AdBlue
General information
The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) is a method to
substantially reduce the nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust emission. This
is achieved by injecting a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust
system.
The designation of the used DEF is
AdBlue Ⓡ 1) . It is a non-toxic, non-
flammable, colourless and odourless
fluid which consists of 32 % urea and
68 % water.

9 Warning
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin
with AdBlue.
In case of eye or skin contact,
rinse off with water.
Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork with
AdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with
water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
pre-heater works automatically.
Level warnings
The AdBlue consumption is approx.
0.7 litres per 1000 km and depends
on the driving behaviour.
Driving and operating
If the AdBlue level falls below a
certain value, a level warning Exhaust
Fluid Range: 2400 km will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC).
A volume of at least 5 litres of AdBlue
must be refilled immediately.
Driving is possible without any
restrictions.
If AdBlue is not refilled within a certain
distance, further level warnings are
displayed in the DIC depending on
the current AdBlue level. The
warnings announce restrictions,
