Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine service on your
vehicle by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank,
it may be necessary to top-up the additive
between services, more particularly if an alert
(warning lamps and a message) signals the
requirement.
You can go to a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.Precautions in use
Keep AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
us
e only AdBlue
® additive that meets the
ISO
22241 standard.th
e AdBlue® additive is an urea-based
solution.
th
is liquid is non-flammable,
colourless and odourless (kept in a cool area).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash
the affected area with soap and water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate)
the eyes with large amounts of water or with
an eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes.
If a burning sensation or irritation persists, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high ambient
temperature, for example), the risk of release
of ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale
the product. Ammonia vapour has an irritant
effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
throat). Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
th

e supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies
topping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a
u
S
g

allon) bottles from a P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Never top-up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser reserved for heavy goods
vehicles.
Freezing of the AdBlue
® additive
th

e AdBlue
® additive freezes at
temperatures below around -11°C.
th

Never store bottles of AdBlue® in your
vehicle.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
und

er these conditions, the additive can be
kept for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
® may be frozen and
so 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.
