Maintenance
solution inside, even after the
ENGINE START/STOP button is
pressed to the OFF position.
Before the maintenance service,
make sure that the urea solution
system is completely turned OFF.
A urea solution of poor quality or
any unauthorised liquids may
damage the vehicle components,
including the DPF system. Any
unverified additives in the urea
solution may clog the SCR cata -
lyst and cause other malfunc -
tions, which require the expensive
DPF system to be replaced.
When urea solution comes in con -
tact with the eyes or the skin, you
should thoroughly wash the con -
taminated skin area.
When you swallow urea solution,
thoroughly rinse your mouth and
drink a lot of fresh water. Then,
immediately consult a doctor.
When your cloth is contaminated
with urea solution, immediately
change your cloth.
When you have an allergic reac -
tion to urea solution, immediately
consult a doctor.
Make sure that urea solution is
kept out of reach from children.
Wipe off any urea solution spillage
with water or cloth. When urea
solution is crystallized, wipe it off
with a sponge or a cloth, which
was dampened in cold water.
When urea solution spillage is
exposed in air for an extended
period of time, it is crystallized in
white, damaging the vehicle sur -
face.
Urea solution is not a fuel addi -
tive. Thus, it should not be
injected to the fuel tank. Other -
wise, it may damage the engine.
Urea solution is an aqueous solu -
tion, which is inflammable, non-
toxic, colourless and odourless.
Store the urea solution tank only
in well-ventilated locations. When
urea solution is exposed to the
hot temperature at approxi -
mately 50 C for an extended
period of time (i.e. under direct
sunlight), the chemical decompo -
sition may occur, emitting ammo -
nia vapour.
Storing urea solution (if equipped)
It is improper to store urea solu -
tion in containers made of unsuit -
able materials like aluminium,
copper alloy, non-alloyed still and
galvanized steel.
The urea solution dissolves metal
materials, severely damaging the
exhaust purification system to be
non-repairable.
Store urea solution only in con -
tainers made of the following
materials.
- DIN EN 10 088-1-/-2-/-3-
specified CR-Ni steel, Mo-Cr-Ni
steel, Polypropylene and Poly -
ethylene
