check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the
AdBlue
® tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling,
after the indication appears on the
instrument panel display (see "Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in
the "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter), fill the AdBlue ® tank with no
more than
9 litres
;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is
full when the AdBlue ® level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap (B) fig. 150 back on the
AdBlue ® filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
set the starter switch to MAR (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the vehicle. The indication
may stay on for a few seconds to
approximately half a minute.
If the engine is started and the vehicle
is moved, the indication will remain on
for longer. This will not compromise
engine operation;
if the AdBlue ® was topped up when
the tank was empty, see the "Refuelling
" paragraph in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter and wait for 2
minutes before starting the engine.
WARNING If AdBlue ® is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again. If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage
to the reservoir. 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. Follow the instructions
in the "Topping up AdBlue®
(UREA) diesel emissions additive"
paragraph in this chapter.
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
a Fiat Dealership.
Do not add additives or other
fluids to AdBlue®, doing so could
damage the system.
The use of non-conforming
or degraded AdBlue® may lead
to indications appearing on the
instrument panel display (see
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
Never pour AdBlue® into
another container: it could be
contaminated.
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.
If the AdBlue® runs out, see
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter
to continue using the vehicle
normally.
