A special refill bottle is needed in order to fill the tank with AdBlue.

The AdBlue filler neck is located immediately beside the diesel filler neck. Add at least the amount of AdBlue displayed in the instrument cluster. If you do not refill this amount of fluid, the system may not detect that the tank has been refilled and it may not be possible to restart the engine. You can refill with a maximum of 15 litres.
Opening the filler neck and refilling AdBlue from the bottle
Important: A message in the instrument cluster display informs you if you need to refill AdBlue.
Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Switch off the ignition.
Open the tank flap link►
.
Unscrew the cap on the filler neck anti-clockwise Fig. 305►
.
Take the cap off the refill bottle.
Screw the refill bottle clockwise onto the filler neck as far as it will go.
To empty the bottle, lightly press the bottom of the bottle. Keep pressing the bottom of the bottle until the bottle is empty, or until no more fluid runs into the tank.
Unscrew the bottle anti-clockwise without applying pressure.
Closing the filler neck
Screw the AdBlue cap clockwise onto the filler neck until the AdBlue cap clicks audibly.
Press the left side of the flap to close it (you should hear it click into place).
After refilling
The vehicle must be driven so that the system can detect the AdBlue which has been added. This process can take several minutes.
If the AdBlue tank had run dry and a range of
0 km was shown on the display, switch on the ignition for approx. 30 seconds before starting the engine.
WARNING
AdBlue can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory organs. Wash thoroughly with clean water should you come into contact with this fluid. Seek medical assistance if needed.
CAUTION
- Use only AdBlue that complies with the ISO 22241-1 standard. Do not mix AdBlue with additives and do not dilute it with water.
- AdBlue must not be added to the diesel tank, and diesel must not be added to the AdBlue tank. Never start the engine if you fill up with the wrong type of fuel, as this could damage the tank system and the engine. Obtain professional assistance.
- AdBlue attacks surfaces such as paintwork, plastic veneer and carpets. Remove spilt fluid as soon as possible with a damp cloth and plenty of water. If the AdBlue has already solidified, use warm water and a sponge. Residues of AdBlue solidify after a while if they are not removed and can damage the affected surface.
- Do not carry refill bottles in the vehicle all the time, as leaking AdBlue can damage the vehicle interior.
- Keep AdBlue away from clothing. Wash thoroughly with clean water should you come into contact with this fluid.
- Use only refill bottles of the correct type approved for your vehicle. AdBlue may leak out if you use another system.
Note
- Please follow the AdBlue manufacturer s instructions for storage and use.
- Refill bottles are available from qualified workshops.
- Approved refill bottles contain about 1.9 litres of AdBlue.
- AdBlue can freeze at very low temperatures. In this case, the system will not detect AdBlue when you refill and will continue to indicate a low AdBlue level. The message will disappear as soon as the tank has thawed.
