Handling AdBlue
AdBlue consists primarily of water (approx.
67.5% water and 32.5% urea). The fluid is not
flammable but should be handled with care
since it can irritate the eyes and skin.
Points to remember when handling
Avoid inhaling vapour as well as contact with skin
and eyes. Preferably use gloves that prevent irri-
tation to sensitive skin when handling the fluid.
WARNING
Action for first aid:
For inhalation - get fresh air.
•
For skin contact - wash the skin with
•
soap and water.
For contact with the eyes - rinse immedi-
•
ately with a lot of water.
For ingestion - rinse the mouth thor-
•
oughly. Do not induce vomiting.
Seek medical attention if the discomfort
remains or if a large quantity has been inges-
ted.
Action in the event of a spill
AdBlue spilled on the ground, the car or painted
surfaces must be rinsed thoroughly with water.
Avoid releasing into the drainage system.

Checking and filling with AdBlue
Check the AdBlue level regularly and top up if
the message for low AdBlue level is shown in
the driver display.
AdBlue consumption depends on driving style,
which is why filling may be necessary between
the normal service intervals. If the AdBlue tank is
allowed to drain completely then it will no longer
be possible to start the car.

NOTE
Never run the AdBlue tank dry. Fill the tank in
good time before it is empty.
If the tank is run dry, it will not be possible to
start the engine after it is switched off – not
the regular way or using aids.
The only way to be able to restart after driving
the tank empty is to refill AdBlue of specified
quality, with the minimum being the quantity
shown in the driver display.
