How do I know when the AdBlue in my car needs refilling?

I have a Skoda with AdBlue. It has been showing 5500 miles till it needs to be refilled. Currently, the car has covered just over 500 miles, but it's still showing 5500 miles on the AdBlue. Does the counter go down in 500 or 1000 miles at all?

No, it only starts to warn you when there's 1500 miles worth left, then miles left progressively decreases.
