Applies to vehicles: with selective catalytic reduction
Fig. 193 Right rear vehicle side: removing the AdBlue cap
The AdBlue tank opening is located near the diesel
tank opening Add at least 1 gallon (3.8 liters)
of AdBlue. This is the minimum amount required
to ensure the system detects the refilling
and to start the engine. You can fill a maximum
of 6 gallons (23 liters).
Requirement: The request to add AdBlue must
appear in the instrument cluster display.
- Switch the ignition off.
- Open the tank door.
- Turn the tank cap counterclockwise with the lug
wrench from the vehicle tool kit to remove it
> fig. 193.
- Fill the AdBlue with the bottle or
the canister.
WARNING
AdBlue can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory
system. If there is contact with the fluid,
flush immediately with plenty of water. Consult
a physician if necessary.
Note
- Only use AdBlue that conforms to the
standard ISO 22241-1. Do not mix any additives
with the AdBlue and do not dilute it
with water.
- Do not add AdBlue to the diesel tank or add
diesel fuel to the AdBlue tank. Mixing can
lead to damage to the engine and the AdBlue
tank system.
- AdBlue attacks surfaces such as painted vehicle
components, plastic and carpet. Remove the fluid as quickly as possible with
a
damp cloth and plenty of cold water. If the
AdBlue has already crystallized, use warm
water and a sponge. AdBlue residue that is
not removed will crystallize and can damage
the affected surface.
- Do not store refill bottles or canisters permanently
in the vehicle. If the container
leaks, the escaping AdBlue could damage
the vehicle interior.
- Do not allow AdBlue to come into contact
with clothing. If there is contact with the
fluid, flush immediately with plenty of water.
Tips
Follow the AdBlue manufacturer's instructions
for use and storage.
