How to Turn Off the AdBlue Warning Light?
2 Answers
The AdBlue light is not a malfunction indicator but a maintenance reminder, alerting the vehicle owner to replenish the urea solution. After driving more than 1 kilometer, this light will turn off.
When my diesel car shows the AdBlue light, I've fixed it myself a few times. This light usually indicates a low fluid level—AdBlue is a liquid that reduces exhaust pollution. I immediately pulled over to check the AdBlue tank in the engine bay, and the level gauge showed it was nearly empty. I rushed to a nearby gas station to buy a bottle of AdBlue and refilled it. The tank cap is usually located near the wheels—make sure not to mistakenly pour it into the fuel tank. After topping up, start the car, and the light should go off; if it doesn’t, the sensor might be dirty or there could be a system error requiring a reset. Navigate to the vehicle settings in the dashboard menu and try the reset option. If it fails repeatedly, a visit to the repair shop is necessary. Ignoring it is risky: the car may enter a restricted mode with reduced power or even lock up. I recommend keeping a small bottle of AdBlue in the car for emergencies and checking the fluid level monthly to avoid getting stranded midway.
