Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. There remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in
the tank. When the warning lamp
flashes, there is ver y little fuel left .
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
Removing the filler cap may cause an
inrush of air. This vacuum is per fectly
normal and results from the sealing of
the system.

If any AdBlue® fluid is split or splashed
on to you, wash immediately with cold
water or wipe yourself with a clean
damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off using a sponge and hot water.
Precautions to take
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets
the ISO 22241 standard.
The AdBlue
® additive is an urea-based
solution.
This liquid is non-flammable, colourless and
odourless.
To be kept in a cool area. After filling the additive tank, observe the
following procedure:
-
Switch on the ignition without starting.
- Wait 10 seconds before starting the engine.
Never dispose of empty AdBlue
®
containers and bottles in the household
waste.
Place them in a special container
provided this purpose or take them to
your dealer. Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and
level surface.
Parking
F
Switch off the ignition and remove the key.
In the event of an over flow, wipe around the
filler mouth using a damp cloth.
In wintry conditions, ensure that
the temperature of the vehicle is
above -11°C. Other wise, 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.

Important: in the event of a top-up
after a breakdown because of a lack
of additive , signalled by the message
"Top up emissions additive: Starting
prevented", you must wait around
5 minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver's door,
locking the vehicle or introducing the
key into the ignition switch .
Switch on the ignition, then, after
10 seconds, start the engine.
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.
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Recommendations on
storage
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,
there may be an emission fault alert
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 does so after a
few miles of driving.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
additive
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C (12.2°F)
and deteriorates above 25°C (77°F).
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 that has been frozen can be
used once it has thawed out in ambient
a i r.
