What to Do If You Run Out of AdBlue

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: AdBlue warning light

In this video, our YouTuber gives some advice on what to do if you run out of AdBlue: first, DO NOT turn off the engine as this will prevent the system from restarting. You need to go to the nearest workshop, where they can restart the vehicle using the diagnostic system (and, of course, adding the additive) and clear the fault. If the vehicle is running slower, don’t worry: it has simply entered recovery mode, but this does not cause any damage to the mechanics, as the AdBlue system is external. If the car is already off, try refilling the AdBlue; perhaps yours is one of the (rare) vehicles that will restart without resetting the error. Otherwise, you will need to call the workshop, which will have to come with diagnostic equipment to unlock the car. However, the best system is to never run out of AdBlue!

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
