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 ammonia released by
the fluid reacts with nitrous gases
(NO x) from the exhaust and turns it
into nitrogen and water.
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.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. 22 l per 6000 miles to
9000 miles depending on driving behaviour (e.g. high load or towing).
Level warnings
Depending on the calculated range of
AdBlue, different messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The messages and the
restrictions are a legal requirement.
1. The first possible warning is Top
up emissions additive: Starting
prevented in 1500 mi .
When switching on the ignition,
this warning will show up once
briefly with the calculated range.
Additionally, control indicator
B will illuminate and a chime
will sound. Driving is possible
without any restrictions.
2. The next warning level is entered with a range below 500 miles. Themessage with the current range
will always be displayed when
ignition is switched on.
Additionally, control indicator
B will illuminate and a chime
will sound. Refill AdBlue before
entering the next warning level.
When driving, the chime sounds
and the message is displayed
every 60 miles until the AdBlue
tank has been topped-up.
3. The next warning level is entered with a range below 60 miles. The
message with the current range
will always be displayed when
ignition is switched on.
Additionally, control indicator
B will flash and a chime will
sound. Refill AdBlue as soon as
possible before the AdBlue tank is
Page 164 of 289
162Driving and operatingcompletely empty. Otherwise, a
restart of the engine will not be
possible.
When driving, the chime sounds
and the message is displayed
every 6 miles until the AdBlue tank
has been topped-up.
4. The last warning level is entered when the AdBlue tank is empty.
Restart of the engine is not
possible. The following warning
message will be displayed:
Top up emissions additive:
Starting prevented
Additionally, control indicator
B will flash and a chime will
sound.
Refill the tank to a level of at least 5 l of AdBlue, otherwise restarting
of the engine is not possible.
Notice
Depending on the engine different
levels may apply.
High emission warnings
In the event of a fault with the
emissions control system, different
messages are displayed in the DriverInformation Centre. The messages
and the restrictions are a legal
requirement.
1. If a fault is detected for the first time, the warning Emissions fault
is displayed.
Additionally, control indicators
B , C and W will illuminate
and a chime will sound. Driving is
possible without any restrictions.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next
journey, after self-diagnosis of the
emissions control system.
2. If the fault is confirmed by the emission control system, the
following message will be
displayed:
Emissions fault: Starting
prevented in 650 miles .
Additionally, control indicators
B , C and W will illuminate
and a chime will sound.When driving, the message is
displayed every 30 s while the
fault persists.
3. If the last warning level is entered,
the following warning message
will be displayed:
Emissions fault: Startingprevented
Additionally, control indicators
B , C and W will illuminate
and a chime will sound.
Consult a workshop for
assistance.
Refilling AdBlueCaution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
Page 165 of 289
Driving and operating163Notice
Whenever a filling pump with a
nozzle for passenger cars is not
available at a filling station, use only
AdBlue bottles or canisters with a
sealed refill adapter for refilling, to
prevent splashback and overspill,
and in order to ensure that the fumes
from the AdBlue tank are captured
and do not emerge. AdBlue in
bottles or canisters is available in
many filling stations and can be
purchased e.g. at Vauxhall dealers
and other retail outlets.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Notice
Refill the AdBlue tank to a level of at
least 5 l to ensure that the new
AdBlue level is being detected.
In case AdBlue refill is not
successfully detected:1. Continuously drive the vehicle for 10 min making sure that
vehicle speed is always higher
than 12 mph.
2. If AdBlue refill is detected successfully, AdBlue supply-
driven warnings or limitations will
disappear.
If AdBlue refill is still not detected,
seek the assistance of a workshop.
If AdBlue must be refilled at
temperatures below -11 °C, the
refilling of AdBlue may not be
detected by the system. In this
event, park the vehicle in a space
with a higher ambient temperature
until AdBlue is liquified.
Notice
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumesmay emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The AdBlue tank should be filled
completely. This must be done if the
warning message regarding
prevention of an engine restart is
already displayed.The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
1. Remove key from ignition switch.
2. Open the driver's door to access the AdBlue flap.
3. Open the AdBlue flap by inserting
a finger in the slot in the low part
of the flap. Pull the flap to the front.

4. Unscrew protective cap from thefiller neck.
5. Open AdBlue canister.
6. Mount one end of the hose on the
canister and screw the other end
on the filler neck.
7. Lift the canister until it is empty, or
until the flow from the canister has stopped. This can take up to 5
minutes.
8. Place the canister on the ground to empty the hose, wait 15 s.
9. Unscrew the hose from the filler neck.
10. Mount the protective cap and turn
clockwise until it engages.

can cause function problems. Liability
for consequences resulting from the
use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.
Washer fluid Use only washer fluid approved for
the vehicle to prevent damage of
wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and
rubber parts. Consult a workshop.
Brake and clutch fluid Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should therefore be replaced at the specified interval.
AdBlue Only use AdBlue to reduce the
nitrogen oxides in the exhaust

Event data recorders
Electronic control units are installed in
your vehicle. Control units process
data which is received by vehicle
sensors, for example, or which they
generate themselves or exchange
amongst themselves. Some control
units are necessary for the safe
functioning of your vehicle, others
assist you while you drive (driver
assistance systems), while others
provide comfort or Infotainment
functions.
The following contains general
information about data processing in
the vehicle. You will find additional
information as to which specific data
is uploaded, stored and passed on to third parties and for what purpose in
your vehicle under the key word Data Protection closely linked to the
references for the affected functional
characteristics in the relevant
Owner's Manual or in the general
terms of sale. These are also
available online.Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data for
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, e.g.: ● vehicle status information (e.g. speed, movement delay, lateral
acceleration, wheel rotation rate,
"seat belts fastened" display)
● ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor)
As a rule such data is transient, not
stored for longer than an operational
cycle, and only processed on board
the vehicle itself. Control units often
include data storage (including the
vehicle key). This is used to allow
information to be documented
temporarily or permanently on vehicle condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and
technical events and errors.
