AdBlue fill level is too low, the vehicle
may not rest ar

t after switching the ignition
off. The emergency start or jump start will
not be possible either!

Checking and refilling levels
A suitable brake fluid can be obtained from
t echnical service centr
es.
Br
ake fluid level
The level of the brake fluid reservoir should
always be between the  and  marks, or
above the  mark
