around the ﬁller mouth using a

damp cloth.

water or wipe yourself with a clean

damp cloth.

If the ﬂuid has crystallised, clean it off

using a sponge and hot water.

Starting prevented, having

covered the 650 miles (1 100 km)

At each attempt at starting, the alert is

activated and the message "Emissions

fault: Starting prevented" is displayed.

bottles (1.89 litres) of AdBlue^®

Read the instructions on the label.

Ensure that you have a suitable

ﬁller pipe, which may or may not be

supplied with the container.

AdBlue^®

Keep AdBlue^®out of the

reach of children, in its original

container.

The SCR system includes an

AdBlue^®tank heater that ensures

operation of the vehicle in normal

conditions.

Never transfer AdBlue^®to another

container: it would loose its purity.

Never dilute the ﬂuid with water.

Never pour the ﬂuid into the Diesel fuel

tank.

In exceptional situations, such as when

the vehicle is kept at temperatures

below -15°C (5°F) for a long period,

there may be an emission fault alert

related to freezing of the AdBlue^®

additive.

Park the vehicle in an area at a more

moderate temperature for a few hours

until the AdBlue^®becomes a ﬂuid

again.

The emissions warning lamp does not

go off immediately, but does so after a

few miles of driving.

Filling

Recommendations on storage

Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a

ﬂat and level surface.

Never store containers or bottles of

AdBlue^®in your vehicle.

Pour the contents of the container /

bottle into the dedicated tank.

Freezing of the AdBlue^®

AdBlue^®freezes at about -11°C (12.2° F)

and deteriorates above 25°C (77°F).

After ﬁlling the AdBlue^®tank, observe

the following procedure:

-

Switch on the ignition without

starting.

Wait 10 seconds before starting the

engine.

It is recommended that containers and

bottles be stored in a cool area and

protected from direct sunlight.

Under these conditions, the ﬂuid can

be kept for at least a year.

-

Never dispose of empty AdBlue^®

containers and bottles in the

household waste.

Additive that has been frozen can

be used once it has thawed out in

ambient air.

Place them in a special container

provided this purpose or take them to
