TOPPING UP AdBlue ® DIESEL
EMISSIONS ADDITIVE (UREA)
(Diesel versions only)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
140)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue ® freezes at temperatures
lower than -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 setting the start device in
the OFF position;
open the fuel flap 1 fig. 132, undo
and remove the cap 2 (blue) from the
AdBlue ® filler and place it in the
specific housing 3.

Refilling with nozzles
You can fill up at any AdBlue ®
distributor.
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 "Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter), fill the AdBlue ® tank with no
more than 6 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.

Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap 2 fig. 132back on the
AdBlue ® filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to MAR (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
" paragraph in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter and wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT 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.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to
the reservoir. UREA freezes at
under -11 °C. Although the system
is designed to operate below the
freezing point of the UREA, it is
advisable not to fill the tank beyond
