5. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off
prior to putting back in the spare tire
storage area.
NOTE:
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in
or near the vehicle when the fuel door is
open or the tank is being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is run-
ning. This is in violation of most coun-
tries regulations and may cause the
“Malfunction Indicator Light” to turn
on.
• Do not apply any object/cap to the end of
the filler which is not provided for the
car. The use of non-compliant objects/
plugs could cause a pressure increase
inside the tank, resulting in dangerous
situations.
WARNING!
• A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always
place fuel containers on the ground
while filling.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE —
DIESEL ENGINE
The Capless Fuel System uses a flapper
placed at the filler pipe of the fuel tank; it
opens and closes automatically upon
insertion/extraction of the fuel nozzle. The
Capless Fuel System is designed so that it
prevents the filling of an incorrect type of
fuel.
1. Unlock the Fuel Filler Door by pushing the
unlock button on the key fob or the unlock
button on the driver-side door trim panel.2. Open the fuel filler door by pushing on the
rear edge of the Fuel Door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door
inside the pipe seals the system.

AdBlue (UREA) — If Equipped
Your vehicle is equipped with a Selective
Catalytic Reduction system to meet the very
stringent diesel emissions standards re-
quired by the European Community legisla-
tion.
The purpose of the SCR system is to reduce
levels of NOx (oxides of nitrogen emitted from
engines) that are harmful to our health and
the environment to a near-zero level. A small

quantity AdBlue (UREA) is injected into the
exhaust upstream of a catalyst where, when
vaporized, it converts smog-forming nitrogen
oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen (N2) and
water vapor (H2O), two natural components
of the air we breathe. You can operate with
the comfort that your vehicle is contributing
to a cleaner, healthier world environment for
this and generations to come.
System Overview
This vehicle is equipped with a AdBlue
(UREA) injection system and a Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst to meet
the emission requirements.
The AdBlue (UREA) injection system con-
sists of the following components:
• AdBlue (UREA) Tank
• AdBlue (UREA) Pump
• AdBlue (UREA) Injector
• Electronically-heated AdBlue (UREA)
Lines
• NOx sensors• Temperature sensors
• SCR catalyst
The AdBlue (UREA) injection system and
SCR catalyst enable the achievement of die-
sel emissions requirements; while maintain-
ing outstanding fuel economy, drivability,
torque and power ratings.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
system messages and warnings.
NOTE:
• Your vehicle is equipped with a AdBlue
(UREA) injection system. You may occa-
sionally hear an audible clicking noise from
under the vehicle at a stop. This is normal
operation.
• The AdBlue (UREA) pump will run for a
period of time after engine shutdown to
purge the AdBlue (UREA) system. This is
normal operation and may be audible from
the rear of the vehicle.
AdBlue (UREA) Storage
AdBlue (UREA) is considered a very stable
product with a long shelf life. If AdBlue
(UREA) is kept in temperatures between
10° and 90°F (-12° and 32°C), it will last a
minimum of one year.
AdBlue (UREA) is subject to freezing at the
lowest temperatures. For example, AdBlue
(UREA) may freeze at temperatures at or
below 12° F (-11° C). The system has been
designed to operate in this environment.
NOTE:
When working with AdBlue (UREA), it is
important to know that:
• Any containers or parts that come into con-
tact with AdBlue (UREA) must be AdBlue
(UREA) compatible (plastic or stainless
steel). Copper, brass, aluminum, iron or
non-stainless steel should be avoided as
they are subject to corrosion by AdBlue
(UREA).
• If AdBlue (UREA) is spilled, it should be
wiped up completely.
177

Adding AdBlue (UREA)
NOTE:
Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed,
load, etc.) will effect the amount of AdBlue
(UREA) that is used in your vehicle.
AdBlue (UREA) Fill Procedure With Pump
Nozzle
NOTE:
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in the
“Technical Specifications” section for the
correct fluid type.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground. Turn off
the engine by cycling the ignition to the
OFF position. Open the fuel filler and then
unscrew and remove the cap from the
AdBlue (UREA) filler.2. Insert AdBlue (UREA) fill adapter/nozzle
into AdBlue (UREA) fill inlet.
CAUTION!
•To avoid AdBlue (UREA) spillage, and
possible damage to the AdBlue (UREA)
tank from overfilling, do not “top off” the
AdBlue (UREA) tank after filling.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT OVERFILL. AdBlue (UREA) will
freeze below 12ºF (-11ºC). The AdBlue
(UREA) system is designed to work in
temperatures below the AdBlue (UREA)
freezing point, however, if the tank is
overfilled and freezes, the system could
be damaged.
• When AdBlue (UREA) is spilled, clean
the area immediately with water and use
an absorbent material to soak up the
spills on the ground.
• Do not attempt to start your engine if
AdBlue (UREA) is accidentally added to
the diesel fuel tank as it can result in
severe damage to your engine, including
but not limited to failure of the fuel
pump and injectors.

