Your vehicle has a selective catalytic reductant system.This reduces exhaust emission levels by injecting AdBlue® into the exhaust system.The engine does not start if you tamper with or disable the selective catalytic reductant system.
For the system to correctly operate, you must maintain the fluid level.
Note:   When you switch the engine off the selective catalytic reductant system pump runs for a short period of time. This is normal.
AdBlue® Guidelines
  • Only use AdBlue® certified to ISO-22241.
  • Do not put AdBlue® in the vehicle fuel tank. This can cause engine damage not covered by the vehicle Warranty.
  • Do not put fuel or any additives in the AdBlue® tank. This can cause damage not covered by the vehicle Warranty.
  • Do not overfill the AdBlue® tank.
  • Do not dilute with water or any other liquid.
  • Do not re-use an empty fluid container.
  • Do not store in direct sunlight.
  • Store at temperatures between -5 °C (23 °F) and 20 °C (68 °F).
  • Do not store fluid containers in your vehicle.
  • The fluid is non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless and water-soluble.
  • Immediately remove any residue on painted surfaces when filling with AdBlue®.
Filling the AdBlue® Tank
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Filler Cap
The AdBlue® tank filler pipe is next to the fuel tank filler pipe and has a blue cap.Fill the tank using a fluid pump at an AdBlue® filling station or an AdBlue® container.
Filling in Cold Climates
AdBlue® may freeze when the temperature is below -11 °C (12 °F). Your vehicle has a preheating system which allows the fluid to operate below -11 °C (12 °F).If you overfill the AdBlue® tank and the fluid freezes, it may cause damage not covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Note:   It may not be possible to fully fill the AdBlue® tank when the temperature is below -11 °C (12 °F).
Note:   If the AdBlue® tank is frozen, it could not correctly display the fluid level or recognize when you fill the tank. The AdBlue® level updates when the tank completely thaws out.
Filling the AdBlue® Tank Using a Fuel Station Pump
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not allow diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) to come into contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Should the fluid come into contact with eyes, flush them with plenty of water and seek medical attention. Clean affected skin with soap and water. If swallowed, drink plenty of water and seek medical attention immediately.
WARNING   WARNING:  Refill the diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) tank in a well-ventilated area. When removing the tank cap or a container cap, ammonia vapor may escape. Ammonia vapor is an irritant to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Inhaling ammonia vapor can cause burning to the eyes, throat and nose resulting in watering eyes or severe coughing.

Filling the AdBlue® tank using a fuel station pump is similar to refueling your vehicle.
  1. Fully open the fuel filler door.
Fuel Filler Cap Remove
  1. Remove the AdBlue® tank filler cap.
  1. Fully insert the AdBlue® pump nozzle.
Fuel Filler Fill Angle
  1. Operate the AdBlue® pump nozzle within the area shown.
Note:   The pump nozzle shuts off when the tank is full.
  1. Slightly raise the AdBlue® pump nozzle and then slowly remove it.
  1. Replace the AdBlue® tank filler cap.Turn it clockwise until you feel a strong resistance and it clicks.
Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the AdBlue® tank with incorrect fluid. Incorrect fluid use could cause damage not covered by the vehicle Warranty. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Filling the AdBlue® Tank Using a Container

Checking the AdBlue® Level
  1. Using the information display controls on the steering wheel, select Settings.
  1. Select Information.
  1. Select AdBlue®.
AdBlue® Consumption
AdBlue® consumption is directly related to fuel consumption and is governed by many factors, for example driving style, high speed driving, stop-start driving, air conditioning usage, add-on accessories, payload and towing.The AdBlue® consumption may vary between 1% and 6% of the fuel consumption.
AdBlue® consumption is specified for a vehicle variant and not for a single car.
Selective Catalytic Reductant System Warning Lamp
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level Low  The warning lamp illuminates if the system detects the fluid level is low or if there is a system malfunction.
If the warning lamp illuminates, the information display messages give you an indication whether the concern is fluid related or if there is a selective catalytic reductant system malfunction.If the warning lamp illuminates when your vehicle is moving, and the fluid is at a sufficient level, this indicates a system malfunction. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
