Practical information
Supply of AdBlue
®
It is recommended that the AdBlue
®
be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
-
Use only AdBlue
®
fluid that meets the
ISO
22241 standard.
-
Never transfer AdBlue
®
to another
container: it would lose its purity.
- Never dilute AdBlue
®
with water.
AdBlue
®
can be obtained from a dealer or
a
qualified workshop as well as at service
stations equipped with AdBlue
®
pumps
specially designed for passenger vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue
®
freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above +25°C. Containers should
be stored in a
cool area and protected from
direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never store AdBlue
®
containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue
®
is a urea-based solution. This liquid
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(when kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse 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 (high temperature, for
example), risks of the release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the vapour.
Vapours containing ammonia have an irritant
effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
throat).
Keep AdBlue
®
out of the reach of children,
in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a
flat and level
surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
®
may be frozen and so
cannot be poured into its tank. Park the vehicle
in a warmer area for a few hours to allow the
top-up to be carried out.
Never put the AdBlue
®
into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue
®
is splashed, or if there
are any spillages on the bodywork, 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
an AdBlue breakdown, you must wait
about 5
minutes before switching on the
ignition, without opening the driver's
door, unlocking the vehicle or bringing
the electronic key into the passenger
compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for
10 seconds before starting the engine.
