Like fuel consum ption, AdBlue ®
consu mption is
high lydependent upon driving style and operating
conditions. AdBlue ®
consu mption is usually within
a ra nge of 1 and 5% of the fuel consum ption. If necessar
y,Ad Blue ®
must be re/lled in acco rdance
with the inst ructions when there /ll message is dis-
pla yed in the inst rument cluster. This may also be
necessary between the scheduled maintenance.
