REAGENT TANK
(2/4)
Filling (continued)
The tank can be filled at the pump. With
the ignition off, insert the nozzle fully
before activating it to fill the fuel tank
(risk of splashing). Keep the nozzle in
this position throughout the entire filling
operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
In other filling cases, it is essential to
read the information shown on the rea-
gent container (e.g. the can or bottle).
Precautions for use
When filling:
– handle the reagent with care. They
can damage clothes, shoes, body-
work components etc.;
– make sure that no water enters the
fuel tank.

If the reagent overflows, or contami-
nates any paintwork, clean the affected
area quickly with plenty of cold water
and a soft cloth.
Note: if the reagent crystallises, use a
soft sponge.
In extreme cold weather conditions
In frosty weather conditions, the rea-
gent tank should be refilled when the

indicator and the message "TOP
UP AdBlue before 1200 km" appear on
the instrument panel.
Special cases
The reagent fluid freezes below about
-10°C.
In these conditions, do not attempt filling
when the fluid is frozen. In the event of
needing to top up or fill the tank with re-

agent ( on), park the vehicle in a
hotter location if possible so that the re-
agent becomes liquid again. Otherwise,
have a qualified professional top up or
fill up with reagent fluid.
After filling the reagent tank, check
that the cap and cover are closed,
start the engine and WAIT 10 sec-
onds with the vehicle stationary,
engine running before setting off
again.
If this operation is not carried out,
the filling of the tank will not be
taken into account automatically
until after several dozens of minutes
of driving.
The message "--- Top up AdBlue"
and/or the warning lights will con-
tinue to appear until the filling has
been taken into account by the
system.
No work whatsoever is
permitted on any part of
the system. To prevent
damage, only qualified per-
sonnel from our network may work
on the system.
