❒if during the topping up, the level of
AdBlue in the bottle does not drop,
it means that you have reached
the full tank, therefore proceed pulling
the bottle towards you in order to
re-lock the safety valve of the bottle
and unscrew the bottle from the
filler (fig. 142, ref. 3);
❒after removing the bottle remount

UREA, turning it clockwise until it
stops;
❒turn the key in the pawl starter in the
ON position (no need to start the
engine);
❒wait for the signal on the instrument
panel to power off before moving the
vehicle, the warning light may stay
on for a few seconds to half a
minute. In case of motor start-up and
movement of the vehicle, the
warning sign will remain on for a
longer period of time, but there are
no problems on the engine
functionality;
❒If topping up is done with the UREA
tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle;NoteThe driving conditions (altitude,
vehicle speed, load, etc.) determine the
quantity of UREA used by the vehicle.
In order to use the additive for Diesel
Emissions (UREA) correctly, see "Fluids
and lubricants" in the "Technical data".
IMPORTANT
❒Exceeding the maximum filling
level of the tank UREA, it can
cause damage to the tank and
spilling UREA. Please avoid
topping up after filling the tank.
❒DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL. The UREA freezes at
under -11 ° C. Although the
system is designed to operate
below the freezing point of the
UREA, it is advisable not to fill the
tank beyond the maximum level
because if the UREA freezes
the system can be damaged.
❒If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium,
immediately clean the area with
water and use absorbent material
to collect the fluid that has been
spilled on the ground.
❒Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added
to the diesel fuel tank, this can
result in serious engine damage,
contact Dealership.❒Use AdBlue only according to DIN
70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other
fluids may cause damage to the
system: also exhaust emissions
would no longer comply with
the law. The distribution
companies are responsible for
the compliance of their product.
Observe the precautions of
storage and maintenance, in
order to preserve the initial
qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognize any
guarantee in case of
malfunctions and damage caused
to the vehicle due to the use of
urea (AdBlue) not in accordance
with regulations.
❒Any introduction of diesel fuel
inside the tank AdBlue, causes
irreversible damage to the
pumping unit circuit AdBlue.
❒Do not add additives to AdBlue.
Do not dilute AdBlue with tap
water as this may damage the
system of purification of exhaust
gases.

❒In case of damage to the sewage

from the use of additives / tap

fuel, or at least by not fulfilling the
requirements, the warranty
expires.
AdBlue tank topping
(UREA) in cold
environments
Since AdBlue (UREA) starts to freeze
around the -11 ° C, the vehicle is
equipped with an automatic system of
heating UREA that allows the system to
function properly at temperatures
below -11 ° C.
If the vehicle remains idle for a long
period at temperatures below the -11 °
C, the UREA in the tank might freeze.
If the tank UREA was filled beyond
the maximum level and freezes, it can
be damaged; for this reason it is
advisable not to exceed the maximum
level of the tank.
Pay extra attention to avoid exceeding
the maximum level when you use
portable containers for topping up.Fuel storage - Diesel
Fuel
95)
In case of the storage of massive
amounts of fuel, good maintenance is
essential. The fuel contaminated with
water favours the proliferation of
"microbes". These microbes create a
"slime" that can clog the filter system
and fuel pipes. Remove water from the
supply tank and regularly replace the
filter pipe.
NoteWhen a diesel engine runs out of
fuel, air is blown through the fuel
system.
AdBlue storage (UREA)
AdBlue (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life. If is
stored at temperatures between -12 °
and 32 ° C, it can be stored at least for
a year.
Since UREA can freeze at temperatures
at or below -11 ° C, the system was
designed to operate also in these cold
environments, thanks to an automatic
heating system which operates when
the engine is started.
NoteWhen you need to keep the
AdBlue (UREA), it is important to know
that:❒any container or part that comes in
contact with the UREA must be
compatible with it (plastic or stainless
steel). Materials such as copper,
brass, aluminium, iron or stainless
steel is not as susceptible to
corrosion by UREA are to be
avoided;
❒if UREA is spilled from a container,
completely clean the area.
IMPORTANT
19) Only refuel with automotive
diesel complying with the
European specification EN 590.
The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the
damage caused. If you
accidentally introduce other types
of fuel into the tank, do not start
the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time,
you must not only drain the fuel
tank, but the rest of the supply
circuit as well.
