Driving and operating155AdBlue
General information
The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) is a method to
substantially reduce the nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust emission. This
is achieved by injecting a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust
system. The ammonia released by
the fluid reacts with nitrous gases
(NO x) from the exhaust and turns it
into nitrogen and water.
The designation of this fluid is
AdBlue ®
. It is a non-toxic, non-
flammable, colourless and odourless
fluid which consists of 32% urea and
68% water.9 Warning
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin
with AdBlue.
In case of eye or skin contact,
rinse off with water.
Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork with AdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue preheater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
preheater works automatically.
Note
Frozen and again liquefied AdBlue is usable without quality loss.
The typical AdBlue consumption is
approx. 0.85 l per 1000 km, but can
also be higher depending on driving
behaviour (e.g. high load or towing).
Level warnings
Depending on the calculated range of AdBlue, different messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The messages and the
restrictions are a legal requirement.
1. The first possible warning is Top
up emissions additive: Starting
prevented in 2400 km .
When switching on the ignition,
this warning will show up once
briefly with the calculated range.
Additionally, control indicator u
will illuminate and a chime will
sound. Driving is possible without
any restrictions.
2. The next warning level is entered with a range below 800 km. The
message with the current range
will always be displayed when
ignition is switched on.
Additionally, control indicator u
will illuminate and a chime will
sound. Refill AdBlue before
entering the next warning level.
When driving, the chime sounds
and the message is displayed
every 100 km until the additive
tank has been topped-up.
3. The next warning level is entered with a range below 100 km. Themessage with the current range
will always be displayed when
ignition is switched on.

156Driving and operatingAdditionally, control indicator u
will flash and a chime will sound. Refill AdBlue as soon as possible
before the AdBlue tank is
completely empty. Otherwise, a
restart of the engine will not be
possible.
When driving, the chime sounds
and the message is displayed
every 10 km until the additive tank
has been topped-up.
4. The last warning level is entered when the AdBlue tank is empty.
Restart of the engine is not
possible. The following warning
message will be displayed:
Top up emissions additive:
Starting prevented
Additionally, control indicator u
will flash and a chime will sound.
Refill the tank to a level of at least
5 l of AdBlue, otherwise restarting
of the engine is not possible.
Note
For D16DT engines, different levels
apply.High emission warnings
In the event of a fault with the
emissions control system, different messages are displayed in the Driver Information Centre. The messages
and the restrictions are a legal
requirement.
1. If a fault is detected for the first time, the warning Emissions fault
is displayed.
Additionally, control indicators u,
R and Z will illuminate and a
chime will sound. Driving is
possible without any restrictions.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next
journey, after self-diagnosis of the emissions control system.
2. If the fault is confirmed by the emission control system, thefollowing message will be
displayed:
Emissions fault: Starting
prevented in 1100 km .
Additionally, control indicators u,
C and Z will illuminate and a
chime will sound.When driving, the message is
displayed every 30 s while the
fault persists.
3. If the last warning level is entered,
the following warning message
will be displayed:
Emissions fault: Starting
prevented
Additionally, control indicators u,
C and Z will illuminate and a
chime will sound.
Consult a 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.

Driving and operating157Note
Whenever a filling pump with a
nozzle for passenger cars is not
available at a filling station, use only
AdBlue bottles or canisters with a
sealed refill adapter for refilling, to
prevent splashback and overspill,
and in order to ensure that the fumes
from the tank are captured and do
not emerge. AdBlue in bottles or
canisters is available in many filling
stations and can be purchased e.g.
at Opel dealers and other retail
outlets.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Note
Refill the tank to a level of at least
5 l to ensure that the new AdBlue
level is being detected.
In case AdBlue refill is not
successfully detected:1. Continuously drive the vehicle for 10 min making sure that
vehicle speed is always higher
than 20 km/h.
2. If AdBlue refill is detected successfully, AdBlue supply-
driven warnings or limitations will
disappear.
If AdBlue refill is still not detected,
seek the assistance of a workshop.
If AdBlue must be refilled at
temperatures below -11 °C, the
refilling of AdBlue may not be
detected by the system. In this
event, park the vehicle in a space
with a higher ambient temperature
until AdBlue is liquified.
Note
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumesmay emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The AdBlue tank should be filled
completely. This must be done if the
warning message regarding
prevention of an engine restart is
already displayed.The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
The filler neck for AdBlue is located behind the fuel filler flap, which is
located at left rear side of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with an
electronic key system, the fuel filler
flap can only be opened if the vehicle
is unlocked.
1. Remove key from ignition switch.
2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia fumes entering the interior of the
vehicle.
3. Release the fuel filler flap by pushing the flap 3 207.

158Driving and operating4. Unscrew protective cap from thefiller neck.
5. Open AdBlue canister.
6. Mount one end of the hose on the
canister and screw the other end
on the filler neck.
7. Lift the canister until it is empty, or
until the flow from the canister has stopped. This can take up to five
minutes.
8. Place the canister on the ground to empty the hose, wait 15 s.
9. Unscrew the hose from the filler neck.
10. Mount the protective cap and turn
clockwise until it engages.
Note
Dispose of AdBlue canister
according to environmental
requirements. Hose can be reused
after flushing with clear water before
AdBlue dries out.Automatic transmission

258Service and maintenancefor consequences resulting from the
use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.
Washer fluid Use only washer fluid approved for
the vehicle to prevent damage of wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and
rubber parts. Consult a workshop.
Brake fluid
Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified interval.
AdBlue Only use AdBlue to reduce the
nitrogen oxides in the exhaust
emission 3 155.

and privacy
Event data recorders
Electronic control units are installed in
your vehicle. Control units process
data which is received by vehicle
sensors and other components, or
which they generate themselves or
exchange amongst themselves.
Some control units are necessary for
the safe functioning of your vehicle,
others assist you while you drive
(driver assistance systems), while
others provide comfort or
infotainment functions.
The following contains general
information about data processing in
the vehicle. You will find additional
information as to which specific data
is uploaded, stored and passed on to third parties and for what purpose in
your vehicle under the key word Data Protection closely linked to the
references for the affected functional
characteristics in the relevant
Owner's Manual or in the general
terms of sale. These are also
available online.Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data for
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, e.g.: ● vehicle status information (e.g. speed, movement delay, lateral
acceleration, wheel rotation rate,
"seat belts fastened" display)
● ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor)
As a rule such data is transient, not
stored for longer than an operational
cycle, and only processed on board
the vehicle itself. Control units often
include data storage (including the
vehicle key). This is used to allow
information to be documented
temporarily or permanently on vehicle condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and
technical events and errors.
