Winter operation can thus be guaranteed
even at temperatures below -11 †.
If you top up AdBlue
®
at temperatures below
-11 †, the AdBlue
®
level in the instrument
cluster may not be displayed correctly. If the
AdBlue
®
is frozen, drive for at least
20 minutes and then park the vehicle for a
minimum of 30 seconds, so that the level is
correctly displayed.
!
Only use AdBlue
®
which meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
Do not mix AdBlue
®
with any additives and do
not dilute AdBlue
®
with water. Exhaust gas
aftertreatment may otherwise not function
correctly and its components may be dam-
aged.
!
In order to fill the AdBlue
®
tank, the vehicle
must be parked on a level surface. The
AdBlue
®
tank can only be filled as intended
with the vehicle parked on a level surface. In
this way, differences in filling quantities can
be avoided.
Filling a vehicle standing on an uneven sur-
face is not permitted. There is a danger of
overfilling. The components of the exhaust
gas aftertreatment system may be damaged
as a result.
!
Immediately rinse off surfaces which come
into contact with AdBlue
®
when topping up or
remove AdBlue
®
with a damp cloth and cold
water. If AdBlue
®
has already crystallised,
clean using a sponge and cold water. AdBlue
®
residue crystallises after a short period and
contaminates the affected surfaces. Further-
more, electrical components in the vicinity
may be damaged by AdBlue
®
.
!
AdBlue
®
is not a fuel additive and must not
be added to the fuel tank. If AdBlue
®
is added
to the fuel tank, this can lead to engine dam-
age.
If you open the AdBlue
®
tank, small amounts of
ammonia vapour may be released.
Ammonia vapours have a pungent smell and are
particularly irritating to skin, mucous mem-
branes and eyes. You may experience a burning
sensation in your nose, throat and eyes. You
may also experience coughing and watery eyes.
Do not inhale ammonia vapours. Only fill the
AdBlue
®
tank in well-ventilated areas.
Do not swallow AdBlue
®
or let it come into con-
tact with skin, eyes or clothing. Keep AdBlue
®
out of the reach of children.
If you or others come into contact with AdBlue
®
,
observe the following:
R
immediately rinse AdBlue
®
off your skin with
soap and water.
R
if AdBlue
®
comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with clean
water. Seek immediate medical attention.
R
if AdBlue
®
is swallowed, immediately rinse
your mouth out thoroughly. Drink plenty of
water. Seek immediate medical attention.
R
change immediately out of clothing that has
come into contact with AdBlue
®
.
When filling the AdBlue
®
tank, completely
empty refill bottles or refill canisters where pos-
sible to avoid transporting opened refill contain-
ers in the vehicle.
Additional information on AdBlue
®
can be found
under "Service products and capacities"
(

®
AdBlue
®
is available at numerous filling stations
or qualified specialist workshops in AdBlue
®
refill canisters or AdBlue
®

AdBlue
®
tank can also be filled using the
AdBlue
®
