Filling with AdBlue

Operation

Filling with AdBlue

In cases where AdBlue enters the mouth or is swallowed, rinse the mouth with clean water then drink copious amounts of water. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Filling with AdBlue

Note:

An accidental filling of the AdBlue supply tank with diesel fuel and vice versa is prevented by various technical precautionary measures.

Note:

AdBlue is consumed at a rate of approximately 5 % of the rate of diesel fuel consumption. It is recommended that the AdBlue supply tank also be refilled at every regular refuelling stop.

Caution:

Use only AdBlue compliant with DIN 70 070. Special additives are not permitted.

Caution:

If, during a top-up, AdBlue comes into contact with painted or aluminium surfaces, rinse down these surfaces with water immediately.

Note:

AdBlue freezes at a temperature of approximately -11 °C. The bus is equipped with an AdBlue preheating system as standard. Winter operation is thus ensured, even at temperatures below -11 °C.

If the fill level in the AdBlue supply tank falls to approximately 10 %, a yellow alert (1) appears on the display screen. The yellow alert displays

“AdBlue” icon (1.1) and the message

“AdBlue Vorrat zu gering” (AdBlue level too low) (1.2). The driver can acknowledge yellow alert (1) at any time using main menu buttons (1.3) on the steering wheel. AdBlue indicator (2) turns yellow and remains lit to remind the driver that an Ad-

Blue top-up is due. Yellow warning lamp (3) does not go out until the vehicle has been refilled with AdBlue. The driver is informed by an icon on the display screen (1.1) in conjunction with a yellow alert if the AdBlue supply tank runs empty or if there is a malfunction in the BlueTec exhaust gas cleaning system. In this event, it is necessary to top up the AdBlue level without delay or remedy the fault. Fill the supply tank with AdBlue.
