keep adBlue® out of the reach  
of children, in its original  
container.
n
ever  transfer 
a
dBlue
® to another 
container: it would loose its purity.
Never dilute the additive with water.
n
ever pour the additive into the  d iesel 
fuel tank.
Recommendations on storage
never store containers or bottles of a dBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the AdBlue
® additive
a
dBlue® freezes at about -11°C 
(12.2°
 
F) and deteriorates above 25°C 
(77°F).
It is recommended that containers and 
bottles be stored in a cool area and 
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the additive 
can be kept for at least a year.
a
dditive that has been frozen can be used 
once it has thawed out in ambient air. The SCR system includes an 
a
dBlue
® tank heater that ensures 
operation of the vehicle in normal 
conditions.
In exceptional situations, such as when 
the vehicle is kept at temperatures 
below -15°C (5°F) for a long period, 
there may be an emission fault alert 
related to freezing of the 
a
dBlue
® 
additive.
Park the vehicle in an area at a more 
moderate temperature for a few hours 
until the additive becomes a liquid 
again.
The emissions warning lamp does not 
go off immediately, but does so after a 
few miles of driving.

the key in the ignition position, certain 
functions (windscreen wiper
, electric 
windows, courtesy lamps, audio 
equipment, etc.) can only be used for a 
cumulative duration of thirty minutes, to
