Use only AdBlue® additive that meets the I

The

This   liquid   is   non-flammable,

and   odourless   (kept   in   a   cool   area).
In

of   contact   with   the   skin,   wash

affected
 
area   with   soap   and   water.   In   the  
e

t

eyes
 
with   large   amounts   of   water   or   with

attention.
If
 
swallowed,   immediately   wash   out   the   mouth  
w

clean
 
water   and   then   drink   plenty   of   water.
In
 
certain

emperature,
  for   example),   the   risk   of   release  
o

Ammonia   vapour   has   en   irritant
