Read the original instructions and the safety instructions before using your vehicle for the first time. Act in accordance with them.

Keep these operating instructions for future reference or for future owners.

Please report any defects or shipping damage identified on the vehicle when it is handed over directly to your dealer or department store.

The following vehicles are described in these operating instructions:

• Device carrier with VM motor (R754EU6C) 75 kW (Euro 6)

  • with DPF and SCR filters

• Device carrier with VM engine (R754ISE5) 54.5 kW (Stage V)

  • with DPF filter

(VM engine Euro 6)

The ATS system consists of a catalytic converter "Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) ", a particle filter"Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) "and a catalytic converter"Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) ". These components burn the collected particles as part of a "regeneration process" and reduce the nitrogen oxides (NOx). Effective regeneration requires that the exhaust gases escape at a high temperature over a period of time. The exhaust gases must have a suitable temperature for regeneration, otherwise the DPF will continuously filter and thereby incurs a risk of becoming clogged. An actively regenerated post-treatment system is used to avoid clogging of the filter.

The exhaust gases of a diesel engine contain nitrogen oxides (NOx), which must be reduced. In accordance with pollutant emission standards, the current post-treatment system has been integrated with an "SCR" system.

The system for reducing the NOx gases consists of a dosing control unit (DCU Box), a tank for the reaction fluid DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid), a DEF injector and a catalytic converter SCR.

The liquid "Diesel Exhaust Fluid "(DEF) or known as AdBlue® as a trade name is pumped through the dosing control unit (DCU box) into the injector. The injector atomizes the liquid in front of the SCR catalytic converter, causing a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction converts the nitrogen oxides (NOx) contained in the exhaust gases into water vapour and nitrogen.

AdBlue® or DEF is a non-toxic, colourless, odourless and non-flammable liquid. It is poured into a special container in the vehicle and injected into the exhaust system to clean the exhaust gases.
