The capacities and position of the tanks depend on the vehicle type.
AdBlue®
AdBlue® is a non-flammable, non-toxic,
colourless, odourless and water-soluble
liquid.
AdBlue® is a liquid consisting of 32.5%
urea and 67.5% water.
D005535-2
AdBlue® must meet the specifications according to DIN 70070.
High temperatures
If AdBlue® is heated in the tank to 50°C over a long period of time, the decom-
posing AdBlue® can produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia vapours have a pun-
gent odour. For this reason, avoid inhaling possible ammonia vapours escap-
ing when unscrewing the AdBlue® filler cap. These concentrations of ammonia
vapours are neither toxic nor hazardous to health.
Low temperatures
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures of approximately -11°C.
