Exhaust gas aftertreatment
The exhaust gas aftertreatment system must be
operated in conjunction with DEF if it is to func‐
tion correctly.
If you operate the vehicle without DEF or with
emissions-relevant malfunctions, the legal operat‐
ing permit is invalidated. You will then probably
no longer be permitted to operate the vehicle on
public roads.
Engine management monitors the exhaust gas
aftertreatment components for compliance with
emissions laws and regulations. If you attempt to
operate the vehicle without DEF, with diluted DEF
or with a different reducing agent, this will be
detected by the engine management system.
Other emissions-relevant malfunctions, e.g.
metering or sensor malfunctions, are also detec‐
ted and logged.
The engine management system subsequently
prevents the engine being restarted after issuing
a warning message.
Therefore add DEF tank regularly during vehicle
operation or, at the latest, after receiving the first
warning message via the instrument cluster.
