Filling
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat  and   level   surface.
Pour
  the   contents   of   the   container   /  
bottle

  into   the   dedicated   tank.
After
  filling   the  
AdBlue® tank, observe the
 
following
 
procedure:
-

Switch on the ignition without
starting.
-


W

ait 10 seconds before starting the
engine.
Never dispose of empty AdBlue
®
containers and bottles in the
household
 
waste.
Place them in a special container
provided
 
this
 
purpose
 
or
 
take
 
them
 
to  
your

 
dealer. Keep AdBlue
® out of the
reach of children, in its original
container.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container:
 
it
 
would
 
loose   its   purity.
Never
 
dilute
 
the
 
fluid
 
with   water.
Never
 
pour
 
the
 
fluid
 
into   the   Diesel   fuel  
tank.
Recommendations on storage
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® 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   fluid   can  
be

 
kept
  for   at   least   a   year.
Additive that has been frozen can
be used once it has thawed out in
ambient air. The SCR system includes an
AdBlue
® 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

AdBlue
®
additive.
Park
 
the
 
vehicle
 
in
 
an
 
area
 
at
 
a
 
more  
moderate temperature for a few hours
until

the AdBlue
® becomes a fluid again.
The emissions warning lamp does not
go of
f immediately, but does so after a
few
 
miles
 
of
 
driving.
