depend
s
on
your personal driving style, the temperature
of the system and on the outdoor tempera-
ture when the vehicle is used.
AdBlue
®
freezes at temperatures of -11°C
(+13°F). The system has heating elements
that guarantee its operation even at low tem-
peratures.
The AdBlue
®
tank level capacity is approxi-
mately 12 litres.
The minimum amount to be poured in (as-
suming the tank is empty) is indicated on the
AdBlue
®
sticker located on the floor of the
luggage compartment.
The AdBlue
®
tank should never be empty.
When the distance to empty drops below
2400 km, a warning to refill the AdBlue
®
tank
will appear on the dash panel display
››› page 280. If this information is ignored, it
will later no longer be possible to re-start the
engine ›››
in Introduction on page 279. If
thi
s
warning does not appear, it is not neces-
sary to refill the AdBlue
®

Operations prior to refilling
P
ark
the vehicle on a flat surface. If the vehi-
cle is not parked on a flat surface, but, for ex-
ample, on a slope or on the side of a curb,
the level indicator may not detect the load
properly.
If a warning message about AdBlue
®
levels
appears on the dash panel display, fill at
least the minimum amount required (approx.
5.7 litres). Only after adding this amount will
the system detect that AdBlue
®
has been
added and you will be able to start the en-
gine again. The maximum amount that can
be refilled is 12 litres.
Switch the ignition off. If the ignition is
switched off during refilling, the warning to
refill may continue to appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
