   Information 

   Automatic back-siphonage of the reducing agent

   • When the ignition is switched off, the reducing agent is siphoned back out of the metering line for the reducing agent injection valve again into the reducing agent tank. 
   • It is important to wait until the back-siphonage process is completed fully before starting work in this area. This can take up to 10 minutes after switching off the ignition. 
   • Likewise, the battery must not be disconnected until after the back-siphonage process is complete, i.e. 10 minutes after switching off the ignition.
