and the Diesel particle ﬁlter (DPF) for the

treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot

function without AdBlue^®ﬂuid.

reserve level (between 1,500 miles and 0 miles

the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid

damage to the engine.

Actions required related to a lack of

AdBlue^®

The following warning lamps light up when the

quantity of AdBlue® is lower than the reserve

level corresponding to a range of 1,500 miles

(2,400 km).

Together with the warning lamps, messages
