Filling
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a
flat and level surface.
Pour the contents of the container /
bottle into the dedicated tank.
After filling the AdBlue
® tank, observe
the following procedure:
-
Switch on the ignition without
starting.
-
W
ait 10 seconds before starting the
engine.
Never dispose of empty AdBlue
®
containers and bottles in the
household waste.
Place them in a special container
provided this purpose or take them to
your dealer. 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 fluid with water.
Never pour the fluid into the Diesel fuel
tank.
Recommendations on storage
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
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 fluid 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 AdBlue
® becomes a fluid
again.
The emissions warning lamp does not
go off immediately, but does so after a
few miles of driving.
