Topping up the AdBlue ®
additive

additive is spilt outside
of the tank, wash the spillage using
cold water to avoid crystallisation of the
product and damage to surrounding
materials.

®
additive has already
formed crystals, wipe them of with a
sponge and hot water.

you must fill or top up the additive tank as soon

have the AdBlue
® tank filled. If you have to top-up yourself, ensure that the
