Checking and topping up fluids
Selective catalytic
reduction (AdBLue/DEF)
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with selective catalytic reduction
On vehicles with selective catalytic reduction, a
urea solution (AdBLue/DEF) is injected into the
exhaust system upstream of
a
NOx catalytic
con­

verter in order to reduce nitrogen oxide emis­

sions.
The urea solution is known under the name
of AdBlue or DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid). The term
AdBlue is used below.
The AdBlue is held in a separate tank on the
vehi­

cle.
AdBlue consumption is approximately 1.0 -
2.5% of diesel fuel consumption.
As soon as a message appears in the instrument
cluster display reminding you to refill AdBlue,
you must refill the AdBlue tank or have this done
by
a
qualified workshop
^>page
293.
Checking the remaining range
The remaining (estimated) range for the current

AdBLue
level can be displayed on the on-board
computer:
- Vehicles with analogue instrument cluster

•=>
page 20.
- Vehicles with virtual cockpit*
<$page
19.
-The instrument cluster display will
tell
you
how far you can drive before the tank runs
dry
•=>page
292. If the AdBlue tank runs
dry, the engine cannot be started again af­
ter you switch off the ignition.
-The use of
AdBLue for
the operation of this
vehicle is required by Law.
Instrument cluster display
Applies to: vehicles with selective catalytic reduction

The
display informs you if the AdBlue level is too
low or if a system malfunction occurs.
