and could be fatal if inhaled.

If exhaust gases enter the interior

of the vehicle, open the windows.

Have the cause of the fault

rectified by a workshop.

Avoid driving with an open load

compartment, otherwise exhaust

gases could enter the vehicle.

Caution

After running at high engine

speeds or with high engine loads,

operate the engine briefly at a low

load or run in neutral for

approx. 30 seconds before

switching off, in order to protect

the turbocharger.

Exhaust filter

Automatic cleaning process

The exhaust filter system filters soot

particles out of the exhaust gases.

The start of saturation of the exhaust

filter is indicated by the temporary

illumination of % or C,

accompanied by a message in the

Driver Information Centre.

As soon as the traffic conditions

permit, regenerate the filter by driving

at a vehicle speed of at least 40 mph

AdBlue

General information

The selective catalytic reduction

(BlueInjection) is a method to

substantially reduce the nitrogen

oxides in the exhaust emission. This

is achieved by injecting a Diesel

Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust

system. The ammonia released by

the fluid reacts with nitrous gases

(NO_x) from the exhaust and turns it

On a new vehicle, the first exhaust

be accompanied by a burning smell,

which is normal. Following

Fuel grades other than those listed

on pages 3 201, 3 260 could

The designation of this fluid is

AdBlue^®. It is a non-toxic, non-

flammable, colourless and odourless

fluid which consists of 32% urea and

68% water.

additive level is too low.

The reservoir must be topped-up

without delay. Seek the assistance of

a workshop.

In the event of misfiring, uneven

engine running, a reduction in engine

performance or other unusual

problems, have the cause of the fault

rectified by a workshop as soon as

possible. In an emergency, driving

can be continued for a short period,

keeping vehicle speed and engine

speed low.
