AdBlue ®
Important notes on use
BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment 24 must
be operated with AdBlue ® reducing agent in
order to function properly. Adding AdBlue ® is
one of the tasks performed during
maintenance. Under normal operating
conditions, a tank of AdBlue
® lasts until the
next service due date.
When the AdBlue
® supply has almost run out,
the Check Additive – See Operator's
Manual message is shown in the
multifunction display.
When the AdBlue
® supply sinks to a minimum
level, the Remaining Starts: 20 message
is shown in the multifunction display.
i When the Remaining Starts: 20
message is shown in the multifunction
display, you can start the engine 20 more
times. If AdBlue
® is not topped up, it is then
not possible to start the engine again. Top
up the AdBlue
® tank with approximately
1 gallon (3.8 l) of AdBlue ® or have the
AdBlue ® tank refilled at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Use the special AdBlue ® refill bottle when
adding between maintenance intervals. For
more information, please contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or
Roadside Assistance if applicable
(
Y page 20).
Further information about BlueTEC exhaust
gas aftertreatment and AdBlue
® is available
at any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
