Practical information
Recommendations on storage
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.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never store AdBlue
®
containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the fluid.
Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
®
out of the reach of children,
in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level
surface.
In winter, check that the temperature of the
vehicle is above -11°C. If not, in freezing
weather, the AdBlue
®
cannot be poured into the
tank. Park your vehicle somewhere warmer for
a few hours before topping up.
In the event of an AdBlue
®
breakdown,
confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue:
Starting impossible", you must top up with
at least 5 litres.
Never pour AdBlue
®
into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue
®
is splashed, or if there
are any spillages on the side of the body,
rinse immediately with cold water or wipe
with a damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, you must wait around 5 minutes
before switching on the ignition, without
opening the driver's door, locking
the vehicle, introducing the key into
the ignition switch, or introducing
the key of the Keyless Entry and
Starting system into the passenger
compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for
10 seconds before starting the engine.
F Switch off the ignition and remove the key
from the switch to switch off the engine.
or
F With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the
"START/STOP" button to switch off the
engine.
AdBlue
®
is a urea-based solution. This fluid
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(stored in a cool place).
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. If a burning sensation or irritation
persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
