Advice
Important: in the event of a top-up
after a breakdown because of a lack
of additive, signalled by the message
"Top up emissions additive: Starting
prevented", you must wait around
5 minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver's door,
locking the vehicle or introducing the
key into the ignition switch.
Switch on the ignition, then, after
10 seconds, start the engine.
Keep AdBlue out of the reach of
®
children, in its original container.
Never transfer AdBlue to another
®
container: it would loose its purity.
Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue in your vehicle.

Recommendations on
storage
Freezing of the AdBlue
additive
AdBlue freezes at about -11°C (12.2°F)
®
and deteriorates above 25°C (77°F).
It is recommended that containers and
bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the additive
can be kept for at least a year.
Additive that has been frozen can be
used once it has thawed out in ambient
air.
189
® The SCR system includes an AdBlue
tank heater that ensures operation of
the vehicle in normal conditions.
In exceptional situations, such as when
the vehicle is kept at temperatures
below -15°C (5°F) for a long period,
there may be an emission fault alert
related to freezing of the AdBlue
additive.
Park the vehicle in an area at a more
moderate temperature for a few hours
until the additive becomes a liquid
again.
The emissions warning lamp does not
go off immediately, but does so after a
few miles of driving.
