Keep AdBlue® out of the reach
of children, in its original
container.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would loose its purity.
Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
Recommendations on storage
never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the AdBlue
® additive
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C
(12.2° F) and deteriorates above 25°C.
It is recommended that containers and
bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the additive
can be kept for at least a year.
Additive has been frozen can be used
once it has thawed out in ambient air. The SCR system includes an
AdBlue
® tank heater that ensures
operation of the vehicle in normal
conditions.
In exceptional situations, such as when
the vehicle is kept at temperatures
below -15°C (5°F) for a long period, an
emission fault alert may be related to
freezing of the AdBlue
® additive.
Park the vehicle in an area at a more
moderate temperature for a few hours
until the additive becomes a liquid
again.
The emissions warning lamp does not
go off immediately, but will occur after
a few miles of driving.
