Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C
and deteriorates above 25°C. It is
recommended that 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.
If the additive has frozen, can be used
once it has completely thawed out.
Never store bottles of AdBlue
® in
your vehicle. Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the
vehicle is parked on a flat and level
surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that
the temperature of the vehicle is
above
-11°C. Otherwise, by freezing,
the AdBlue
® cannot be poured into its
tank. Park your vehicle in a warmer
area for a few hours to allow the top-up
to be carried out.
