AdBlue ® (diesel engine only)
The BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment
system requires a reducing agent (AdBlue
® )
in order to function properly. Refilling with
AdBlue
® is part of the regular maintenance
service work. A tankful of AdBlue ® should
suffice until the next maintenance service
under normal driving conditions.
When the AdBlue
® tank is low, the message
Check Additive see Operator’s
Manual appears in the multifunction display.
When the AdBlue ® level drops to the
minimum level, the message Remaining
Starts: 20 appears in the multifunction
display.
i When the message Remaining Starts:
20 appears in the multifunction display, you
can start the engine 20 more times. If you
do not add AdBlue
® , the engine cannot be
started beyond that point. Fill the
AdBlue
® tank with approximately 1 gal
(3.79 l) AdBlue ® (corresponds to
approximately 2 AdBlue ® refill containers)
or have the AdBlue ® tank filled by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
i For refilling outside the maintenance
service intervals, refill the AdBlue ® tank
with approximately 1 gal (3.79 l) AdBlue ®
(corresponds to approximately 2 AdBlue ®
refill containers).
Always use the particular AdBlue ® refill
containers for refilling outside the
maintenance service interval. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or call
Roadside Assistance if necessary
(
