Exhaust Purification System For Vehicles With Diesel Engines (Adblue ® ) - Seat Ateca 2016 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
● The vehicle is not designed for the use of
FAME fuel (biodiesel). The fuel system would
be damaged if you used biodiesel.
● Do not mix fuel additives, the so-called
"thinners", petrol or similar additives with
diesel fuel.
● If poor-quality diesel fuel is used, it may be
necessary to drain the fuel filter more fre-
quently than is specified in the Maintenance
Programme. We recommend having this done
by a specialised workshop. If water is allowed
to collect in the filter, this can cause engine
performance problems.

Checking and refilling levels
WARNING
®
If the level of AdBlue is too low and the igni-
tion is switched off, it will no longer be possi-
ble to re-start the engine. Not even by jump-
starting the car!
®
Insert enough AdBlue when the distance
●
to empty is approx. 1000 km, at the latest.
®
● Never run the AdBlue tank completely dry.
WARNING
®
AdBlue is an irritant, corrosive liquid that
can cause injuries if it comes into contact
with the skin, eyes or respiratory organs.
®
● Before opening an AdBlue recipient, al-
ways take the manufacturer's instructions for
use into account. If the instructions are fol-
lowed correctly, it is not likely that the user
will come into contact with AdBlue
If AdBlue ® comes into contact with your
●
eyes, rinse it immediately with plenty of wa-
ter for at least 15 minutes before seeking
medical attention.
®
● If AdBlue comes into contact with your
skin, rinse with water for at least 15 minutes
and, in case of skin irritation, seek medical
attention immediately.
If you accidentally swallow AdBlue
●
your mouth with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting unless
advised to by a doctor. Seek immediate medi-
cal attention.
CAUTION
®
AdBlue may damage the vehicle's painted
surfaces, plastic, upholstery and carpet,
among other things. In case of a spill, clean it
as soon as possible with a damp cloth and
plenty of cold water.
Remove the AdBlue
