KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

ADBLUE ADDITIVE
RESERVOIR
Make sure that you comply with the
laws of the country you're in.
You need to remember that if the owner
of the vehicle does not comply with the
laws in effect, there could be legal
consequences.
Operating principle
Using additives reduces exhaust
emissions, transforming polluting gases
into water vapour and nitrogen.
Filling
Usable tank capacity: Approx. 20 litres

stop the engine (refer to the information
about starting and stopping the engine).
Quality of the additive
Only use additives that comply with the
ISO 22241 standard and in compliance
with the label on the fuel tank flap.
Average fuel consumption
About 2 l/1000 km depending on the
vehicle version and driving style.
Operating precautions
Always read the information on the
additive package.
Handle additives carefully. They can
damage clothing, shoes, chassis
components, etc.
If the additive overflows or
contaminates any painted surface,
quickly clean the area with a damp
cloth.
In extremely cold climates
The vehicle has a heating system for
the additive that allows driving in
extremely cold conditions.
Precautions while refilling the tank
The additive congeals at temperatures
lower than about -10°C. In that case,
do not attempt to refill. However, we
advise you to top up the additive or
have a qualified professional do it when
the warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on.
