2. Open the tank cap.
3. Fill with fuel.
Only diesel fuel according to DIN EN 590 may be used.

6.4.2 Fill DEF or AdBlue®
DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) is manufactured in compliance
with strict quality standards. Only use a fluid that complies
with ISO 22241 standards.
ATTENTION
It is prohibited to use urea solutions whose properties
differ from those specified.
ATTENTION
Where possible, do not partially fill the tank with par-
tial quantities otherwise a warning light is displayed. If
this warning light comes on you cannot reset it, but it
goes out after several refuelling operations. This does
not affect the functionality.
Only refuel when the filling level of the DEF container is
well below 50% (shown in the display).
