STARTING AND OPERATING 191
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® (UREA) tank.
If systems which cannot be screwed in (e.g.
tanks) are used for refilling, after the indica-
tion appears on the instrument panel display
Ú page 117, fill the AdBlue® (UREA) tank
with no more than 2 Gallons (8 liters).
If containers which can be screwed to the
filler are used, the reservoir is full when the
AdBlue® (UREA) level in the container stops
pouring out. Do not proceed further.
Operations After Refilling
Proceed as follows:
Fit the cap back on the AdBlue® (UREA) filler
by turning it clockwise and screwing it
completely.
Place the ignition to RUN (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 compro-
mise engine operation.
If the AdBlue® (UREA) was topped up when
the tank was empty, wait for two minutes
before starting the engine.
NOTE:
If AdBlue® (UREA) is spilled out of the filler
neck, clean up well the area and proceed to
filling up again. If the liquid crystallizes, elim-
inate it with a sponge and warm water.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM LEVEL: this
could cause damage to the reservoir.
AdBlue® (UREA) freezes at under 12° F
(-11° C). Although the system is designed to
operate below the freezing point of the UREA,
it is advisable not to fill the tank beyond the
maximum level because if the UREA freezes
the system can be damaged. Follow the
instructions in this section.
If the AdBlue® (UREA) is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminum, 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 AdBlue®
(UREA) was accidentally added to the diesel
fuel tank, this can result in serious engine
damage; contact an authorized dealer.
Do not add additives or other fluids to
AdBlue® (UREA), doing so could damage the
system.
The use of non-conforming or degraded
AdBlue® (UREA) may lead to indications
appearing on the instrument panel display
Ú page 117.
