Information on low outside temperatures
Re fuel your vehicle with as much winter diesel
fuel as possible at the beginning of winter.
Before changing overto winter diesel fuel, the
fuel tank should be em pty, if possible. When first re
fuelling with winter diesel fuel, only refuel
using a small amount, e.g. toreser veleve l. The
fuel tank can be filled as usual when next refuel‐
ling.
Fu rther information on fuel can be obtained at a
fi lling station or a qualified specialist workshop.

consu mption
Like fuel consu mption, AdBlue ®
consu mption is
highly dependent upon driving style and operat‐
ing conditions. Forth is reason, your vehicle's
actual consum ption figures under normal operat‐
ing conditions may dif fer from the consum ption
fi gures calculated. AdBlue ®
consu mption is
between 1% and 5% of fuel consumption. Ha ve
th eAd Blue ®
supply checked at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop before making journe ysoutside
of Europe. Before a longer stay outside of
Europe, consult a qualified specialist workshop.
