| ABS |
ABS: the ABS is a regulation device in the brake system, that prevents the wheels from locking up while braking. Thereby, directional stability and steering ability are retained. |
| ACT |
Active cylinder management (ACT): when driving in the RPM range 1, 400 and 4, 000 RPM and at a speed from up to 130 km/h depending on the gear two of the four cylinders can be perfectly unnoticeably deactivated. On vehicles with active cylinder management (ACT) the fuel consumption and the CO2 emission can be lowered. |

is the abbreviation for the English term "Aqueous Urea Solution" with 32.5 % urea, see AdBlue® |
| AdBlue® |
Is a created name. This fluid is also called "NOx reducing agent AUS 32 ", "AUS 32" or for the USA, "Diesel Exhaust Fluid". AdBlue® is a clear water/urea solution, is used for treating exhaust gas and to reduce nitrogen oxide and particles. AdBlue® is a registered trademark of the Automobile Manufacturers Association (VDA) in the USA, Germany, the European Union and other countries. The AdBlue urea solution is not mixed with diesel fuel but rather it has its own tank in the vehicle. |
