The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue® tank, allowing you to continue driving
in very cold conditions.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-
flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept
in a cool place).
approximately 3,900 miles (6,500 km), which may
vary considerably depending on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered once the reserve level
is reached: it is then possible to drive for a further
1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the tank is empty
and the vehicle is immobilised.
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped up
as soon as the first alert is issued indicating that
the reserve level has been reached.
For more information on the Warning and
indicator lamps and the associated alerts,
or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
– Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the ISO
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
22241 standard.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
– Never transfer AdBlue® to another container
as it would lose its purity.
– Never dilute AdBlue® with water.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.
You can obtain AdBlue® from a dealer or a
qualified workshop, as well as service stations
equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially designed
for passenger vehicles.
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of children,
in its original container.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a dealer or a
qualified workshop. After 660 miles (1,100 km),
a device is automatically activated to prevent
the engine from starting.
Recommendations on storage
Procedure
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for
at least a year.
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the
AdBlue® may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is stopped.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
