AdBlue
General Information
The selective catalytic reduction
system is a method for substantially
reducing nitrogen oxides in exhaust
emissions. This is achieved by
injecting a diesel exhaust fluid into
the exhaust system. The fluid reacts
with nitrous gases (NOx) from the
exhaust and converts it to harmless
nitrogen and water.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is
commonly known as AdBlue
®
. It is a
non-hazardous, non-flammable and
colourless fluid.
{
Warning
Avoid contact of AdBlue with your
eyes or skin. In a case of eye or
skin contact, rinse off with water.
Caution
Avoid AdBlue contacting the
paintwork. In case of contact,
immediately rinse off with water.
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). You can purchase AdBlue
and receive assistance with refilling
from your dealer.
AdBlue Tank
The AdBlue tank contains level
switches which monitor the amount
of remaining AdBlue fluid.
The AdBlue tank capacity is 18.5
litres.
