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 therefore cannot be
poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a warmer
area for a few hours to allow the top-up to be
carried out.
Never pour 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
5minutes 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.
► Press the "START/STOP" button to switch off
the engine.
► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue
®
tank a 6
th
of a
turn anti-clockwise and remove it.
► With a container of AdBlue
®
: after checking
the expiry date, read the instructions on the
label carefully before pouring the contents of the
containerinto the vehicle's AdBlue tank.
► With anAdBlue
®
pump: introduce the nozzle
and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically
cuts out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue
®
tank:
– Add between 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue
®
containers.
– Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
The system only registers AdBlue
®
top-ups of
5litres or more.
If the AdBlue
®
tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message "Top
upAdBlue: Starting impossible" – it is essential
to add at least 5 litres.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
®
containers in
the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this
purpose or take them back to where you
bought them.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle to
free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling road,
in an automatic car wash, or being transported by
rail or sea freight, etc.).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
