It may be improper or punishable in some coun‐
tries to operate a vehicle that uses no AdBlue
one that does not comply with the specifications
of these operating instructions.
Engine management monitors the exhaust gas
aftertreatment components for compliance with
emissions laws and regulations. If you attempt to
operate the vehicle without AdBlue
®
AdBlue or with a different reducing agent, this
will be detected by the engine management sys‐
tem. Other emissions-relevant malfunctions, e.g.
metering malfunctions or sensor errors, are also
detected and logged.
The engine management system subsequently
prevents the engine being restarted after issuing
a warning message.
Therefore top up the AdBlue
ing vehicle operation or, at the latest, after
receiving the first warning message via the instru‐
ment cluster.
