Refilling with nozzles
The system was designed in
compliance with ISO 22241-5 (nozzle
capacity: 10 l/min.).
Refilling at stations with higher flow
rates is possible, but the nozzle could
shut off and the amount introduced into
the tank may vary.
Proceed as follows:
insert the AdBlue® nozzle in the filler,
start refilling and stop refilling at the first
shut-off (the shut-off indicates that the
AdBlue® tank is full). Do not proceed
with the refilling, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue®;
extract the nozzle.

Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the AdBlue® tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling,
after the indication appears on the
instrument panel display (see "Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in
the "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter), fill the AdBlue® tank with no
F1B0694
more than 7.5 litres;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is
full when the AdBlue® level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap (B) fig. 119 back on the
AdBlue® filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
set the starter switch to MAR (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started
and the car is moved, the indication
will remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if the AdBlue® was topped up when
the tank was empty, see the "Refuelling
" paragraph in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter and wait for 2
minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue® is spilled out
of the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again. If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to
the reservoir. AdBlue® freezes at
°
under -11 C. Although the system
is designed to operate below the
freezing point of the AdBlue®, it is
advisable not to fill the tank beyond
the maximum level because if
the AdBlue® freezes the system
can be damaged. Comply with
the instructions provided in this
section.
If the AdBlue® is spilled on
painted surfaces or aluminium,
immediately clean the area with
water and use absorbent material
to collect the fluid that has been
spilled on the ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
AdBlue® was accidentally added to
the Diesel fuel tank, this can result
in serious engine damage, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
