Refilling with nozzles
The system was designed in compliance
with ISO 22241-5 (nozzle capacity:
10 l/min.). Refilling at stations with
higher flow rates is possible, but the
nozzle could shut off and the amount
introduced into the tank may vary.
Proceed as follows:
insert the AdBlue
®
nozzle in the filler,
start refilling and stop refilling at the
first shut-off (the shut-off indicates that
the AdBlue
®
tank is full). Do not proceed
with the refilling, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue
®
;
extract the nozzle.
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
®
tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed in
(e.g. tanks) are used for refilling, after
the indication appears on the instrument
panel display (see “Indicator lights and
messages" chapter in the “Knowing
the instrument panel” section), fill the
AdBlue
®
tank with at least 5 litres;
if containers which can be screwed to
the filler are used, the reservoir is full
when the AdBlue
®
level in the container
stops pouring out. Do not proceed
further.
The AdBlue
®
level in the tank can
be displayed in the Main Menu of the
Instrument Panel Display.
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap (1) back on the AdBlue
®
filler by turning it clockwise and
screwing it completely;
turn the ignition device to the ENGINE
position (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
compromise engine operation;
if the AdBlue
®
was topped up
when the tank was empty, see the
“Refuelling” chapter in the “Technical
Specifications” section and wait for 2
minutes before starting the engine.
WARNING If AdBlue
®
is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again. If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.
ATTENTION
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to
the reservoir. AdBlue
®
freezes at under
-11
°C. Although the system is designed
to operate below the freezing point of the
AdBlue
®
, it is advisable not to fill the
tank beyond the maximum level because
if the AdBlue
®
freezes the system can be
damaged. Comply with the instructions
provided in this paragraph.
If the AdBlue
®
is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, 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 the
AdBlue
®
was accidentally added to the
Diesel fuel tank, this can result in serious
engine damage, contact a Jeep Dealership.
Do not add additives or other fluids
to AdBlue
®
, doing so could damage the
system.
The use of non-conforming or degraded
AdBlue
®
may lead to indications appearing
on the instrument panel display (see
“Indicator lights and messages" chapter
in the “Knowing the instrument panel”
section).
Never pour AdBlue
®
into another
container: it could be contaminated.
In case of damage to the sewage system
of exhaust gas resulting from the use of
additives / tap water, the introduction of
diesel fuel, or at least by not fulfilling the
requirements, the warranty expires.
If the AdBlue
®
runs out, see the
"Indicator lights and messages" chapter in
the "Knowing the instrument panel” section
to continue using the car normally.
The AdBlue
®
level is not updated if the
car is parked on a sloping road.
