ease note the information on the inside of
the fuel tank flap.
We recommend you use Diesel according to
standard EN 590.
The diesel can thicken at very low tempera-
tures, thus affecting the start or operation of
the engine. Ask your service station attendant
if their diesel is suitable for winter use.

heating oil, other fuels or thinning agents

fuel system and the engine.

start the engine under any circumstances.
Risk of damaging the fuel system and the
engine! Obtain technical assistance.
AdBlue®
Inf
ormation about AdBlue®
In vehicles with “Selective Catalytic
R
eduction”, a special ur
ea solution (AdBlue) is
injected into the exhaust gas system in front
of the catalytic converter to reduce nitrogen
oxide emissions.
AdBlue® consumption depends on your per-
sonal driving style, the temperature of the
system and the outdoor temperature when
the vehicle is used.
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 has a capacity of approx.
17 litres.
When the range is less than 2400 km the
instrument cluster screen displays a message
requesting an AdBlue® refill.
If this message is ignored, the yellow warning
lamp will come on when the remaining
range is less than 1000 km. . The indica-
tion that in XXX km it will no longer be possible
to restart the engine will appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
If the yellow indicator lamp is ignored, when
remaining range of 0 km is displayed, it will
no longer be possible to restart the engine.
The red warning lamp will light up .
AdBlue® is a registered trademark of the Ger-
man Association of the Automotive Industry
(VDA) and is also known as AUS32 or DEF
(Diesel Exhaust Fluid).
WARNING
If the AdBlue fill level is too low, the vehicle
may not rest
art after switching the ignition
off. The emergency start or jump start will
not be possible either
!
●
Top up with AdBlue at the latest 1,000 km
or 600 miles before it runs out.
●
Do not allow the AdBlue to run too low.
WARNING
AdBlue is an irritant, corrosive liquid that
can cause injuries if it t
ouches the skin,
eyes or r
espiratory organs.

If AdBlue get in contact with eyes and
skin, rinse for at least 15 minutes with plen-
ty of water and seek medical help.

AdBlue damages surfaces such as painted
vehicl
e parts, plastic, items of clothing and
carpets. Spilt AdBlue should be removed as
quickly as possible using a damp cloth and
plenty of cold water.

If the AdBlue has crystallised, remove
with warm water and a sponge.
