Driving and operating165
To restart the engine, the tank must
be filled with AdBlue first.
High emission warnings
If the exhaust emission rises above a
certain value, warnings similar to the
range warnings as described above will be displayed in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC).
Requests to have the exhaust system checked and finally the
announcement to prevent an engine
restart are displayed. These
restrictions are a legal requirement.
Seek your workshop for assistance.
Refilling AdBlueCaution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
Notice
Only use the designated AdBlue canisters for refilling, to prevent a
topping-up of too much AdBlue.
Additionally, the fumes in the tank
are captured in the canister and do
not emerge.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Notice
A volume of at least 5 litres of AdBlue must be added when refilling.
Otherwise the refilling of AdBlue
may not be detected by the system.
If AdBlue must be refilled at
temperatures below -11 °C, the
refilling of AdBlue may not be
detected by the system. In this case, park the vehicle in a space with a
higher ambient temperature until
AdBlue is liquefied.
Notice
When unscrewing the protective cap
from the filler neck, ammonia fumes may emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
The filler neck for AdBlue is located behind the fuel filler flap.
The fuel filler flap is located at right rear side of the vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked.
1. Remove key from ignition lock.
2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia fumes entering the interior of the
vehicle.
3. Pull fuel filler flap at the recess and open 3 209.
206Driving and operating
At speeds below 35 mph the system
is inoperable.
Fault
The lane departure warning system
may not operate properly when:
■ The windscreen is not clean.
■ There are adverse environmental conditions like heavy rain, snow,
direct sunlight or shadows.
The system can not operate when no
lane marking is detected.Fuel
Fuel for petrol enginesOnly use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
Your engine is capable of running
with E10 fuel that fulfills these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10 % bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating 3 275. Use of fuel with
too low an octane rating can reduce
engine power and torque and slightly increases fuel consumption.Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or
equivalent can lead to deposits or
engine damage and may affect
your warranty.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.
Fuel for diesel engines
Only use diesel fuel that complies
with EN 590.
In countries outside the European
Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a
sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.
