STARTING AND OPERATING 67
ADBLUE® (UREA) — IF 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 41.
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 177. 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) S TORAGE
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.
ADDING ADBLUE® (UREA)
Preliminary Conditions
AdBlue® (UREA) freezes at temperatures lower
than 12°F (-11°C). If the car stands for a long
time at this temperature refilling could be
difficult. For this reason, it is advised to park the
vehicle in a garage and/or heated environment
and wait for the UREA to return to liquid state
before topping up.
Proceed as follows:
Park the car on flat ground and stop the
engine by placing the ignition in the OFF posi-
tion.
Open the fuel door, undo and remove the cap
(blue) from the AdBlue® (UREA) filler.
