read

 
the

 
following
 
warnings
 
carefully

. Precautions in use
The
 AdBlue® 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
 
tem
-
perature,
 
for

 
example),
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
re
-
lease
 
of

 
ammonia
 
cannot
 
be
 
excluded:
 
do

 
not

 
inhale
 
the
 
product.
 
Ammonia
 
vapour

 
has

 
en
 
irritant
 
ef
fect  
on
 
mucous
 
membranes

 
(eyes,   nose   and   throat).
Keep
 
AdBlue® out of the reach
of
 
children,
 
in
 
its   original   bottle.
Never
 
transfer
 
AdBlue® to an-
other
 container:
 it
 would  loose  
its

 
purity. Use
 
only
 
AdBlue® additive
 that  meets  the
 
ISO
 
22241
 
standard.
Never
 
dilute
 
the
 
additive
 
with
 
water

.
Never
 
pour

 
the
 
additive
 
into
 
the
 
Diesel

 
fuel
 
tank.
The supply  in  a  non-drip  bottle  simplifies  toping-up.
 Y ou  can  obtain  1.89  litre  (half  a  
US

 
gallon)
 
bottles
 
from
 
a
 
CITROËN 
deal-
