Opel Vivaro C 2023 Manual page 163

Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork with
AdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with
water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
pre-heater works automatically.
In some circumstances below the
mentioned temperature, an error
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre. In this event, park
the vehicle in a space with a higher
ambient temperature until AdBlue is
liquefied.
Note
Frozen and again liquefied AdBlue is
usable without quality loss.
The typical AdBlue consumption is
approx. 2 l per 1000 km, but can also
be higher depending on driving
behaviour (e.g. high load or towing).
