Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make
Outside The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and
uneven wear patterns. Check for stones,
nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the
tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts
and cracks. Inspect sidewalls for cuts,
cracks, and bulges. Check the wheel nuts for
tightness. Check the tires (including spare)
for proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of
brake lights and exterior lights while you
work the controls. Check turn signal and high
beam indicator lights on the instrument
panel.
Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and
locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check the area under the vehicle after over-
night parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other
fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are
detected or if fuel, or brake fluid leaks are
suspected, the cause should be located and
corrected immediately.
If the vehicle carpet has been removed
and re-installed, always properly attach
carpet to the floor and check the floor
mat fasteners are secure to the vehicle
carpet. Fully depress each pedal to
check for interference with the acceler -
ator, brake, or clutch pedals then
re-install the floor mats.
It is recommended to only use mild soap
and water to clean your floor mats. After
cleaning, always check your floor mat
has been properly installed and is
secured to your vehicle using the floor
mat fasteners by lightly pulling mat.

Adblue® (UREA) — If Equipped
The vehicle is equipped with an UREA injec-
tion system and Selective Catalytic Reduc -
tion to meet emission standards. These two
systems ensure compliance with the diesel
emissions requirements; at the same time,
they ensure fuel-efficiency, handling, torque
and power. For messages and system warn -
ings, refer to the “Warning Lights And
Messages” in the “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” section. AdBlue® (UREA)
is a very stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored at temperatures LOWER than 90 °F
(32 °C), it has a shelf life of at least one year.
For more information on the AdBlue® liquid
type, see the “Fluids and lubricants” in the
“Technical specifications” section. The
vehicle is equipped with an automatic
AdBlue® heating system when the engine
starts allowing the system to work correctly
at temperatures lower than 12 °F (-11 °C).
NOTE:
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures lower than
12 °F (-11 °C).
AdBlue® (UREA) Storage
AdBlue® (UREA) is considered a very stable
product with a long shelf life. If AdBlue®
(UREA) is kept in temperatures between 10°
and 90°F (-12° and 32°C), it will last a
minimum of one year.
AdBlue® (UREA) is subject to freezing at the
lowest temperatures. For example, AdBlue®
(UREA) may freeze at temperatures at or
below 12° F (-11° C). The system has been
designed to operate in this environment.
NOTE:
When working with AdBlue® (UREA), it is
important to know that:
Any containers or parts that come into
contact with AdBlue® (UREA) must be
AdBlue® (UREA) compatible (plastic or
stainless steel). Copper, brass, aluminum,
iron or non-stainless steel should be
avoided as they are subject to corrosion by
AdBlue® (UREA).
If AdBlue® (UREA) is spilled, it should be
wiped up completely.
Adding AdBlue® (UREA)
Preliminary Conditions
AdBlue® (UREA) freezes at temperatures
lower than 12° F (-11° C). If the car stands
for a long time at this temperature refilling
could be difficult. For this reason, it is
advised to park the vehicle in a garage and/
or heated environment and wait for the
UREA to return to liquid state before topping
up.
Proceed as follows:
Park the car on flat ground and stop the
engine by placing the ignition in the OFF
position.
Open the fuel door, undo and remove the
cap (blue) from the AdBlue® (UREA)
filler.

STARTING AND OPERATING
176
Fuel And AdBlue® (UREA) Filler Location
Refilling With Nozzles
You can fill up at any AdBlue® (UREA)
distributor.
Proceed as follows:
Insert the AdBlue® (UREA) nozzle in the
filler, start refilling and stop refilling at the
first shut-off (the shut-off indicates that
the AdBlue® (UREA) tank is full). Do not
proceed with the refilling, to prevent
spillage of AdBlue® (UREA).
Extract the nozzle. Refilling With Containers
Proceed as follows:
Check the expiration date.
Read the advice for use on the label before
pouring the content of the bottle into the
AdBlue® (UREA) tank.
If systems which cannot be screwed in
(e.g. tanks) are used for refilling, after the
indication appears on the instrument
panel display refer to “Warning lights And
Messages” in the “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” for further information,
fill the AdBlue® (UREA) tank with no
more than 1.6 Gallons (6 liters).
If containers which can be screwed to the
filler are used, the reservoir is full when
the AdBlue® (UREA) level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.
Operations After Refilling
Proceed as follows:
Fit the cap back on the AdBlue® (UREA)
filler by turning it clockwise and screwing
it completely.
Place the ignition to RUN (it is not neces-
sary to start the engine).
Wait for the indication on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the car.
The indication may stay on for a few
seconds to approximately half a minute. If
the engine is started and the car is moved,
the indication will remain on for longer.
This will not compromise engine opera-
tion.
If the AdBlue® (UREA) was topped up
when the tank was empty, wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.

177
NOTE:
If AdBlue® (UREA) is spilled out of the
filler neck, clean up well the area and
proceed to filling up again. If the liquid
crystallizes, eliminate it with a sponge and
warm water.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM LEVEL:
this could cause damage to the reservoir.
AdBlue® (UREA) freezes at under 12° F
(-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. Follow the instructions in this
section.
If the AdBlue® (UREA) is spilled on
painted surfaces or aluminum, immedi-
ately 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 AdBlue®
(UREA) was accidentally added to the
diesel fuel tank, this can result in serious
engine damage, contact an authorized
dealer.
Do not add additives or other fluids to
AdBlue® (UREA), doing so could damage
the system.
The use of non-conforming or degraded
AdBlue® (UREA) may lead to indications
appearing on the instrument panel display
refer to “Warning Lights And Messages” in
the “Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
Never pour AdBlue® (UREA) into another
container: it could be contaminated.
If the AdBlue® (UREA) runs out, see refer
to “Warning Lights And Messages” in the
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel”
for further information to continue using
the car normally.
