AdBlue®
When the range is less than 2,000 or 2,400
km (1,200 or 1,500 miles), depending on the
version, a message appears on the instrument
cluster display requesting AdBlue refuelling®.
If this message is ignored, the yellow indicator
light will come on once the range is less than
1,000 km (600 miles) . The indication that
in XXX km (XXX miles) it will no longer be pos-
sible to restart the engine will appear on the
instrument cluster display.
If the yellow indicator lamp is ignored, when
a remaining range of 0km (0 miles) is dis-
played, it will no longer be possible to restart
the engine. The red warning light will come on
.
