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.
Recommendations on storage
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue® in your vehicle.
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
air. 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.
