Topping-up the AdBlue®
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation included in every routine service on your vehicle by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it may be necessary to top-up the fluid between services, more particularly if an alert (warning lamps and a message) signals the requirement.You can go to an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.If you envisage topping-up yourself, please read the following warnings carefully.
Precautions in use
Keep AdBlue® out of the reach of children, in its original bottle.Never transfer AdBlue® to another container: it would lose its purity.
Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the ISO 22241 standard.
Never dilute AdBlue® with water.Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel tank.
The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies topping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a US gallon) bottles from an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Never top-up from an AdBlue® dispenser reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid is non-flammable, colourless and odourless (kept in a cool area).In the event of contact with the skin, wash the affected area with soap and water. In the event of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate) the eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation persists, get medical attention.If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth with clean water and then drink plenty of water.In certain conditions (high ambient temperature, for example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).ImportantIf your vehicle's AdBlue® tank is completely empty (which is confirmed by the alert messages and the impossibility of starting the engine) you must add at least 3.8 litres (so two 1.89 litre bottles).
