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.
121
AdBlue®
(UREA) storage
AdBlue®
(UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored at temperatures LOWER than
32°C, it has a shelf life of at least one
year.
Follow the instructions on the label of
the container.
Fuel storage - Diesel Fuel
127)
In case of the storage of massive
amounts of fuel, good maintenance is
essential. The fuel contaminated with
water favours the proliferation of
"microbes". These microbes create a
"slime" that can clog the filter system
and fuel pipes. Remove water from the
supply tank and regularly replace the
filter pipe.
NOTE When a Diesel engine runs out
of fuel, air is blown through the fuel
system.
Emergency refuelling
If there is no fuel in the car or the supply
circuit is completely empty, proceed as
follows to reintroduce fuel to the tank:
open the boot and take adaptor 3
fig. 108, located in the tool box or in the
Fix&Go kit container (according to the
versions);
open flap 1 fig. 106, as described
previously;
introduce the adaptor in the filler as
shown and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adapter
and close the flap;
finally refit the adaptor in the boot.
Versions with LPG system
(where provided)
The gas filler is located next to the
petrol filler cap. It has a "non return",
located in the filler body itself.
To access the filler 2 fig. 109 open the
access flap 1.
Observe the following precautions
during the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
apply the handbrake;
ignition key turned to the OFF
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are various types of adapters for
the refuelling pump. Adapter 1 fig. 110,
supplied with the car and located in a
special case, is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If
you are in a different country, find out
what type of adapter is used there.10807206J0002EM
