Fig. 164 AdBlue tank with filler neck cap 1 and refill bottle 2.

x Vertically insert the neck of the refill container (2) into the AdBlue tank filler neck and turn clock-wise to hand-tighten.
x Press the refill container in the direction of the tank filler neck and keep pressed.
x Add at least 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of AdBlue, which is 2 refill bottles. Adding a smaller amount is not sufficient.
x Wait until the contents of the refill container have flowed into the AdBlue tank. Do not squeeze or damage the refill container!
x Unscrew the refill container counterclockwise and lift it out carefully ⇒ .
x AdBlue stops flowing from the refill bottle when the AdBlue tank is completely full.
Closing the fuel filler neck
x Screw the fuel filler neck cap (1) clockwise onto the fuel filler neck until the cap locks into place.
x Close the cover.
Things to do before driving again
x After refilling, switch on only the ignition.
x Leave the ignition switched on for at least 30 seconds so that system can detect the refill.
x Do not start the engine for 30 seconds!
WARNING
Store AdBlue only in its closed original container and in a safe place.
x To reduce the risk of poisoning, never keep AdBlue in empty food or beverage containers that might mislead someone into drinking from them.
x Always store AdBlue outside the reach of children.
NOTICE
x Use only AdBlue or any Diesel Exhaust Fluid that expressly conforms to International Or-ganization for Standardization specification ISO 22241-1. Using a DEF that does not meet the requirements of ISO 22241-1 can seriously damage your vehicle’s engine.
x Never mix water or any other substances or additives with AdBlue. Damage caused by such additives will not be covered by any Volkswagen limited warranty.
x Never put AdBlue into the diesel fuel tank! Otherwise the engine may be damaged!
x Do not carry a refill container in the vehicle all the time or routinely. Due to temperature fluctuations and damage, the container could start leaking and the AdBlue could damage the vehicle interior.
Dispose of the refill container in an environmentally-responsible manner.
Appropriate AdBlue refill containers can be obtained from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
