The diesel fuel may contain maximum 7% biodiesel (B7 - In Germany in ac-
cordance with DIN 52638, in Austria ÖNORM C 1590, in France EN 590).
Operating under different weather conditions
Use only diesel in accordance with the current or expected weather condi-
tions. Ask the petrol station personnel whether the diesel fuel offered corre-
sponds to these conditions.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of en-

If a different fuel other than diesel fuel, which complies to the above men-

tioned standards (e.g. petrol) is put into the tank, do not start the engine or
switch on the ignition!
The biofuel RME must not be used!

AdBlue
and its refilling
Introduction
In order to reduce pollutant emissions from vehicles with diesel engines and
the SCR catalyst, a urea - AdBlue
on page 261 first.
®
solution is injected into the exhaust system.
®
Only use AdBlue
that corresponds to the standard ISO 22241-1. Do not add
®
additives to AdBlue
.
®
The AdBlue
-consumption depends on driving style, the operating tempera-
ture of the system and on the weather conditions.
®
The AdBlue
-tank filling is about 13 litres.
WARNING
®
AdBlue
can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. If your eyes or skin
come into contact with the AdBlue
area with water. Seek medical assistance if required.
CAUTION

AdBlue
attacks the surface of some materials (e.g. as painted parts, plastics,
fabrics). Clean the areas affected with AdBlue
of cold water. Remove any dried AdBlue
Note

The AdBlue
solution freezes at a temperature of -11° C and lower. The sys-
■
tem has an automatic heater to ensure the operability at low temperatures.
We recommend purchasing AdBlue
