AdBlue®17 – checking and topping  
up  
2.  
Check the AdBlue level regularly, and top up if a  
message indicating a low AdBlue Level is dis-  
played.  
Your Volvo workshop can top up AdBlue when  
servicing your car, but depending on your driving  
style, it may still need to be topped up between  
service intervals. You will no longer be able to  
start the car if the AdBlue tank has been allowed  
to run empty.  
AdBlue level graphic: Each cursor represents  
approx. 25% of a full tank. When less than 25% of tank  
capacity remains, the amount of AdBlue that can be top-  
ped up is shown in litres.  
NOTE  
Scroll between menu options using the  
thumbwheel and select AdBlue.  
Never run the AdBlue tank dry. Fill the tank in  
good time before it is empty.  
Filling  
>
If the tank is run dry, it will not be possible to  
start the engine after it is switched off – not  
the regular way or using aids.  
When the AdBlue level starts to  
become low, a symbol comes on in the  
combined instrument panel and a mes-  
sage is displayed.  
The only way to be able to restart after driving  
the tank empty is to refill AdBlue of specified  
quality, with the minimum being the quantity  
shown in the driver display.  
Check the AdBlue level  
1. Open the combined instrument panel menu  
by pressing OK on the left-hand stalk switch.