CAUTION!
• Never add anything other than AdBlue
(UREA) to the tank – especially any form
of hydrocarbon such as diesel fuel, fuel
system additives, gasoline, or any other
petroleum-based product. Even a very
small amount of these, less than
100 parts per million or less than 1 oz.
(30 ml) per 78 gallons (295 liters) will
contaminate the entire AdBlue (UREA)
system and will require replacement. If
owners use a container, funnel or nozzle
when refilling the tank, it should either
be new or one that is has only been used
for adding AdBlue (UREA). Mopar pro-
vides an attachable nozzle with its Ad-
Blue (UREA) for this purpose.3. Stop filling the AdBlue (UREA) tank im-
mediately when any of the following hap-
pen: AdBlue (UREA) splashes out the fill
inlet, or a AdBlue (UREA) pump nozzle
automatically shuts off.
4. After removing the nozzle, refit the cap on
the AdBlue (UREA) filler by turning it
clockwise until it is fully tightened. Cycle
the ignition to the ACC position (no need
to start the engine).
5. Wait for the warning on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the
vehicle, the warning light may stay on for
a few seconds to half a minute. In case of
engine start-up and movement of the ve-
hicle, the warning light will remain on for
a longer period of time, but there are no
problems on the engine functionality. If
topping up is done with the AdBlue
(UREA) tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle.When Refueling The Additive For Diesel Emis-
sions AdBlue (UREA) With Bottle:
• Park the vehicle on level ground.
• Turn off the engine by cycling the ignition to
the OFF position.
• Open the fuel filler and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the AdBlue (UREA)
filler.
• Press the bottom of the bottle towards the
filler to release the bottle's safety valve and
start topping up; if the level of AdBlue
(UREA) in the bottle.
• Stop filling the AdBlue (UREA) tank imme-
diately when any of the following happen:
AdBlue (UREA) stops flowing from the fill
bottle into the AdBlue (UREA) fill inlet,
AdBlue (UREA) splashes out the fill inlet.
• If the level of AdBlue (UREA) in the bottle
does not drop while topping up, it means
that you have filled the reservoir, so pull the
bottle towards you to re-close the bottle's
safety valve and unscrew the bottle from
the filler.

• After removing the bottle, refit the cap on
the AdBlue (UREA) filler by turning it
clockwise until it is fully tightened.
• Cycle the ignition to the ACC position (no
need to start the engine).
• Wait for the warning on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the ve-
hicle, the warning light may stay on for a
few seconds to half a minute. In case of
engine start-up and movement of the ve-
hicle, the warning light will remain on for a
longer period of time, but there are no
problems on the engine functionality.
• If topping up is done with the AdBlue
(UREA) tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle.
NOTE:
The driving conditions (altitude, vehicle
speed, load, etc.) determine the quantity of
AdBlue (UREA) used by the vehicle.AdBlue Tank Filling (UREA) In Cold Environ-
ments
If the vehicle remains idle for a long period at
temperatures below the 12°F (-11 °C), the
AdBlue (UREA) in the tank might freeze. If
the tank AdBlue (UREA) was filled beyond
the maximum level and freezes, it can be
damaged; for this reason it is advisable not to
exceed the maximum level of the tank.
Pay extra attention to avoid exceeding the
maximum level when you use portable con-
tainers for topping up.
Use AdBlue (UREA) only according to DIN
70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids may
cause damage to the system: also exhaust
emissions would no longer comply with the
law. The distribution companies are respon-
sible for the compliance of their product.Observe the precautions of storage and ser-
vicing, in order to preserve the initial quali-
ties. The manufacturer of the vehicle does
not recognise any guarantee in case of mal-
functions and damage caused to the vehicle
due to the use of AdBlue (UREA) not in
accordance with regulations.
