Maintenance and Care
harmless nitrogen (N2) and water
vapour (H2O), two natural components
of the air we breathe.
This system consists of the following
components:
• AdBlue
® tank with pump;
• injector with electronically-heated
lines;
• NOx sensors;
• temperature sensors;
• SCR catalyst.
The engine and exhaust
aftertreatment system work together
to meet the Emission standards. The
system manages engine combustion
to allow the exhaust system’s catalytic
converter to trap and burn Particulate
Matter (PM) pollutants. The AdBlue
®
injection system reduces nitrogen
oxide (NOx) emissions to a minimum so
as to meet Euro VI requirements.
The injection of AdBlue
®
and SCR
catalyst as well as help to reduce
pollution, do not have effect on
consumption, performance and
driveability.
NOTE:
• The AdBlue ® injection system may
sometimes produce a ticking sound,
audible when the vehicle stops. This
is normal operation.
• The pump will run for a period of
time after engine shutdown to purge
the AdBlue
® injection system. This
is normal operation and may be
audible from the rear of the vehicle.
The control system visualizes messages
on the TFT display to alert the driver
when regeneration treatment and
/or AdBlue
®
refilling is necessary
or when the vehicle shall be taken
to the
Service Network . Refer to
chapter “Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further information.
