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 you feel
a persistent burning sensation or irritation, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (at high temperature,
for example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the vapour.
Ammonia has an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® in its original container and
out of the reach of children.
Procedure
Before starting the top up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level
sur face.
In winter, check that the temperature of the
vehicle is above -11°C. If not, due to freezing,
the AdBlue
® cannot be poured into the tank.
Park your vehicle somewhere warmer for a few
hours before topping up. In the event of an AdBlue
® breakdown,
confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue:
Starting impossible", you must top up with
at least 5

litres.
Never pour AdBlue
® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
For the specifics associated with the
access configuration for the AdBlue
® tank
(via the boot or via the fuel filler flap), refer
to the descriptions given in detail further
on.
If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the side of the body, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after a
breakdown because of a lack of AdBlue,
you must wait around 5
minutes before
switching on the ignition, without opening
the driver’s door, locking the vehicle,
introducing the key into the ignition
switch, or introducing the key of the

K

eyless Entr y and Star ting system into
the passenger compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for
10


seconds before starting the engine.
