Information on AdBlue
In vehicles with "Selective Catalytic Reduc-
tion", a special urea solution (AdBlue) is in-
jected into the exhaust gas system in front of
the catalytic converter to reduce nitrogen ox-
ide emissions.
The consumption of AdBlue depends on indi-
vidual driving style, the temperature at which
the system operates and the outside temper-
ature where the vehicle is driven.
AdBlue is kept in an independent tank in the
vehicle and should be refilled at an official
supplier. The AdBlue tank holds about 17 li-
tres.
A message will be displayed on the dash
panel around 2,400 km before the next serv-
ice to indicate that AdBlue must be refilled
›››
page 213. If you ignore this message and
do not refill, you will be unable to start the
›››
engine afterwards page 212.
SEAT recommends contacting a specialised
workshop. If not possible, it should be parti-
ally filled with a minimum 10 litres of AdBlue.
Checking and refilling levels
Only refill using AdBlue expressly approved
by SEAT.
When the indicators  and  light simulta-
neously, there is a fault. SEAT recommends
in Control
visiting the closest specialised workshop.
AdBlue ® is a registered trademark in the US,
Germany, the European Union and other
countries belonging to the German automo-
bile industry ("Verband der Automobilindus-
trie e. V.", VDA).

To refill AdBlue, the vehicle must be on flat
ground and not, for example, parked on a
kerb or slope. If the vehicle is not on flat
ground then the filling indicator cannot
measure the filling quantity.
