Emission control with AdBlue®
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction
The SCR catalytic converter uses AdBlue® urea solution to convert nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and
water.

AdBlue® is a registered trademark and is also known as AUS32 or DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid).
The AdBlue® consumption figures depend on the driving style, operating temperature and ambient
temperature. The remaining range and refill quantity can be checked on the instrument cluster
display ⇒ Driving data display (multifunction display) .
The AdBlue® tank must never run empty ⇒ . As of a remaining range of approximately 2,400 km,
the instrument cluster display will indicate that the AdBlue® must be refilled ⇒ Troubleshooting .

Refilling AdBlue® with a filler nozzle
The AdBlue® tank can be refilled at all AdBlue® pumps for passenger cars.
The filler nozzle may click off prematurely if filling is performed at a truck filling pump. There is a risk
of AdBlue® spilling out due to the much higher filling speed.
The handle of the filler nozzle must point down during refilling in order to guarantee optimum
filling.
Do not continue filling because the AdBlue® tank can be damaged by overfilling ⇒ .
