AdBlue
Notes on use
H
Environmental note
®
Dispose of AdBlue in an environmentally
responsible manner.
Topping up AdBlue
! In order to fill the AdBlue
must be parked on a level surface. The
®
AdBlue tank can only be filled as intended
with the vehicle parked on a level surface.
Fluctuations in capacity will thus be avoided.
Filling a vehicle standing on an uneven sur-
face is not permitted. There is a danger of
overfilling, which can cause damage to Blue-
TEC exhaust gas aftertreatment components.
! Surfaces which have come into contact with
®
AdBlue while refilling should be rinsed
immediately with water, or remove AdBlue
with a moist cloth and cold water. If AdBlue
has already crystallised, use a sponge and
cold water to clean the area. AdBlue
crystallises after a certain amount of time and
soils the affected surfaces.
®
! AdBlue is not a fuel additive and must not
be added to the fuel tank. If AdBlue
to the fuel tank, this can lead to engine dam-
age.
®
Have the AdBlue tank refilled at a qualified
specialist workshop. However, you can also top
®
up the AdBlue tank:
with the pump nozzle at an AdBlue
R
pump
®
with AdBlue refill bottles
R
®
with an AdBlue refill canister

If the outside temperature is below -11 † it may
be difficult to top up. If AdBlue
there is an active warning indicator, topping up
may not be possible. Park the vehicle in a warm
place, e.g. in a garage, until AdBlue
become liquid again. Topping up is then possible
again. Alternatively, have the AdBlue
led at a qualified specialist workshop.
