On-Board Diagnostics System  
WARNING: Do not park, idle or  
drive your vehicle on dry grass or other  
dry ground cover. The emission system  
heats up the engine compartment and  
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.  
Your vehicle has an on-board diagnostics  
system that monitors the emission control  
system. If any of the following warning  
lamps illuminate, this may indicate that  
the on-board diagnostics system has  
detected an emission control system  
malfunction.  
WARNING: The normal operating  
temperature of the exhaust system is  
very high. Never work around or attempt  
to repair any part of the exhaust system  
until it has cooled. Use special care when  
working around the catalytic converter.  
The catalytic converter heats up to a very  
high temperature after only a short  
period of engine operation and stays hot  
after the engine is switched off.  
WARNING: Exhaust leaks may  
result in entry of harmful and potentially  
lethal fumes into the passenger  
Continuing to drive your vehicle may cause  
reduced power or the engine to stop.

cause component damage not covered by

checked as soon as possible.  
compartment. If you smell exhaust  
fumes inside your vehicle, have your  
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not  
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.  
See Warning Lamps and Indicators  
(page 104).  
Your vehicle has various emission control  
components and a catalytic converter that  
enables it to comply with applicable  
exhaust emission standards.

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.  
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter:  
Do not crank the engine for more than  
10 seconds at a time.  
Do not run the engine with a spark plug  
lead disconnected.  
Do not push-start or tow-start your  
vehicle. Use booster cables. See Jump  
Starting the Vehicle (page 345).  
Do not switch the ignition off when your  
vehicle is moving.  
Do not use leaded fuel.  
Avoid running out of fuel.

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  
E204215  
liquid.  
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.  
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,  
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

Immediately remove any residue on  
painted surfaces when filling with  
AdBlue®.  
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: 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: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.

4. Operate the AdBlue® pump nozzle  
within the area shown.  
Note: The pump nozzle shuts off when the  
tank is full.  
5. Slightly raise the AdBlue® pump nozzle  
and then slowly remove it.  
6. 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 fuel  
station pump is similar to refueling your  
vehicle.

AdBlue® Consumption  
3. Remove the AdBlue® tank filler cap.  
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.  
4. Insert the spout into the AdBlue® tank  
filler pipe until the seal on the spout  
fully seats.  
5. Pour the fluid into the tank.  
Note: The fluid stops flowing when the  
tank is full.  
6. Return the container to the vertical  
position slightly below the AdBlue®  
tank filler pipe.  
AdBlue® consumption is specified for a  
vehicle variant and not for a single car.
