Operations prior to refilling
Park the vehicle on a flat surface. If the vehi-
tank
cle is not parked on a flat surface, but, for ex-
ample, on a slope or on the side of a curb,
the level indicator may not detect the load
properly.
If a warning message about AdBlue
appears on the dash panel display, fill at
least the minimum amount required (approx.
5.7 litres). Only after adding this amount will
the system detect that AdBlue
added and you will be able to start the en-
gine again. The maximum amount that can
be refilled is 12 litres.
Switch the ignition off. If the ignition is
switched off during refilling, the warning to
refill may continue to appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
