topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Filling the adBlue® tank is an operation included in every routine service on
your vehicle by a CITR
o Ë n dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
n
evertheless, given the capacity
of
the
tank,
it
may
be necessary to
top-up the additive between services,
more
particularly
if an alert (warning
lamps
and
a
message) signals the
requirement.
Y
ou can got to a CITR o Ë n dealer
or
a
qualified

If you envisage topping-up yourself,
please read the following warnings
carefully. Precautions in use
The
a dBlue® additive is an urea-based
solution.
This liquid is non-flammable,
colourless
and odourless (kept in a
cool
area).
In
the
event
of contact with the skin,
wash the af
fected area with soap and
water.
In
the
event of contact with the
eyes, wash (irrigate) the eyes with
large
amounts of water or with an eye
wash
solution for at least 15 minutes.
If a burning sensation or irritation
persists,
get
medical attention.
If
swallowed, immediately wash out the
mouth
with
clean water and then drink
plenty
of
water.
In
certain
conditions (high ambient
temperature,
for example), the risk
of
release
of
ammonia cannot be
excluded:
do not inhale the product.
Ammonia
vapour has en irritant effect
on
mucous

and
throat).
