* Pay great caution not to add the
urea solution into the fuel tank. If
not, it surely applies adverse impact
on the vehicle performance, causing
various malfunctions.
* Never use urea solution mixture with
additives or water. It may allow for-
eign substances to enter the urea
solution tank. If so, it surely applies
adverse impact on the vehicle per-
formance, causing various malfunc-
tions.
* Use only the ISO 22241-specified
urea solution. Any unauthorised
urea solution surely applies adverse
impacts on the vehicle performance,
causing various malfunctions.
