EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
•
Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains colour-
less and odourless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
•
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fully
open, and have the vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.
•
Do not run the engine in closed spaces such as
a garage.
•
Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for an extended period of time.
•
If electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass to a trailer through the seal of the
body, follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations to prevent carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle.
•
If a special body or other equipment is added
for recreational or other usage, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle. (Some
recreational vehicle appliances such as stoves,
refrigerators, heaters, etc. may also generate
carbon monoxide.)
•
The exhaust system and body should be in-
spected by a qualified mechanic whenever:
– Your vehicle is raised while being serviced.
– You suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing into the passenger compartment.
– You notice a change in the sound of the ex-
haust system.
– You have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
AdBlue® SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTION (SCR) SYSTEM
AdBlue® or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), is a non-toxic
solution of 32.5% urea in de-ionized water. This fluid
is sprayed into the exhaust system of diesel vehicles
to cause a chemical reaction that breaks down po-
tentially dangerous NOx (nitrogen oxides) emissions
into harmless nitrogen and water. This system is
called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). AdBlue®
fluid is not a fuel additive and is never mixed with
diesel fuel. It is always stored in a separate tank on
the vehicle.
The use of AdBlue® is mandatory for the vehicle to
comply with the certificate of conformity issued.
AdBlue® will begin to freeze below -11°C (12°F). If you
often drive in areas where the temperature is below
-11°C (12°F), the AdBlue® tank should always be filled
with AdBlue® at the beginning of the cold season to
ensure enough defrosting capacity with heating.
AdBlue® status
You can check the AdBlue® fluid level in the tank, or
the system fault status using the [Maintenance] op-
tion in the [Settings] menu in the vehicle informa-
tion display, see “Settings” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.
If you select the [AdBlue Status] option when there
is a system fault present, an [AdBlue fault] warning
will be displayed, see “AdBlue® fault” later in this sec-
tion.
If there are no system faults present, one of the fol-
lowing messages will be displayed, depending upon
the level of fluid in the tank, and whether your dis-
play is set to km/h or MPH:
