time, but there are no problems on the
engine functionality;
if topping up is done with the UREA
tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle;
NOTE The driving conditions (altitude,
vehicle speed, load, etc.) determine the
quantity of UREA used by the vehicle.

IMPORTANT
Exceeding the maximum filling level
of the tank UREA, it can cause damage
to the tank and spilling UREA. Please
avoid topping up after filling the tank.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL. The UREA freezes at under -11
° C. Although the system is designed
to operate below the freezing point
of the UREA, it is advisable not to fill the
tank beyond the maximum level
because if the UREA freezes the
system can be damaged.
If the UREA 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
UREA was accidentally added to the
Diesel fuel tank, this can result in
serious engine damage, contact
Dealership.
Use AdBlue only according to DIN
70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids
may cause damage to the system: also
exhaust emissions would no longer
comply with the law. The distribution
companies are responsible for the
compliance of their product. Observe
the precautions of storage and
servicing, in order to preserve the initial
qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognise any
guarantee in case of malfunctions and
damage caused to the vehicle due
to the use of urea (AdBlue) not in
accordance with regulations.
Any introduction of diesel fuel inside
the tank AdBlue, causes irreversible
damage to the pumping unit circuit
AdBlue.
Do not add additives to AdBlue. Do
not dilute AdBlue with tap water as
this may damage the system of
purification of exhaust gases.
In case of damage to the sewage
system of exhaust gas resulting from
the use of additives / tap water, the
introduction of diesel fuel, or at least by
not fulfilling the requirements, the
warranty expires.
AdBlue tank topping (UREA) in cold
environments
Since AdBlue (UREA) starts to freeze
around the -11 °C, the vehicle is
equipped with an automatic system of
heating UREA that allows the system to
function properly at temperatures
below -11 °C.
If the vehicle remains idle for a long
period at temperatures below the -11
°C, the UREA in the tank might freeze.
If the tank UREA was filled beyond
the maximum level and freezes, it can
be damaged; for this reason it is
advisable not to exceed the maximum
level of the tank.
Pay extra attention to avoid exceeding
the maximum level when you use
portable containers for topping up.
