ADBLUE® (UREA) — I F EQUIPPED
The vehicle is equipped with an UREA injection
system and Selective Catalytic Reduction to
meet emission standards. These two systems
ensure compliance with the diesel emissions
requirements; at the same time, they ensure
fuel-efficiency, handling, torque and power. For
messages and system warnings Ú page 117.
AdBlue® (UREA) is a very stable product with a
long shelf life. Stored at temperatures LOWER
than 90 °F (32 °C), it has a shelf life of at least
one year. For more information on the AdBlue®
liquid type Ú page 384. The vehicle is equipped
with an automatic AdBlue® heating system
when the engine starts allowing the system to
work correctly at temperatures lower than
12°F (-11°C).
NOTE:
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures lower than
12°F (-11°C).
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
contact with AdBlue® (UREA) must be
AdBlue® (UREA) compatible (plastic or stain-
less 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.
CAUTION!
For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN 590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently void the war-
ranty, due to the damage caused. If you acci-
dentally introduce other types of fuel into the
tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank.
If the engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time, you must
not only drain the fuel tank, but the rest of the
supply circuit as well.
