Practical tips
AdBlue
®
freezes at temperatures of -11°C
(+13°F). The system has heating elements
that guarantee its operation even at low tem-
peratures.
The AdBlue ® tank level capacity is approxi-
mately 10.4 litres.
The AdBlue
®
tank should never be empty.
When the distance to empty drops below
2400 km, a warning to refill the AdBlue
® tank
will appear on the dash panel display
›››
page 314 . If this information is ignored, lat-
er on it will not be possible to re-start the en-
gine. If this warning does not appear, it is not
necessary to refill the AdBlue
® tank.
AdBlue ® is a registered brand of the German
Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA)
and is also known as AUS32 or DEF (Diesel
Exhaust Fluid).
CAUTION
Filling the AdBlue ® tank excessively can
cause damage to the tank.
Refilling AdBlue ®

AdBlue tank cap.
Operations prior to refilling
Park the vehicle on a flat surface. If the vehi-
cle is not parked on a flat surface, but, for ex-
ample, on a slope or on the side of a curb, the
level indicator may not detect the load prop-
erly.
If a warning message about AdBlue ® levels
appears on the dash panel display, fill at
least the minimum amount required (ap-
prox. 5 litres)
Only after adding this amount
will the system detect that AdBlue ® has been
added and you will be able to start the en-
gine again. The maximum amount that can
be refilled is 11 litres.
Switch the ignition off. If the ignition is not
switched off during refilling, the warning to re-
fill may continue to appear on the instrument
panel display.
