level drops to the quantity needed
for
a
range
of
1
500
miles
(2
400
km)
driving, you are warned by dif
ferent
temporary
signals
(warning
lamp,
message,
audible
signal).
As
more
miles
are
covered,
these
signals
intensify
and
the
message
becomes
permanent.
When the

becomes impossible.
It
is
strongly
recommended that you
do not wait for the successive alerts
before topping-up the a

as
possible.

and deteriorates above 25°C
(77°F).

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.
a
dditive that has been frozen can be
used
once it has thawed out in ambient
air
. The
SCR system includes an
a dBlue
® 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 a
dBlue
®
additive.
Park
the
vehicle
in
an
area
at
a
more
moderate
temperature
for
a
few
hours
until

additive
becomes
a
liquid
again.
The

lamp
does not
go
off
immediately,
but
does
so
after a
few
miles
of
driving.
