Notes on AdBlue
It may be improper or punishable in some coun‐
tries to operate a vehicle that uses no AdBlue
one that does not comply with the specifications
of these operating instructions.
* NOTE Paintwork damage due to AdBlue
®
If AdBlue comes into contact with painted
surfaces or aluminium surfaces while refuel‐
ling, these surfaces could be damaged.
Immediately rinse off the affected areas
#
with plenty of water.
®
If the AdBlue tank is still filled with enough
®
AdBlue , balancing out of pressure may occur
when the tank cap is opened. This may cause
®
AdBlue to leak. Therefore, carefully unscrew the
®
tank cap of the AdBlue tank. If AdBlue
wash off immediately with plenty of water.
®
AdBlue is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colour‐
less, odourless and water-soluble fluid.
When you open the AdBlue
of ammonia vapour may escape. Ammonia
vapours have a pungent odour and irritate the fol‐
lowing body parts in particular:
skin
R
mucous membranes
R

This can cause a burning sensation in the eyes,
nose and throat as well as coughing and watering
eyes.
Do not inhale escaping ammonia vapours. Fill the
®
AdBlue tank only in well-ventilated areas.
®
AdBlue should not come into contact with skin,
eyes or clothing or be swallowed. Keep AdBlue

R
mouth immediately with water and drink
plenty of water. Seek medical attention imme‐
diately.
immediately change clothes that have been

soiled by AdBlue

or

High outside temperatures

®
If AdBlue heats up to more than 50°C for a long
time, for example, due to direct sunlight, AdBlue
®
can decompose. This produces ammonia
vapours.

Low outside temperatures

®
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of about
-11 °C. The AdBlue
is equipped with a fully automatic heating sys‐
tem. This means that winter operation is also
ensured at temperatures below -11 °C.
