AdBlue (UREA) Storage
AdBlue (UREA) is considered a very stable
product with a long shelf life. If AdBlue
(UREA) is kept in temperatures between
10° and 90°F (-12° and 32°C), it will last a
minimum of one year.
AdBlue (UREA) is subject to freezing at the
lowest temperatures. For example, AdBlue
(UREA) may freeze at temperatures at or
below 12° F (-11° C). The system has been
designed to operate in this environment.
NOTE:
When working with AdBlue (UREA), it is
important to know that:
• Any containers or parts that come into con-
tact with AdBlue (UREA) must be AdBlue
(UREA) compatible (plastic or stainless
steel). Copper, brass, aluminum, iron or
non-stainless steel should be avoided as
they are subject to corrosion by AdBlue
(UREA).
• If AdBlue (UREA) is spilled, it should be
wiped up completely.
Adding AdBlue (UREA)
Preliminary Conditions
AdBlue (UREA) freezes at temperatures
lower than 12° F (-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 cycling the ignition to the OFF
position.
• Open the fuel door, undo and remove the
cap (blue) from the AdBlue (UREA) filler.
