Refilling with nozzles
You can fill up at any
AdBlue®
distributor.
Proceed as follows:
insert theAdBlue®
nozzle in the
filler, start refilling and stop refilling at
the first shut-off (the shut-off indicates
that the
AdBlue®
tank is full). Do not
proceed with the refilling, to prevent
spillage of
AdBlue®
;
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the
AdBlue®
tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling, after
the indication appears on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter), fill the
AdBlue®
tank with no
more than 6 litres;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is full
when theAdBlue™level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap 2 fig. 107back on the
AdBlue®
filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to MAR (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started
and the car is moved, the indication will
remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if theAdBlue®
was topped up when
the tank was empty, see the “Refuelling
” paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again. If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.
IMPORTANTDO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to
the reservoir. UREA freezes at
under -11 °C. Although the system
is designed to operate below the
freezing point of the UREA, it is
advisable not to fill the tank beyondthe maximum level because if the
UREA freezes the system can be
damaged. Follow the instructions in
the “Topping up
AdBlue®
diesel
emissions additive (UREA)” paragraph
in this chapter.
If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the
fluid that has been spilled on the
ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added to
the Diesel fuel tank, this can result
in serious engine damage, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
Do not add additives or other
fluids to
AdBlue®
, doing so could
damage the system.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded
AdBlue®
may lead to
indications appearing on the instrument
panel display (see “Warning lights and
messages" paragraph in the “Knowing
the instrument panel” chapter).
Never pourAdBlue®
into another
container: it could be contaminated.
If theAdBlue®
runs out, see
“Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter to continue
using the car normally.
