Ad Blue level indicator

Hello
Can anyone advise on the following.
The Adblue level indicator has disappeared from the dash screen.
I've scrolled through every screen and it is not there anymore.
Any ideas why it has disappeared?

I did think that for a second but diesel costs put that to bed.

I've had the car over a year now but assumed some warning message would come up. But having looked at the manual and various youtube vids, the level indicator in the service screen is absent.

i've never added adblue but my car is a 2018 so it has the bigger adblue tank.
i would buy a small bottle of adblue and put it in the car and then just ignore it untill you get a warning of low level.
the only reason why your car doesn't work without adblue is because of the emission rules. not because it can cause any harm to the car
