Observe the notes on operating fluids
(
/
page 441).
AdBlue
®
is a water-soluble fluid for the NOx
exhaust gas aftertreatment of diesel engines.
It may be improper or punishable in some coun-
tries to operate a vehicle that uses no AdBlue
®
or
one that does not comply with the specifications
of this Owner's Manual.
* NOTE Malfunctions due to the dilution of
AdBlue
®
or the use of additive-enhanced
AdBlue ®
The function of the NOx exhaust gas after-
treatment can be impaired by the use of
unsuitable denoxification agents.
#
Only use AdBlue ® in accordance with
ISO 22241.
#
Do not dilute AdBlue ® with water.
#
Do not use additive-enhanced AdBlue
®
.
* NOTE Damage and malfunctions due to
impurities in AdBlue
®
Consequences of impurities in AdBlue ® :
R
increased emission values
R
damage to the catalytic converter
R
NOx exhaust gas aftertreatment malfunc-
tions
#
Avoid impurities in AdBlue
®
.
AdBlue
®
residues crystallise after a period of
time, and contaminate the surfaces with which
they come into contact. Clean the dirty surfaces
with water as soon as possible.
When you open the AdBlue
®
tank, small amounts
of ammonia vapour may escape. Do not inhale
any ammonia vapours that may be released. Only
fill the AdBlue
®
tank in well-ventilated areas.

AdBlue
®
consumption
The average AdBlue
®
consumption is between 1%
and 5% of fuel consumption. Like fuel consump-
tion, AdBlue
®
consumption is highly dependent
upon driving style and operating conditions. For
this reason, your vehicle's actual consumption fig-
ures in day-to-day operating conditions may differ
from the consumption figures calculated. The fre-
quency at which you will have to top up AdBlue
®
will also vary. Have the AdBlue
®
supply checked
at a qualified specialist workshop before making
journeys outside Europe. Before a longer stay out-
side Europe, consult a qualified specialist work-
shop.
