Driving and operating

Notice

1. Continuously drive the vehicle

for 10 min making sure that

vehicle speed is always higher

than 12 mph.

2. If AdBlue refill is detected

successfully, AdBlue supply-

driven warnings or limitations will

disappear.

The vehicle must be parked on a level

surface.

The filler neck for AdBlue is located

behind the fuel filler flap, which is

located at left rear side of the vehicle.

If the vehicle is equipped with an

electronic key system, the fuel filler

flap can only be opened if the vehicle

is unlocked.

Whenever a filling pump with a

nozzle for passenger cars is not

available at a filling station, use only

AdBlue bottles or canisters with a

sealed refill adapter for refilling, to

prevent splashback and overspill,

and in order to ensure that the fumes

from the tank are captured and do

not emerge. AdBlue in bottles or

canisters is available in many filling

stations and can be purchased e.g.

at Vauxhall dealers and other retail

outlets.

If AdBlue refill is still not detected,

seek the assistance of a workshop.

1. Remove key from ignition switch.

If AdBlue must be refilled at

temperatures below -11 °C, the

refilling of AdBlue may not be

detected by the system. In this

event, park the vehicle in a space

with a higher ambient temperature

until AdBlue is liquified.

2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia

fumes entering the interior of the

vehicle.

Since AdBlue has a limited

durability, check the date of expiry

before refilling.

3. Release the fuel filler flap by

pushing the flap 3 204.

Notice

Refill the tank to a level of at least

5 l to ensure that the new AdBlue

level is being detected.

When unscrewing the protective cap

from the filler neck, ammonia fumes

may emerge. Do not inhale as the

fumes have a pungent smell. The

fumes are not harmful by inhalation.

In case AdBlue refill is not

successfully detected:

The AdBlue tank should be filled

completely. This must be done if the

warning message regarding

prevention of an engine restart is

already displayed.
